*** [https://www.newspapers.com/image/482153046 1888-2-10]: Revival: "Max Isaac Reich, the converted Jew is having marked success in the revival work going on now in the Presbyterian church. He commenced Sunday night the 29th day of January and has preached every night since. We are glad to see they are having meetings at Parsons and that quite a number have been convened there, many surrendering. Mr. Reich is not a member of any church having never decided to join any denomination. He is very earnest, talks as loud as a Methodist, believes in immersion like a Baptist, prays as heartily as an old school Presbyterian and with all is as jovial and pleasant as a child, and never takes up a collection. He is only twenty-one and was born in Berlin."
*** [https://www.newspapers.com/image/482153081 1888-2-17]: "Max Isaac Reich, the converted Jew, has held meetings for nearly three weeks and has preached every night excepting one. Monday night he was at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherryvale,_Kansas Cherryvale] where he preached to a full house. He is only twenty-one years old and yet he preaches with wonderful power, and tells the truth of the Gospel in a plain and forcible manner. Last Sunday night the Presbyterian Church, in which the meetings are being held, was full and great interest manifested. Reich has never united with any church since his conversion and seems rather to favor the idea that if he belongs to Christ it is not absolutely necessary to salvation to be a member of any church. He does not take up a collection, giving as a reason that he is now "living off his Father" who, he says, is rich; richer than the Rothchilds, richer than any Jew in all the world, and that his Father holds the wealth of all the earth in His hands. He says also that he has a hundred homes according to the scriptural promise. He wants everybody to come to the meetings and if they are not satisfied he will give them two nights admission more, '''free''', for all those they are not pleased with."
