Evangelist McPherson Draws 600 At Canton Altar Call
James V McCann reports the largest altar call of Mrs Lee Semple McPherson's Canton evangelistic campaign Friday night as nearly six hundred penitents streamed to the altar and many kneeled before the platform. Over two thousand conversion cards have been issued as the revival attracts men and women from all sections. The sermon Lost and Restored traced the Holy Spirit's dispensation from Pentecost to the second coming, with a vision-based chart illustrating the message. The text drew from Joel about restoration after a period of spiritual decline. The article notes sensational, widespread response and outlines the preacher's doctrinal framing of three dispensations within the Trinity.
