The Ark is a type of Christ, and unless the sinner is in the ark, there is no refuge from the judgment, and unless the sinner is in Christ, there will be no refuge from the storm of God's wrath. Come tonight at 7:45 and hear Mr. Ray."

• TIG 1934-12-24: Stole Holiday Tree From Church: Philadelphia, Dec. 24: "In the little home Paul and Johnny Chizrolanza, 10 and 11 years old respectively, stands a gaunt, bare Christmas tree. There were no funds for decorations. Untrimmed, the pine tree didn't seem to add any joy to the household. Defeating its purpose, it only made Paul and Johnny recall better days when Santa Claus was more generous. So the little brothers smashed in a window and entered Gospel Hall here. They were captured in the act of stripping the religious auditorium's Christmas tree of its ornaments. In the House of Detention today, the young brothers were praying that a kind-hearted Judge would let them return to their home with its bare Christmas tree."

1935

• TIG 1935-3-8: REVIVALS: Gospel Hall: "Special Evangelistic services are beginning in the Gospel Hall, rear of Troutman's Store on Carpenter Avenue on Sunday, March 10th at 7:30 p.m. and continuing each night (excepting Saturday) at 7:45. A large chart will be used showing the future destiny of all men, also proving from scripture future events that are soon to transpire such as: 'The coming of the Lord', 'War in Heaven', 'The Great Tribulation', 'The Millennium', and 'The Judgment Day before The Great White Throne'; then the 'New Heavens and the New Earth'. These events were all foretold by the Holy prophets and apostles of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Come and hear, everything free and all are welcome. R.A. Crawford and A.R. Klabunda will preach."

• TIG 1935-3-14: REVIVALS: Gospel Hall: "'Death and the Hereafter' was the theme of addresses delivered at the Gospel Hall (rear of Troutman's store) last night, as revealed and illustrated by a large chart. The necessity of being born again (John 3:3) was emphasized as the only way whereby men may escape the wrath to come. Other prophetic truths will be taken up in the nights to come, such as 'The Great Tribulation', 'The Antichrist', 'The Lord's Coming' and 'The Judgment of the living nations'. Tonight the messages will be devoted to the subject of Hell. 'Is there a Hell? Where is it, and who goes to it?' Services continue each night, except Saturday, at 7:45. All welcome."

• TIG 1935-3-15: REVIVALS: Gospel Hall: "Tonight will be the fifth in a series of gospel meetings which are being held by A.P. Klabunda of Indiana and R.A. Crawford of Pittsburgh, in the Gospel Hall... a large chart showing the future destiny of man and coming events is being used. The subject to be taken up tonight will be 'The Coming of the Lord', the questions: 'Who will He come for?' and 'How shall He come?' will be answered. Such subjects as the 'Reign of the Anti-Christ', 'The Great Tribulation' and the 'War in Heaven' will be spoken on in nights yet to come. All are welcome! Come and bring a friend."
