Dynamic Young Evangelist Had Poverty-Stricken Start
A week-long evangelistic cam-
paign featuring a dynamic young
Texas preacher-singer team
closes Sunday at Sapulpa’s First
Baptist church.
Sunday morning’s worship ser-
vice will be the final appearance
of the campaign by evangelist
James Robison and musician
John McKay, according to the
Rev. Alvin W. Hedin, pastor
of the church.
Mr. Robison, plagued by in-
flamed tonsils during his week
in Sapulpa, has nonetheless
spoken to capacity-plus crowds
nightly at the church and made
speaking appearances at Sapulpa
and Kiefer schools.
The 24-year-old preacher re-
ceived a standing ovation Thurs-
day in talks on morality and
clean living to Sapulpa High
school and junior high audiences.
Mr. Robison and his partner,
John McKay, form one of the
most widely sought evangelistic
duos in the United States to-
day. Both make their homes in
Hurst, Tex., near Fort Worth,

but are in meetings a majority
of the time. They have receiv-
ed some 400 invitations for cur-
sades this year.
The minister, who is com-
pleting his college education at
East Texas Baptist College,
Marshall, Tex., has conducted
250 campaigns in the six years
he has been preaching.
Born in a charity ward in
Pasadena, Tex., he was the son
of an alcoholic who left his
mother. The mother then gave
him to foster parents three
weeks later by running an adver-
tisement in a Houston news-
paper.
A minister and his wife took
the Robison infant into their
home, but his mother reolaimed
him five years later.
The next 10 years were spent
in a poverty-stricken evniron-
ment, with his mother moving
17 times from shack to shack.
He ran away at the age of
15 and was again taken in by
the minister and his wife, who
led him to his conversion ex-
perience.
Robison preaches forcefully,
simply and with some of the
same vocal characteristics and
gestures as Billy Graham,
to whom he has been compared,
but, he shuns such comparisons.
The Rev. John Bisagno of Del
City, general chairman of a 10-
day crusade in Oklahoma City
in February, reported this week
that 70,000 people attended the
12 services there with 1,545
decisions recorded and an of-
fering of $15,000.

Babbling Brooks
Spring sun shines on babbling brooks — and barbed wire. A bird
song lilts prettily oniragrant air — and a snijier shot splits the silence.
New green burgeons through brown winter grasses — and red blood
drenches jungle earth.
One’s description of the season depends upon location. In some parts
of the world there are happy people, enjoying the spring, looking for-
ward to Easter services. Other faces of this globe find suffering people,
anguished by the sunshine, hungry, afraid, lonely, dying.
Centuries ago on black Calvary hill, Jesus of Nazareth demonstrated
perfect love. Dow n through the ages, His life and teachings have pointed
the way for mankind to heal the ills of the world.
So, in this Lenten season let us offer ourselves—our time and talents
_to the service of His Church, in its task of making His kingdom come
upon earth.

MR. V. H. SHUMWAY
ing pagan dancing, heathen rites,
and the Assemblies of God work
in Nigeria, or a film on wild
animals In their natural habitat.
Mrs. Shumway has written Sun-
day School lessons in Hausa,
the native tongue, which are
used by the Northern Nigeria
Women’s Missionary Council, an
organization designed to provide
an outlet of Christian service
for the women of the denomina-
tion.
Shumway has served as
district superintendent of the
Northern District Council of the
Assemblies of God of Nigeria.
During their last term of mis-
sions work, the couple and their
three children, Vinton, Thomas
and David, were stationed at
Northern Nigeria Bible Institute,
where Shumway served as prin-
cipal. The school offers a full
three-year Bible course, and
all the textbooks have been trans-
lated into Hausa.
The Shumways formerly
pastored churches in El Dorado
and Pratt, Kan., St. Joseph,
Mo., and in Guthrie.
Glen D. Callaway of the Sa-
pulpa Congregation of Jehovah’s
Witnesses has just completed
a five-month specialized course
in Bible instruction and mis-
sionary training at the Watch-
tower Bible School of Gilead
in New York City.
The course provided each day
for a half-day’s classroom ac-
tivity and a half-day’s practical
training. Academic studies in-
cluded a chapter-by-chapter
study of the entire Bible, the
relation of world history to the
history of the Bible as well
as Bible teaching techniques. A
very practical feature of their
missionary training was the in-
tensive instruction given every
student in one of the following
languages: Spanish, F rench,
Portugese and Chinese. These
studies were shared by a class
of 101 selected ministers of
Jehovah’s Witnesses who were
gathered from 11 lands around
the world. The graduates, all of
whom expressed anticipation for
their future work of Bible in-
struction, have been assigned to
a total of 34 different lands.
“It was most impressive,”
Callaway said, “to observe the
force tor peace that the Bible
exerted in our close association
with so many different nation-
alities and cultural back-
grounds” Mr. Callaway is be-
ing sent to Paraguay, South
America on special assignment.
A member of the local con-
gregation 12 years, his parents
live near Beggs.
