Park meeting at Fresno, talking to the checker players.

           
Staggered out a 5:30, crawled through the fog from the porch to kitchen and prepared for the days work. Had meeting from 7:45 to 9, then fixed wrecked Ford till noon. At noon I was told that a street meeting was to be held at 2:30 and I was to talk using Faith as my subject. We arrived on the said corner at the set time but due to the fact that there was an old lady there ringing a bell we decided not to hold it on that corner and so we went up to the park and held it there. We had a bunch of checker players for an audience and they played checkers while we preached. Boy I surely felt foolish up on the platform talking to such a bunch, but I am still alive and feel very glad that my first park meeting is over.
