There she suddenly felt a call to rise from her wheel chair, march up to the platform and sing He Lifted Me. Cured, she felt free to marry Walter Otis Ulrey, a stocky young businessman, who willingly renounced his worldly goods and ways, donned a Volunteer uniform, took to sermonizing on Indianapolis street corners with his wife as his singing partner. From Indianapolis the Ulreys marched on Louisville, where they remained for five years, became Volunteer ''majors," broadcasting occasionally from the Louisville County...
...Chicago religious editors purposely performed marvels of Pharisaical reporting. They made much of their conclusion that "Red" literature was for sale at the meeting. Rev.

Author Peters writes at a loose canter, half businessman style, half hobbledygee, on the differences between English and U. S. hunting, kennel management, riding, cubbing, manners et al., helps fill his book by generous quotations, hunting songs, a nostalgic chapter on hunting with the Quorn, the Pytchley, other famed English hunts.
