Truth Triumphant

“Know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free.”

John 8:32

The year the American Civil War began, Catherine Harriet Libby arrived on Earth. She taught public school in Michigan at the age of 16. The Gospel changed her and her sister Annie’s lives early in the 20th century.

Early in the 20^th century, Pastor Angelbarger, of Denver’s York Street Church,
launched a series of Bible study meetings to attract new members.
His effort seemed to “fail.” No one joined—until 3-years later.
The Pastor is shown here, circa 1910, with at least three, new young members,
who joined the church resulting from the “failed” series of Bible meetings.

Bible study on the frontier

Long before radio and TV, dedicated Christian “colporteurs” trudged dusty frontier roads, sharing the gospel with homesteaders by placing in their homes a copy of Bible Readings for the Home Circle. This landmark text consisted of one hundred and sixty-two readings for public and private study with Bible answers to over twenty-eight hundred religious topics contributed by scores of Bible students.
