Greetings,

Your great great grandfather was certainly a dynamic man. You write that the
records of the Church of the Christian Brotherhood were donated to the
Ontario archives - does this mean that the church no longer exists? Are any
of RC Evan's descendants affiliated with the RLDS church? (Have I asked
enough questions in my first paragraph?)

Growing up in the Independence area I heard a few "old timers" speak of "RC"
as the RLDS Billy Graham. I have read all four of his books and would be
interested in reading your work when it is completed.Thank-you for attaching
the old LDS book with your email.

Would you allow me to post your email at my website - others that wander
through may interested to learn of the availability of the church's records
at the Ontario archives and the insight they give into the post-RLDS life of
RC Evans?

I will forward the two articles at my first opportunity - can you send me a
postal address?

Best wishes, Scott

> Dear Scott, your offer for help on looking into the life of RC Evans is
pleasing. I am particularly interested in the two articles (`Boy Orator` and
`His Reward is Sure`). I must applaud you on your site. It is a big area
to cover. As one of his great, great grandchildren I have been passed down
his daughters copies of his 4 books. Namely, his autobiography, his book of
sermons, his book of correspondence and finally his why I am not a mormon.
I have also been looking into his genealogical roots, his religious
background and the legacy he left when he formed his own church here in
Toronto.

for the Toronto branch.

of the Christian Brotherhood were donated to the Ontario Archives and they
have provided invaluable insight to his later years.
