1950 Gospel Messengers
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)
- Dubuque
- Cedar Falls
- Waterloo
- Waverly
- Williams

Most of July had been spent in Wisconsin:
- Beloit

- Forestville
- Dyckesville
- Casco
- Algoma
- Green Bay

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.
