I always thought the world of Dr. Paulson. I was reading a book in church once called "Cowboy boots in darkest Africa". It was a book written by Bill Rice about a trip he made to Africa in the early 1950's to hold revival services with missionaries there. Typically, in the book, everywhere he went there were thousands and thousand of people saved. Dr. Paulson asked me how I liked the book etc. and we talked back and forth. He said, "Just keep in mind; if it is that easy then why do people go and spend an entire lifetime certain places in Africa and struggle just to build and maintain a small work?" He then told me not to believe everything I read or heard. Good advice!
I not defending or denying John Rice's account but remember such trips are almost always planned to target to the easier areas. They usually visit missionaries with very established works and broad influence.Highly publicized evangelistic campaigns are not usually held with remote tribes or among groups who are very cold and indifferent (hostile) to the gospel.BALAAM said:

I never had a class from him and I regret that. He never preached in chapel that I remember, and that mystifies me. Well, not really. It is just another indication of our weakness in exalting flashy young men at the expense of quiet old men. [Yes, that is yet another chapter in my new book.] But I digress... I heard Bro. Paulson preach one time. Bro. Owens asked him to come and preach for the Bible Club workers' meeting one summer Saturday when he was gone. The crowd was small. I was sitting in the back b/c I was an usher. Bro. Paulson got about 15 minutes into his sermon when he suddenly said, "You all don't want to hear what I have to say this morning." And he abruptly closed his Bible and walked out the door.
Whoa. I've never forgotten that. Perhaps I'm being overly dramatic here but I've often wondered what he was going to say in that sermon that I needed that I never got b/c somehow I (and the others) communicated disinterest. In hindsight, what he did was a wonderful lesson. He taught me to cherish my opportunities to hear preaching, and to work at communicating my desire and interest to the preacher. And in a very real way that changed my life.

I recall Bro. Paulson's preaching on HAC chapel more than once on the years I was a student.
I loved his preaching.
However, the truth of flashy, good story-telling, exciting, wind-sucking, popularity-driven choice of speakers is evident still today.
The older I get, the more I appreciate men (and women) such a Dr. Paulson.
HAC lost a gem when he passed away.
