ever is catching on better than was
at first anticipated, and Hearn says
he is getting inquiries from nu

if a lot of people everywhere are
going to be invited to “Come To

is not a bad idea, after all. More

“Uncle George" straightened out
on this business, of advertising, a
little more consistently, we’ll also
be in the mood to sdy "more power

It is gratifying to members of
the Herald force that the “Come

strong. P’irst, we are great advo

attendance and hearing the Word
