Glimpses of Winona Heritage, No. 1

This clipping comes from The Continental, a Progressive Era magazine that catered to popular interdenominational religion, pithy news commentary, and inspirational stories. Between stories, the magazine was chock full of advertisements for colleges and seminaries, religious gatherings, conference events, and Victorian consumer goods. It was, therefore, a prime place to advertise Winona’s diverse events and speakers. This snippet, from September 18, 1913 announces a new initiative from Dr. Solomon Dickey, owner of the Winona Bible Conference, which would take the Winona experience on the road during the winter months. Spotlighting various English churchmen, the traveling Bible conferences visited major cities throughout the nation.
