BIO:John Elward Brown 1879-1957

   Evangelist, educator, broadcaster, and author. Dr. John E. Brown,
founder of the university that bears his name, will be remembered
throughout eternity as an evangelist who led more than 400,000 souls to
Christ through evangelistic campaigns, church crusades, personal work
and Christian education. In a day when in some circles evangelism was
subject, John Brown of Arkansas, as he was called so often, proved the
validity of evangelism by conducting city-wide meetings that were suc-
cessful in their spiritual response and above reproach in ev- ery
business transaction. Businessmen and children alike loved and
respected him.

   His crusades carried him to every part of the United States and
Canada, while his most successful campaigns were conducted in
California. Dr. Brown will be remembered for his messages on the Holy
Spirit. Many of those messages are com- piled in one of the more than
40 books he authored, this one titled, Will Pentecost Be Repeated?

   John E. Brown, Sr., continues to be remembered by his broadcasts,
for "he, being dead, yet speaketh." The broadcasts are aired today on
KUOA in Siloam Springs, Arkan- sas, and KGER, Long Beach, California.
The school that bears his name, John Brown University, is located in
Siloam Springs, Arkansas. It is a fully accredited, distinctly evan-
gelical university whose motto is, "Christ over all." The unique
educational aspect of his school continues to empha- size threefold,
Christ-centered education--namely, head, heart, and hand. As Dr. Brown
has said so often, "The way to victory in a few words is...trust
God...go to work!"
