God Blesses Chart Ministry I 1 L ,11~1 ~~~ . _ ,... .. -. . . ".2??~1 - Recently your editor had the privilege of bearing Rev. Earl P . Muller mini ter with his chart . His n1essages were delivered with clarity and power. Although his messages are prophetic in nature, they are also evangelistic in appeal. Brother Muller is a graduate of Baptist Bible Seminary and has pastored two G.A.R.B. churches. uch men as Dr. Paul Jackson, Dr. J. Irving Ree e and Rev. Harold Hill, along with a host of other , highly recommend him. His charts vary in size from six to nine feet wide and from 15 to 21 feet in length. They are in full color with scenic background. He hangs then1 on a large easel and uses no hook or nails to mar wood work in the churches. The Lord has been bles ing his ministry. We have known Brother Muller for quite a few year s. vVe too, recommend him to our churches. Any "',.ho care to contact him for meetings, might do so by addres ing· their correspond– ence to Rev. Earl P. Muller, P.O. Box o. 108, Fredonia, ew York 14063. THE OHIO INDEPENDENT BAPTIST
