IN FOREIGN LANDS Mrs. McPherson, during th last fifteen years has traveled over the entire United States and through many foreign lands, doing evangelistic work. Her sermons, at first were preached in a tent. Gradually she became known and loved. People flocked to her messages, and during the last few years, she has filled to overflowing many of the largeet auditoriums in the United States.

Mrs. Mo Pherson eald: "Today is the hap-pleat day of my entire life I can hardly believe yet that this great temple has been built for me that so much of my work has been accomplished. I heard the call to God' work, and left my home on a Canadian farm when I was 17 year old. Since then I have been preaching constantly.

Winter found me in the South, summer found In the North alwaya conducting evangellatlo services. I spent a few yeare In China in missionary work. Four years ago I cam to California. I loved the country and resolved to stay. Something within me told me that I must.

I arrived here with only 110. At no time have I had any backing or board of directors, yet today I am holding dedication services in this wonderful temple, built entirely by the contributions of frlende from every country of th world. have never been so happy." GYTSXES FROM AFAR The 140 gypsies who were present at yesterday' service have driven her from point as far distant as New York and Florida. They have come to hear the message of the woman who has made their wellfare her own. They are a people who have no Bible In their own language, and whom no one ever has endeavored to teach the principle of the Christian religion.

Mrs. McPherson has devoted a great deal of her time to their Instruction. She has dealt with them as one might with children holding open-air services In the woods teaching them to sing hymns, and telling them the storr of ue Christ. They have accepted her teachings and are flocking to hear her sermons.
