MR.. WORK

Mr.. Crittenton has decided to hold all
! the evening meetings in the NJ. T.. church,
and all the afternoon meetings in the
| Presbyterian church. Last night was a
very successful meeting in the NJ. =.
church. The ministers present were Rev.
| Tonse Of Butte, Revs. Clelland, Euster,
Jenkins and Cederberg Of Anaconda. The
two solos sung by Mrs. Moffat were very
fine and touching. Many of the business
! and professional men of the city were IN
i the fine congregation that 10
! hear the EVANGELIST and the singing. MT.
C%rittenton was in good spirits ana the
! service was very successful. over 20O
people came forward to shake hands with
the ministers and to promise nat they
would live better lives. Some knelt at the
altar for prayer and the meeting dld not
break up until half past ten O'CLOCK. NIT.
Crittenton is in earnest n he is so anX-
! ious that ali shall be helped that he does
rot leave a stone unturned in the work.
The various thoughts expressed and liius-
trations used in relation to the theme
+! which was Love- made a deep impress
sion upon the audience that gathered TO
! hear him. Many times during the sermon
people were seen wiping tears from their
! eyes. The local ministers are very p
! because Of the prospect of good to be ac-
oS -
been signed by seekers and those VINO
! have decided to follow Christ and these
| are about evenly distributed among the
| various churches.
The following resolution was read IN
the meeting last night by Rev. Tonge OF
Butte:
1--WE. the members of the Butte Minis
terial union and pastors Of the various
churches, do hereby cheerfully and vol
unfairly, and without solicitation, de-
clare our unbounded confidence IN the
work of Mr.. c. n. Crittenton, the "mer-
chant evangelist"
I'VE also do hereby promise o that
we will ever hold you in most Affection
ate remembrance. and that at all times
we will most faithfully bear YOU Up at
the Throne Of Grace praying that your
life may long be spared to continue and
prosecute this grand and glorious work,
and that your Christian experience may
ever and ever grow brighter with the
conviction and ever abiding presence of
the Living God.
w do sincerely hope and trust that
the hearts of the pastor. and congrega-
ions may burn within them as our hearts
have burned within us while you have
talked with us by the way, that in every
meeting the sinner may be convinced of
the error of his way.
I'VE have enjoyed these ten days with
you and do testify that we have been
drawn nearer to the Master. We would
not forget to declare how we rave been
helped. and enjoyed the Sweet Gospel
Songs as sung to us by Mrs. M. Moffat.
and we know for a fact that the songs
nave been made the instrument of OPEN
ing the way for the Gospel Of the Blessed
God
I'VE take great pleasure in declaring
ourselves your comrades in this holy war,
and this day we do commission our
brother, Rev. Frederick Tonge, to place
this testimonial in your hands.
