...Worry!" Brother J. Charles Jessup of Gulfport, Miss., specializes in high-pitched nasal prayer for whatever his listeners suggest, and he prides himself on his gift: "The angel appeared unto me in a dream and commissioned me to give myself to prayer.'' He also has a gift for extracting folding money from his slack-jawed listeners: "Friends, is it not right that I should ask you to help support our work? You don't owe us anything. You write me whether you've got any money or not to send. But if you have something that...
What scklockministers make is a secret they do not share. Neither Thompson nor Jessup lives with much ostentation, though they drive big. new cars. Jessup gets about 300 letters a day with contributions that he says average less than $1, spends $6.000 a month for radio time.

Columbia University's Professor Philip Jessup believes that the only practical solution is for the U.S. and its allies to declare "a state of intermediacy"-something between war and peace-and lay down laws to regulate it, just as there are separate laws for war and peace...
...Seeing "I." The 15 short stories are almost entirely in the first person. Anderson's "I" can be any member of the Jessup family, around which most of the stories are woven, or any of their friends, and there are moments of confusion, when it is difficult to be sure just who is who. Yet the device gives full play to Anderson's strongest talent: his grasp of the speech rhythm and idiom of his people. More clearly than in much fiction, it is in the telling that the truth of the tale emerges...
