L. L. Pickett [1859-1928] founded the Pentecostal Publishing Company, one of the most influential publishing companies in the holiness movement. He was also a prominent holiness evangelist in the South. He is best known for the 1896 debate between himself and M. A. Smith in Terrel, Texas, in which they debated the proposition: "The Scriptures teach that entire sanctification is a work of cleansing wrought in the soul subsequent to regeneration." Picket opens this 1907 address by introducing himself as as candidate for the Governor of Kentucky on the Prohibition ticket.
