cRooKsToN COMMITTEE
Was Here Thursday in En-
deavor to Secure Services
of the Evangelists.
(By the Committee.)

(By the Commlttee.)
The evangelists have been keeping
the rails pretty hot between here and
Grafton for the last twenty-four hours.
Mr.. Hunt and Mr. Myrland returned
from Grafton yesterday noon while
Mr.. Davidson and Mr.. Isaacs went up
there for the evening service. All
Grafton is interested in the move
ment. and large number of people
We're converted at the Wednesday
night meeting. A committee from
Crcokston consisting of Mr.. Wright
of Wright Ruggles E. Co., and Rev.
c. c. Markham spent yesterday in the
city spying out the land" The peo-
pie of Crookston want what Grand
Forks has secured, and they are max
ing arrangements to back the move
ment with adequate financial means,
and to build tabernacle. Workers
are assembling to assist in carrying
out the large plans which the work
here has thrust upon Mr.. Hunt. Rev.
Frank G. Wilcox, of Tabor, Iowa, who
has been with the lawyer evangelist
in several campaigns before this ar
rived in the city last evening. Rev.
John P. Engstrom, who has been an
assistant of DR.. Chapman's will ar
rive today. He Speaks Swedish fluent
ly and is man of great power.
Where these workers will be assigned
has not yet been determined. Rev.
E. L. Myrland went to Wahpeton yes
terday and held a service which was
planned for by DR.. Brauer of the
Lutheran Seminary of that place.
AS consequence of the coming and
going of so many workers, the noon.
day meeting yesterday at the taber-
nacle was very informal affair. Rev.
F. E. r. Miller conducted the service,
and spoke briefly from the sixteenth
chopter of Acts. The incident of Paul
and Silas in Jail at Phillippi the cause
for their being thrust into Jail, was
that Paul cast a great demon out of
a young woman whose mediumistic
tricks brought her masters great gain,
when they say themselves deprived
of profit, they had these men arrested.
AS sure as you are born said the
speaker, when We attact the vested in
terests of evil, we shall meet with
the same hostility. These services
have already awakened that kind of
resentment, and we can expect more,
as the fight gets hotter. At midnight
Paul and Silas sang hymns, and pray
ed to God. They did this as a spon-
taneous outpouring of souls in full
harmony with God. 1t is the dark hour
and the trying circumstance that
brings out the true nature of the
christian. Then there came an earth
quake, and If moral earthquake is
now about due in Grand Forks, the
Lord have mercy upon our cold and
pharasiac self satisfaction. A large
number of folks took part in christian
testimony, Mr.. and Mrs. Barcafer led
in the singing. Themselves render
ing by request their beautiful duet en-
titled "Oh, l Am So Happy in Him."
The Bible reading and expository
study by Mr.. Isaacs at p. m. was
exceedingly helpful, and the Sunbeam
meeting was as usual a most stimu-
lating service.
The house was crowded for the even
ing service, and Mr.. Barcafer led the
chorus in the singing of several songs,
notable among them the Welsh piece
what Did He Do" The chorus effect
where the soprano and contraltos al
ternate with the base and tenors in
singing the theme, was carried out
with striking effect by the boys and
girls Of the Sunbeam chorus that
were present. Mr.. Barcafer speaks
very highly Of the choral work, and
says that Mr.. TORY had none better
and not so large in Atlanta, Ca, last
May. Mr.. Hunt is especially pleased
with the singing Of the children and
says it is we'll worth coming miles
to hear.
Early in the evening service Mr.. and
Barcafer sang a duet entitled 1.-THE
World is Dying For a Little Bit of
Love-" 1t was very sweetly rendered,
especially after the story of it's in
spiration had been told. Mr.. Hunt
took for his theme almost Per-
suaded," the incident of Paul before
Felix, in the twenty-fourth chapter of
