In Sunday Town
"The World's Greatest Bible Conference: International and Interdenominational: Nothing Like it Elsewhere: The World's Greatest Preachers, Bible Teachers and Christian Workers." Thus in church papers did the Winona Lake (Ind.) Bible Conference advertise its opening this week. For eleven hours a day did able evangelists, with Dr. William Edward Biederwolf directing, labor with the wicked, exalt the righteous.
Conspicuously absent was Winona Lake's most famed citizen, Presbyterian Evangelist William Ashley Sunday, 66. In recent years Mr. Sunday's vigor has diminished. He no longer exhorts as dramatically as in his heyday just after the War. Early last week he addressed the Miami Valley Chautauqua near Dayton, Ohio. Thence he hastened, past Winona Lake, to another of his homes in Hood River Valley, Ore.
