5/6/1923 (Stockton Independent, p. 16) An enthusiastic audience listener to Rev. Tatman Friday night in the big tent on California street, as ho spoke on the Christian’s need of the Holy Ghost baptism. Mr. Tatman has been with the Pentecostal movement from tho beginning when seventeen years ago in a mission on Azusa street, Los Angeles, the signs that Jesus said would follow the believers first began to be known In this generation. Jesus said, “These signs shall follow those that believe, they shall cast out devils, they shall speak with new tongues’’
Mk. 16:17. In his own vivid language he thundered, “Men came from all over the world to stop it. Long coat tailed preachers, and short coat tailed preachers, and high hat preachers, and preachers of all sorts looked on, and when they could not stop It they started to ridicule by calling us holy rollers, but we fooled them all and rolled right over all opposition. Then they said leave it alone and it will soon blow over. This time they were right for the thing has blown over all the world. This movement is of God, for it is God’s enduement of power to His believing children that they might witness of His might with signs and wonders following.” The speaker was tremendously in earnest and thrilled his audience again and again with unexpected sallies and sudden postures. He must be seen as well as heard and though this is only his second night here, already a large following of people have been attracted I to him and men are saying we | never heard it on this wise before. His subject for tonight is, “The Signs of the Times.”
