Evangelist Strouse thoroughly un derstands the'sin question from aJBible standpoint, and makes no sort of com promise" with the world, the flesh and the devil, but preaches and teaches a doctrine that saves, and convinces his hearers with Bible quotations logically interpreted of the correctness of his positions.
