A New Church for Menasha


May 30, 1965, Appleton Post-Crescent
We've met Reverend Clinton before, notably in my book and in this blog post, among others:   https://menashabook.blogspot.com/2013/06/first-congregationalist-church.html. I find it a bit humorous how, without any church facilities, he would accept whatever he could arrange as a venue to preach, even if it meant using a saloon and keeping the thirsty customers waiting.   It must have been a testament to his dynamic personality, in such a rough and tumble era, to convince saloonkeepers to put aside their liquor sales for even a short time, while allowing their customers to get an unintended sermon.
