Salvation Army evangelism series The Wingham Citadel of the Salvation Army is hosting a series of meetings this week with Maj. James Copper, Salvation Army evangelist for Canada and Bermuda. The meetings will run from Wednesday to Sunday, with nightly meetings on the theme "Deeper Life". There also will be personal evan- gelism seminars held at noon Wednesday through Friday and an all -day seminar on outreach evangelism on Saturday. Born in Twillingate, Newfoundland, Maj. Cooper joined the Salvation Army as a young man. For 12 years he served as a schoolteacher as well as a pastor, and he said the dual task of teaching and preaching helped to prepare him for his later service as an evangelist. The Coopers now make their home in Halifax while he travels as territorial evangelist in the Canada - Bermuda territory.
