“I knew that in his day A.C. Good was a whirlwind of a speaker. He was a real orator....He came and he asked Brother John C. Birky whether he could extend an invitation at the end of the sermon that night. That was pretty unusual in those days. Brother Birky never answered you offhand; he always considered it. He paused a little and said, ‘Yes, if you don’t make it too strong.’” [4]
