"Come over and help us!" "Open some Chris tian meetings!" is the call that has come from the city of Hojo from a radio listener. It wasn't a man in a vision that appeared atExie's door to

iisue the call, but a flesh and blood young man who had heard "Calvary Calls" from Manilla. In earlier correspondence with NCSA personnel
