His initial reaction to Moody's invitation to join him in evangelistic work".}
Billy Sunday {Prohibition}{Anti-Booze}{Open Air Meeting}

States, Australia and south Africa}
Charles N. Alexander {1867-1920 "I have
yet to see the first church that remained empty for long where each person entered
heartily into the singing of hymns. In order to maintain this equality [between preaching
and singing], every individual must be made to feel his responsibility in the singing part
of the worship."
"Chalie," as he was known to thousands who attended the great
revival crusades of R. A. Torrey and J. Wilbur Chapman, was a gifted musician.

Presbyterian, he had great success in four pastorates, but is best remembered as a
powerful evangelist}
Homer Rodeheaver {1880-1955 Singer and music evangelist, is generally considered the most

John Brown {Evangelist, lecturer, and founder of John
Brown University in 1919.
Peter Marshall {Unaware of the previous night's heated dialogue between two
senators, Peter Marsahll, Chaplain to the U. S. Senate, began, the session of April 3,
1947, with this prayer: "Gracious, Father, we, Thy children, so often confused, live
at cross-purposes in our central aim, hence we are at cross-purposes with each other. Take
us by the hand and help us see things from Thy viewpoint...."
As Marshall left the Senate chamber, one of the
senators involved in the quarrel followed him and offered the surprised chaplain an
apology for his behavior.
This incident encapsulated the nature of the jocular Scotsman's influential
ministry. He was straightforward and eminently practical. Supremely, he was led by God's
Spirit.}
