Description

“The Lord has surely been good to us, Ren, and we have both witnessed marvellous doings in the Master’s work”

Evangelist, and former baseball player, who preached a fundamentalist theology in a highly flamboyant style. TLS signed “Wm. Sunday,” one page, 8.5 x 11, Huntington Evangelistic Association letterhead, May 6, 1914. In a letter to Ren. Mulford Jr., Sunday writes to his “Pal,” in full: “Mighty glad to hear from you. Sorry you couldn’t stop off while so near us. The little motto came, and it’s a dandy. I wish you send me a half dozen copies of this—if you have them. The Lord has surely been good to us, Ren, and we have both witnessed marvellous doings in the Master’s work. May God bless you, old scout, and keep you steadfast and faithful to Him in our prayer.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one of which lightly affects the first letter of the last name, a small area of separation along the central horizontal fold, uniform toning, a few small edge tears, and three binder holes to the left edge.
