More Than 1500 People Hear Chief White Eagle
From The Tabernacle TestifierOn Sunday night, August 30, a crowd estimated at from 1500 to 2000 people, packed the auditorium of The Tabernacle Baptist Church, with many standing outside, to hear Chief White Eagle, converted Indian chief of the Winnebago tribe, tell his life story of how he was brought up in a wigwam amidst the pagan customs of his people, and later won to Christ. Chief White Eagle is a man of attractive personality, and well educated being a graduate of Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. He is Well known from coast to coast, having

spoken in many of the largest churches, throughout the nation. He preaches the doctrines of the Baptist faith with true zeal. He and his wife travel continuously over the nation, doing a great deal of work among the 400,000 Indians in the various reservations throughout the United States.To this editor’s mind, the most important point in Chief White Eagle’s address delivered in The Tabernacle Baptist Church, was when he spoke of the great foreign missionary zeal claimed by the Baptists of the Nation as they work themselves into a frenzy about the lost condition of “the poor Chinese, etc.,” and overlook the fact that there are 400,000 red men in the continental United States, and most of that number are lost in sin. After all, are we really as missionary as we claim. If one is not interested in the salvation of the lost soul living next door, we wonder if that one is really interested in the lost soul living across the sea? We pray God's blessings upon Chief White Eagle and his good wife, as he preaches and sings the message of the Gospel of Grace to a lost world.
