B
SINATRA OF THE PULPIT
By James Cooper
CALGARY, Alberta,
IBLE-LOVER Ernest Charles Manning, the
B40-year-old Premier of Alberta and the youngest Premier in the Commonwealth, enlarged his own empire recently when, over Calgary radio station CFON, he broadcast his weekly sermon for the Prophetic Biblo Institute.
In the Ove-and-a-half years he has been Promier his Bible Interpretations to 800 worshippers in the red brick and stucco instituto have become top listening for 250,000 listeners in the prairie provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan (an area as big as Britain, France, and Germany together).
The difference in this last broadcast was that recordings were made of the strong, resonant voice ut. the slim, fist. 121b. evangelist, whose corn-coloured hair strays over his high forehead and rimless glasses.
These recordings, for rebroadcast, will go 1,000 miles west over the Rockles to Vancouver, British Columbia, east to Regina, Saskatchewan, and anally to Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Soon what is known as Canada's Bible Belt, "of black earth and white hearts," may stretch across half a continent.
And Canadian politicians are wondering if politics, according to the gospel of Manning, will sweep through other provinces as they have through Alberta.
Ex-farmer's boy Manning may put preaching before politics, may deny that he is a politician, but he heads Alberta's Social Credit Government.
