He never penned an article for either the Gospel Advocate or Firm Foundation (then the two leading periodicals of the church). It is true that he did some preaching for the church.← Previous edit | Revision as of 03:46, 13 January 2023 edit undoJohnnyBflat (talk | contribs)Extended confirmed users7,082 edits The source confirms he was part-time so let's use that.
