As a matter of fact in 1946
The National Association of Evangelicals
Published an article on men who were best used by God
In that organization’s five years existence
The article highlighted the ministry of chuck Templeton
Billy Graham was never mentioned
Templeton many felt would be next Babe Ruth of evangelisms
Bron Clifford was yet
Another gifted twenty fire year old fire ball
In 1945 many believed Clifford
The most gifted and powerful preacher
The church had seen in centuries
In that same year
Clifford preached to an auditorium of thousands in Miami, Florida
People lined up ten and twelve deep outside the auditorium
Trying to get in, later the same year when Clifford was preaching
In the chapel at Baylor University the president ordered class bells turn off
So that the young man could minister without interruption
For two hours fifteen minutes he kept those students on the edge of their seats
As he preached on the subject “Christ and the Philosopher’s Stone”
At the age of twenty five
Young Clifford touched more lives
Any other clergyman his age in America history
National leaders vied for his attention
He was tall handsome, intelligent and eloquent
Hollywood invited him
To audition for the part of Marcellus in the “The Rope”
It seemed as if he had everything
