After entering the ministry, he preached in the army camps during World War I, and later held citywide meetings in the various cities across America. In one meeting in Philadelphia, over 2,300,000 people attended during a period of eight weeks. He held campaigns for over 20 years and liter- ally “burned out” for Christ.
