Bishop Joyce Leads Large Valley Camp Religious Revival
Under a midsummer sun 1,800 seats plus 800 standing were filled as Bishop Joyce of the Southern Diocese preached at Valley Camp. He urged that God educates minds and hearts, stressed Jesus’s power, and led a moving appeal where attendees remembered loved ones and many cried out for salvation. Dr. A. H. Norcross preached in the evening on the gospel’s mission to save, and a fundraising appeal for a Alabama church raised 280.62 amid a Johnstown flood survivor’s generous gift of 500.
