GIPSY SMITH WILL LECTURE IN P. B. H.

Gipsy Smith, colorful Evangelist who has been drawing crowds mounting into the thousands during his present campaign in Boston, will speak at the Phillips Brooks House tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock, according to an announcement made yesterday by J. H. Lane '28, graduate secretary of the organization.

Admission tickets are necessary and are being given out at the Phillips Brooks House free of charge. The speaker will be introduced by C. W. Lowry 2E.T.S., secretary of the Graduate School Society of the P. B. H.

One of the great Evangelists of the world, Gipsy Smith was born in England 66 years ago. He began preaching immediately after his conversion in 1876, although he could neither read nor write; and it was then that he began his practice, which he has followed to the present day, of singing hymns to his audience when his vocabulary failed. When the Great War broke out, he tried to enlist, but his age disqualified him. He served as a minister, however, with the British Y. M. C. A. in 1916, 1917, and 1918, and for his work on the battlefields, he received the decoration of the order of the British government and the personal thanks of the King. At the close of the war, on the request of the British government, he visited America to assist in the promotion of friendly relations between the two countries. On this trip he traveled 50,000 miles and spoke 350 times in 54 cities, in different parts of the United States.
