There is a picture of four of the [[Gospel Messengers]] in Sept. 1950 [[Light and Liberty]], p. 242 of the annual edition.
"The [[Gospel Messengers]] spent a week in Fort Dodge and vicinity in August, holding open-air meetings in the City Square Park and at neighboring towns; held an all-day meeting with the Fort Dodge assembly, besides placing gospel literature at the homes, and taking the Sunday morning Radio broadcast. Other [[Iowa]] towns in which they worked include:
* Epworth (where ritualists tried to chase them out of town with a shower of green apples)
* Cylinder
[[Illinois]] towns reached:
* Rockford
* Pecatonica
* Durand
* Harvard
* Antioch
Most of July had been spent in [[Wisconsin]]:
* Beloit
* [[Brodhead Gospel Hall, WI|Brodhead]]
* New London
Most of these towns were specially receptive, and visible audiences were larger than usual, while everywhere the Public Address system reached people out of sight in cars, homes, etc. At Sturgeon Bay, the police cooperated in securing the best location for a meeting; with cherry-pickers present from many parts of the [[United States]], also Mexicans and Jamaicans. The brethren here have had some remarkable experiences, indicating the Lord's guidance and blessing. The Tour closes at Sioux City with an all-day meeting Aug. 27th, after brief runs into [[Minnesota]], [[South Dakota]] and [[Nebraska]].
