DR.. Brown is one of the most prom
inent evangellsts DIN the United States
as well as one OF the oldest in point of
service. He is Scotchman by descent
and proud of an ancestry which con-
tains a long hist of fighters famous in
history. DR.. Brown has all the SOL
diers' instincts, but he has confined
them to Christian warfare except for a
period of four years when he followed
the fortunes of the famous Sixth corps
in the battles OF the Army of the Po-
tomac. For 3S years he has been
preaching the gospel, and for 26 years
he has been engaged in the evangelistic
work. Dwight Moody was a clerk in a
Chicago shoe store when he used to at
tend and assist in DR.. Browns meet
ings in that city. They worked to-
gether in the camps of the soldiers dur
ing the war; and ofttimes Of later years
DIR. Brown has been trusted lieuten-
ant of the more celebrated man, DR.
Moody.
Montana is fortunate in securing
the services of DR.. Brown, who was
wanted in New York and Philadelphia,
but owing to an affection of the throat
he came to Montana, hoping that the
dry air would give him relief and posi-
bly, cure the trouble.
All of the churches of this city are ito
join In holding union services, the first
of which will be at the Christian
church tonight at 1880 o'clock. The at
tendance will undoubtedly be large,
and the congregation deeply interested
by the words of DR.. Brown, who is a
practical man and a preacher with
power and ability to impress his
hearers.
