1920--
Increased Attendance At Meetings In First Baptist Church
Bob Green, the famous evangelist, who is conducting a series of meetings at the First Baptist church in this city, is drawing larger crowds each night. His oratory and appeals to people to lead different lives is being helped by the large chorus choir under direction of Philip Brown.
"The Winning of Men," or "A Passion for Souls," is being brought out by the evangelist in a series of addresses and he is doing it in a way that appeals to intelligent, honest people.
The evangelist, who is known in his home town, Franklin, Pa., as Rev. R. M. Green, pastor of the Baptist church there, is regarded by many as one of the most famous pulpit speakers in the state of Pennsylvania.
