Re: Who was Harry Morse ?
A handful of copies of the Apostolic Herald (PCI) came in the post today. They are from 1929, 1930, 1934, 1936 and 1945.
Included are a few articles penned by Harry Morse. A picture of Harry and Maude celebrating 30 years at Oakland accompanies a short (too short !!) celebration of their ministry:
Brother and Sister Morse have completed thirty years of ministry in Oakland, California.
In 1915, they opened up a work known as the "8th Street Hall," but later moved to a location which became known as the "Downtown Mission," where they labored for many years and became a national symbol in the missionary effort.
A short time ago, Brother Morse and his fine assembly purchased their own building which is located only a short distance from the former location. They are still moving ahead for the Lord and have that same zeal for lost souls.
Brother and Sister Morse have proved that it pays to "stick" with the church through good times and trying times. God bless Brother and Sister Morse as they celebrate their "30 years of service in Oakland, California."
Other data includes a unknown student, Rose Hudson (class of 1936), and mission reports from former students of Harry Morse. A more careful analysts will provide more data.
A total of 7 issues of the Apostolic Herald is a real treasure trove of data. Now I just need to find some Gospel Tidings magazines. Also, copies of the Apostolic Light (1907 Spokane, WA) are on the wish list.
It has been a good week for the Harry Morse biography project.
