A little moving stress relief
Just saw the announcement about selling the WMC and moving the historical center, but it doesn't say one word about moving to WHERE?
I sang in a quartet from Seattle Pacific College called the Jubilaires that was recorded for a Light and Life Hour radio broadcast about 1967 -- any information you have would be much appreciated, Paul Winslow --

UPDATE: Regarding the title, I think I'm going to go with the witty "FM History All Decked Out" headline suggested by John Waldo. Thanks, John!
I'm preparing to write a news story for Light + Life Magazine in the next few days about the Free Methodist Timeline game -- the last article still needed for the August issue that will be sent to the printer before GC19. Before I write the article, I'm needing to come up with a catchy title/headline so I can complete the issue's cover and highlights (table of contents) pages and send to the designer and for Spanish translation. The best I've come up with is "FM History Is in the Cards." When I look up the phrase "in the cards," it could be traced to tarot cards. My first question is: Would anybody in this group be offended by the use of the phrase in association with the game? I think the phrase is common enough that it's not necessarily tied to tarot, but I'd like this group's take. ... My other request is that if you've played the FM Timeline game already and enjoyed it, I'd appreciate it if you would send me a brief endorsement/testimonial that I could potentially use as a quote in the story; I would need this by Sunday evening. If you were involved in creating the game, I’d love to hear from you too about your role and your thoughts on the completed game. If you're my Facebook friend, you could send it via Messenger, or feel free to email me:

Jen Finley and I met with BT Roberts and Ellen Roberts today at the Marston Memorial Historical Center’s Zahniser Chapel.

While doing research on the Pentecost Bands I came across this article from the January 12, 1890 edition of The Indianapolis Journal. Many such incidents are recorded in Dake's biography, "The Life and Labors of Rev. Vivian A. Dake," which can be found at

Here's another newspaper report about a "tabernacle meeting" that took place in Sullivan, Illinois in 1913. Note that the leader of the meeting, Bersha Green, was an ordained deacon. Five other women served with her. The "lady from Indianapolis" mentioned was probably Miss Minnie K. Hessler. This article is from the June 21, 1913 edition of The Saturday Herald in Sullivan, Illinois.

Here's a follow-up to yesterday's post with notes on one of S. Ada Hall's sermons, published in the January 3, 1921 edition of the Riverside Daily Press. Click to expand the text.
When doing research for a Free Methodist Timeline game (more on that later), I came across this article about FM evangelist S. Ada Hall from the December 31, 1920 issue of the Riverside Daily Press from Riverside, California. Pay particular attention to the last sentence!
This just popped up in my Free Methodist Google alert.
