New Members:
All the Protestant denominations of this continent are engaged in the planning, preparation and propagation of a great Forward Movement. It was demonstrated during the war what a nation devoted to a great cause could do. That great cause was war. There is a cause as much greater than war as the sun is greater than a comet, and that cause is the cause of our Lord Jesus Christ. The great golden bugle of heaven has sounded. Let us at Egerton Street move forward. March 1920 Calendar Rev. A. C. Bingham, 17 Smith St. Pastor Article published in the Calendar...
