Sixteen montha ugo the former ap peared In this-valley and both here, and later in western Oregon, gener ally, held a series of most remarkable evangelistic meetings, insomuch that the whole northwest has been stirred as never before. According to his own statement, Dr. Price was trans formed from a popular and unfruitful pulpiteer to a genulno winner of souls, through, the message, of this modern Joan d'Arc, Alinee Semple McPherson., . No reference of mine is needed to call to mind the stir which was occa sioned by the presence of Dr. Price In tills neighborhood. By many deeply spiritual people within all the denom inational churches and likewise by various worldly critics, the four-fold message of this flaming evangelist was heralded as the return to au apostate church of the glorious inher itance committed to His followers by .lesus Christ Himself. See Mk. 10:10 20). Ily others doubts were expressed and in .Isolated cases active opiosi tion was begun. The writer finally made a trip to Los Angeles for the express purpose of studying during a period of two months the work and ministry of Mrs. McPherson. If the results of this critical investigation may be of Inter est to my friends and acquaintances in this county through the courtesy of your columns, I am glad to present them. The sight which greets the visitor to AngeliiH Temple, the home base, of j the Four-Square gospel movement, is a. most Inspiring one. A great audito rium holding more tnan the wholo city of Medford at the census of 1920. This Is frequently filled to capacity with hundreds turned away. The attraction , Is simply the old story of the gospel, for Mrs. McPherBon Ib essentlaly an evangelist. Out of more than forty meetings held In the temple weekly, but two of them, are "healing" ser vices. Since the. opening of the tem ple January first of this year, thou sands upon thousands of men, women and children have knelt at the ultai there seeking the free gift of salva tion ten thousand up to September first by actual count. A "Watch Tower," where for nearly a year prayer has never ceased day . iiui iiif.ui its u imruui exjiuuaiiuu w some oi me marvelous results con stantly being obtained at the Tem ple. Hundreds of young people train ing for service; the largest Sunday school In the world: hundreds at visit ors from coa&f. to coast and foreign lands constantly In attendance;- these are some of the convincing fea tures of this great Holy Ghost revival. The organizing and presiding ge nlus of this movement is Mrs. Almee Semple McPherson. Called from a bumble farm home In Canada at the age of seventeen she .has almost lit erally "taught all nations" in a minis try which has reached America, Asia, Europe and the islands of the sea. At thirty-three Mrs. McPherson is an In ternational figure and one of the fore most religious leaders of this or any age. Humble, of child like faith, without personal ambition, untouched with modern materialism, "Slater" McPher son exemplifies In a marvelous dogrce what God is able to do with a will en tirely surrendered to Him. To ascribe sordid motives to her ministry Is to vllllfy and slander her. Prejudice and I unbelief break down before her. very evident lack of worldly wisdom. She constantly enthrones Jesus Christ. What seems to be the "bone of con tention" In this section concerning the ministry of this new school of believers Is that they preach and practice heal ing by Divine Power. With the words of Christ's commission (Mk. 1C) ringing la their ear and never yet withdrawn; with thA assurance that He Is "the same yesterday, today and forever" these Btrange people have had the temerity to steput on the promises and have proved In thous ands of recorded cases that He Is the great I Am of all ages. As before stated, the primary em phasis olj both Dr. Price and Mrs. McPherBon Is put upon evangelism. Christ Himself came to teach, but "moved with compassion," He somo- tlmes turned aside to heal bodies as well as souls. The healing ministry Is likewise with these, His followers, given a subordinate place. However, from the standpoint of the newspa pers the feature given most publicity Is the fact that the blind eyes are opened and the deaf ears unstopped; that the lamo are walking and the sick niade whole. Tho writer has seen the audience electrified by blindness healed In stantly, deafness healed Instantly," In fantile - paralysis healed Instantly, spot Other healings come gradually. I Doctors' certificates and X-ray platea, .testimonies of hundreds from Ike au dience, sufficiently establish for anyj .rational person the genuineness of the healings. Talk of "hypnotism" In conectlon with these healing services Is quite amusing to visitors at the Temple. I One pictures an Individual with beet ! ling brows peering out with plerciug eyes from cavernous ueptns, wioru I j movements and strange Incantations. I You are then quite unprepared for the 'fresh faced country girl in a simple wane qresg wnoee rauiauv iinue auu who is Mrs. Frieda Trevltt, of 2230 Duane Ave., Los Angeles. 1 have oft en heard her testify publicly to the genuineness of her henllng and have talked privately with her more In de tail about it. She was Instantly heal ed of blindness of forty-two years' standing. Just why there are such earnest at tempts mado In somo quarters to prove that Jesus Christ belongs to a past age is difficult to comprehend. We bolleve that He can save today. Ho Himself said, "Which is easier to Bay thy Bins be forgiven thee? or arise and walk?" That Is to say, "which Is oasler. to save from sin? or to heal?" Christ's injunction to His followers in the pnssngo mentioned was very clear. James 5th chapter glveB similar point ed Instructions, lloth Testament!! ore full of examples and promises of Ill- Vino healing. "1 am tho Lord that hoaleth theo." (Kx. 15:20.) It Is a significant fuct that neither of tho teachers In question over pause in their wonderful careers to "fight back." They leave tho "fighting" to others who are not as busy bringing surcease of sorrow to brokon bodies and sin-sick souls. Verily, "their works shall follow them." They are. moreover, only the advance agents of a great movemont being felt through out tho enrth to bring the healing min istry of Jesus Christ buck into the church where it belongs.
