Theological literature penned by Harry Morse is scarce. But a few trends are noteworthy.
The Bid Downtown Mission was, in it's day, the largest Oneness church on the West Coast. Harry Morse was on the radio from it's beginning and preached on the radio for 30 years. Women taught in the Bible school and preached in the church. Foreign mission was central to the Big Downtown Mission. The mission had a Bible school.
The church in Stockton has a radio station. It is one of the largest Oneness churches on the West Coast. Women teach at all levels at the church and in the college. Foreign missions is central to the church. The church has a Bible school.
Can I prove these elements are connected ? No. They are observations. The Foreign missions element may be too general to be included on the list. Not sure.

Scott: From personal experience I can verify your observations concerning the school in Oakland and what later transpired in Stockton. As to the Foreign missions element, there is a long history in Stockton of missions with Olive Gray Haney and David Gray being children of missionary parents to Japan prior to WW II. You are doing an awesome job of research and the finished results will be a work of which anyone could be proud.
Keep up the great work!
