Are you admitting that you spoke about Hubert based upon something you read on the internet, not based upon your personal experience with him? I thought maybe you knew Hubert in your past. Please clarify. John S. wrote: > If he was acceptable to Catholics as a street preacher. > well, that is more than unusual.

At first he was a tent revivalist, and later he turned to campus preaching. In any case, are street preachers really ever accepted by anybody? Hubert's shoe-in with some of the popular people like Bill Bright, Billy Graham, Ronald Reagan and the Pope was his boldness to break up communist demonstrations in the name of Christ. They recognized his involvement with the Jesus People revival, but I don't think they really understood it. If you understand how politics works, it is real easy to understand how they would honor Hubert at a certain time in history, then forget about him the next year. Well... except maybe Bill Bright... Hubert told me that they remained buddies for many years.

Some men and women have established ministries and financial empires that leave a legacy. Hubert preached with some of these men and women, such as Billy Sunday, Mordecai Ham, Bill Bright, Billy Graham, Kathryn Khulman etc. However, Hubert himself lived penniless. He never even learned to drive! He was like a homeless man who lived from nickel to nickel. Elsman can probably tell us more about this than me. Hubert was truly one of a kind. It seems like God broke the mold after he made Hubert. Some more trivia: Hubert won a freckle faced contest as a child and was cast as Alphalfa in "The Little Rascals." Some homework maybe for Lance: Hubert told me that he published a memory course back in the 1930's, but I have never been able to find it. I would be very interested in it if you have a way to locate it. Peace be with you.
