Why was Morse part of the merger but not in the 1952 directory ? Trying to get into his head is not easy !!

He had speakers from a variety of denominations preach at his church. He was influenced by the Aimee McPherson crusade she had in Oakland. He used her songbook in his church. So why did he not join the Four Square Church ? Was it due to his experience at Arroyo Seco Camp meeting ? There were AOG churches in Oakland, but he did not join them, either.

My friend whose grandfather pastored Ewart's church in LA said according to what he remembered Morse didn't much interaction with Oneness(UPC) folks in his later years with the exception of the Northwest guys?(he named the Yadons) Said the California brethren were distanced because of many of his teachings. However he did say Morse was strong on divine healing and opposed to medicine and doctors.
Sorry I tried.

The likes of I.H. Terry, Davis, etc.

Today I talked to a lady who was born at the mission in Oakland. I also ordered a oral presentation made a bout the mission by Paul Price.

If all goes well, I will have notes from 2 different students. But it is all talk until they are in my hands.

I also contacted a different child whose parents attended the school ran by Harry Morse.

I am learning about the relationship between the Penial mission and the Nazarine church and Pentecostalism. their histories are bound together, at least in the beginning.

Were Aimee McPherson and Harry Morse related? I think her birth name was Morse.

I'm listening to a cd from Urshan and one from Price about Harry Morse and the history of the Western district. It has been a long time since I heard their voice.

Still gathering data.

Re: Who was Harry Morse ?
 
The AOG archive contacted me today. They will offer support as I need it. They had 8 articles penned by Morse. They gave me the name of another Pentecostal archive.

One of the children Harry's Bible School gave me a lead about a biography that had 2 chapters about the school. I ordered that today.

Progress is measured in inches. I suppose the book will be finished in a year.

The AOG archivist really thinks it is important that I produce a book. It is becoming more apparent that biographies are a group effort.

Fishing stories are much easier to write !!
