...business of professional evangelists has fallen off to such an extent that they now average only $3,000 a year. So, last week, reported the Rev. Charles Stelzle, onetime printing press machinist, long an investigator of sociological and religious problems, now a publicist. He had queried 100 leading evangelists on their business. Thirty had quit because they no longer could make a living in the profession...
