"'''6,000 Miles Covered By Gospel Preachers'''"
"TORONTO. Nov. 11: Speaking yesterday at the annual Thanksgiving Conference in Maranatha Hall, William Thomas told a fascinating story of the work of the [[Pilgrim Preachers]] who have traveled throughout the Old Land preaching the Gospel for the past five years. Taking as their password the words of the Psalmist, "They that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing." Mr. Thomas stated that the Pilgrim Preachers, composed of from 12 to 18 men, had traveled on foot or by bicycles over 6,000 miles, from Land's End to John o' Groats, touching every county in [[Scotland]], [[England]] and [[Wales]]. Among their numbers were business men, army and navy veterans and even an ex-convict."
