REOPENING of EVERYMAN'S BIBLE SEPT. 19 Welcome Sunday A Man’s Meeting For Men Meet the New Leader REV. DR. DAVID D. VAUGHAN Boston University Here is what they say about him: “David D. Vaughan has become the power he is today hy sheer will power and perseverence. He begins his lectures with a lincup of jokes and stories which get his audierice immediately into sym- pathy with him, but his address does not consist merely of stories. He pounded howe new facts which people had never thought about Dhefore in a way which made his hearers listen whether they wanted 10 or not. And they+did listen, nobody wanted to move, they were too much interested. Some facts were driven home so hard that unconsciously people are quoting them."—Washington, Towa, Demo- crat, “David D. Vaughan. the famons religious leader and settlement worker of Chicago, spoke on ‘American Idcals’ Dr. Vaughan is cloquent, forceful and entertaining, and left something with his audience that will bear thinking about.”—Evening Journal, Wash- ington, Iowa. “Dr. David D. Vaughan gave a stirring addrese. He is a fluent speaker, and he pounded home the truths as he sees them in no un- certain terms, and he convinces his hearers that he is right. His subject was handled in such a masterful way that the lecture was immediately declared ‘great’.’—Remington, Ind., Press. “David D. Vaughan stands among the best who have appeared before us, and we have had Bryan, Rabbi Wise and others of note. He brought a message and not a lot of platitudes, He has & fine delivery and voice, Is an cloquent speaker and a good, clear thinker."—Switzerland Democrat, Vevay, Ind.
