Hollands brings message of 'From Prison to Praise' Ernie Hollands, ex -convict, has told his "From Prison to Praise„ story to literally millions of people through his books, tapes, on televi- sion and at speaking engagements all over the world. Last Tuesday it was Wingham's turn to "hit the big times" as a capacity crowd packed the local Legion Hall to listen to this capti- vatingTo a speak d -o sot crowd of over 200 people at this bi-monthly meeting of "Boys' Night Out", a non- denominational Christian men's group, Mr. Hollands traced his past from his early days in a Halifax reform school at age 12, to a maxi- mum security call at Millhaven prison over 30 years later. In between, Mr. Hollands fought, stole and shot his way through 25 years in the Canadian and Ameri- can penal systems. In fact, his role model during this time was the infamous bank robber John Dillinger. However, there was an abrupt turn -around in his life, thanks to the love of an unknown Christian family whose members visited him once a month for 18 months. When Mr. Hollands told this story last week in Wingham, it was a touch- ing testimony for all present Mr. Hollands was released from prison years before his time, a mira- cle which no one can explain, he told those assembled. He now speaks proudly of his love for God and life, as well as the message he shares with' thousands of -inmates the world over through a series of prison visits. In addition, he speaks to many other groups, such as the group last week in Wmgham. Wingham and area was truly blessed to have Mr. Hollands at Boys' Night Out and those involved report it was a terrific evening. Miracles can happen and Mr Hollands is living proof. est speaker at last Etddies' Night"' at the. Wing - at Gaunt of Wnghani. Mr: lige of salvratioft b over
