THIS BRAND NEW FRANKLIN SEDAN RevTLNorris Who Killed“ Man Has Had Fighting Career in Fort Worth His Life Story Reveals He Is Son Of Drunken Father and Has Become Southwest’s Most Famous Evan- gelist—Congregation Once Split Apart By His Fer- vor and Church Burned. FORT WORTH. Texas—You may say what you will about the Rev. Dr. J. Frank Norris. the southwest's most famous evangelist. But you must admit that he isn‘t afraid of a fight. Just now Dr. Norris is at liberty on 810.000 bond for shooting and killing one D. E. Chipps. a. wealthy man who had called at his miniat- erisl study to remonstrate with the pastor for the l tter's attacks on Chipps' close fr end. Mayor‘ui. C. 'hieacham. , The three bullets that Dr. Norris sent into Chipps'- body after Chippe. according to the pastor. had threat- ened to kill him. marked the climax of an active career that has been one long fight from the ve y begin- ning. Son of a Drunkard Born in Alabama. the son of a drunken father whom Norris. as a boy. often had to pilot home from COflVhII bar rooms. Dr. Norris has bot-u a rTexsn since the age of 1:. As a young man he stopped three bullets from cattle ruetiers' guns while range riding. Then. quitting the range to prepare for the minist- ry at Baylor university and the Southern Baptist uniwraity. he plunged into an active life of exhor~ tation and combat. At his first pastorate. the McKin- ney Avenue Baptist church at Dal- las. Dr. Norris inaugurated a war on race tracks that finally resulted in a state law providing a. penitentiary sentence for betting on races. This was after a woman in his congrega- tion had told him how her son had come to ruin through gambling on the horses. It was in 1009 that Dr. Norris was called to his present church. the First Baptist church of Fort Worth. So fiery and unsparing were his pul- pii denunciations of what be con- sidered the shortcomings of some of his parishioners that the congrega- tion was split wide open. and a struggle began that culminated in the destruction of the church by fire. Dr. Norris was indicted for‘ncn. but gained acquittal and revealed his fight. At one time a group of citizens called on him and gave him ten days to leave‘the city. but he i l i l l l l l 3 By the Rowayton Hose Comp wm BE Franklin Was Chosen ~ because IT IS THE ONE FINE CAR which can be maintained and operated as economically as the least expensrve car on the market, making it possible for a person in mod- erate circumstances to enjoy its use beautiful prize. - - Tickets for the drawing, which will be held the last hi hi; of the carnrval, on the grounds, may be obtained from any memIie Rowayton Hose Company, or from osNonoa IrFranIrlin Co. 95 ‘WALL' ST., NORWALK PHONE 1831 * any at their annual Carnival, July 24th to slot. . , should such aperson win this rat the nsv. on. ._1. mass sonata. tori-leaded himself in his home. not a. sawed-off shot gun. and defied 11 em. A little later a gangster shot 'll him as he sat/in his study. the bullet burying itself in the wall close to his head. Again. a friend struck a revolver fro mthe hand of an as- sailant- just in time to sue Dr. Nor. ris' life. After a. few years of such tempes- tuous combat Dr. Norris found him- self firmly established. His congre- gation. with' more than 7,000 mem- bers. became one of the largest. if not the largest. in the world. A new church was built, its value estimated at upwards of a million dollars. He built up a Sunday School of 7.200 members. A choir of 600 voices sings in his church. A militant Fundamentalist, Dr. Norris is credited with having caus- ed the expulsion of more than a half dozen teachers from various state institutions because they were too fond of the theory of evolution. l-‘iappers. the dance and cigarets are other targets of his wrath. and he maintains a never-ceasing fire on them. ' trgni Censorship Sprnl'inr in New York four years ago. he duf‘IaiCu that the utter de- struction of the "modern Babylon" was foretold in the Bible and bitter- ly cxcoriaicd the customs of that city. He urged a law that would Censor the stage "from A to Z": a :aw pl‘OhiIVIll 1..- anyone from danc- Ing with anyone but his wife; a law prohibiting women smoking; a law regulsiLng women's dress. and de- clared he would abolish “long haired men and short haired women." Such has been the career of Dr. ameninlist campaigner now that W. J. Bryan is dead. Because of the many throats on his life he has ar- ways kept a revolver handy. and has been dubbed 'the two-gun pastor!" Three ‘More Norwalk Boys Can Sign Up With C.M.T.C.
