Description

The one-armed general hopes the youth “will be the means of converting many souls”

Letter to Francis Edward Clark of the Society of Christian Endeavor. In part: “I am delighted to have the young people come together in Boston fifty thousand strong and hope they will be the means of converting many souls during their visit.
