Religiously Beautiful Was the
Final Meeting.
PATHETIC STORIES TOLD

Live Upright Lives - A Hearty.

the Immense Audience

Impressive and religiously beautiful
was the finale of the 10 days meeting
of the evangelists last night at the Au-
/ ditorium. The famous expounder Of
the gospel spoke with renewed vigor
and JUNCTION to vast assemblage, and
{ touching and pathetic were the stories
he told He implored all those present
to live upright lives, to shun evil and
walk in the straight and narrow path.
The singing was more beautiful than
any heard durinp the series of meet
ings and probably no audience ever be-
fore in Butte sang Nearer, My God,
to Thee with the emphasis and feeling
that were shown when last nights au-
/. dience rose to sing the words of that
popular hymn.
At the conclusion of the services
nearly every one in the hall fell into
single file and marched past the plat
form, in front Of which Mr. Crittenton.
Mr. and Mrs. Moffat and the city clergy
stood. 1t was hearty handwriting
farewell to the evangelists. 1t was
an impressive scene. Mr.. Crittenton
and Mrs. Moffat stood in the center of
the group and their striking resem-
blance to Grover and Mrs. Cleveland
recalled to the minds of many the no
table receptions in the white house a
few years ago. Mrs. Moffat, as we'll
as the noted evangelist, had a kind
word for every one whose hand she
shook Particularly warm were the
4 grasps of her fellow sisters. The men,
bers of the choir We're the last to say
farewell. During the meeting a warm
friendship has grown between the choir
and Mr.. Crittenton and Mrs. Moffat
