This man of God has a wonderful message in his Gospel ad dresses, and is one of the safest and sanest evangelists we have ever heard. We could wish that it might be the plan of God for him to stay on the Coast for a long .time. The Program, for the Auditorium. We hope to be in our large auditorium in March. A. C.
