- could transform their lives. Soul-winning characterized his
- life, and he used every possible tool to accomplish it.

- 1924. He founded and for 40 years pastored Calvary Bible
- Church in Kansas City; founded and served as president of
- present-day Calvary Bible College; wrote 22 books; and trav-
- eled widely as a conference speaker.

- interesting, profitable, and eternally blessed."
