The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1911-01-26

opened the book OF his own memory
stored with many bright and beautiful
pages on which was written the lives
Of those who had served God and their
Fellow men, but oh! the pathos, the
misery, the sorrow, the unutterab!e
woe OF the other pages in which be
cause he had come I'm contact with the
thing itself he had been obliged to
write the lives and acts-the remorse
and the unending torment OF those
who had refused to see that the beauty
or life and Of death are all comprised
In the simple message, Come unto usl''
TO attempt to give a verbatim re-
port of the sermon-its effect--its
grandeur-is futile. Those who were
present viii always remember the
power Of the sermon--its appeal to the
better element in manlSind--fts results
as demonstrated in the tears OF peni-
tent sinners-the renewed resolutions
OF processing christians TO do more
and better work for the Master. At
the close there were few dry eyes in
the audience and after the appeal by
Mr.. Peterson when the after meeting
was announced to be held in the lee
ture room, there were NOT enough
seats in that large part of the church
to hold those who crowded i'm to take
part in one of the most spontaneous
ana realistic old fashioned testimonial
meetings ever held in a Fargo church.
ihose who were not present cannot
comprehend the tremendous hold these
meetings are getting upon the people
Of Fargo. Night after night the church
is more crowded--day after day. more
evidences of a remarkable revival of
religion are apparent; no power on
earth can now stop the onward sweep
OF great religious upheaval-one that

of the evil one in Fargo.
Special Services for Young.
Tonight there will be a great spe-
cial service for young people as today
Is day OF prayer in every christian
colege IN the land. To appropriately
celebrate this day of prayer, a monster
meeting of young men and women will
gather and listen to another of Mr..
Walters's sermons. His subject for to-
night will be A Heroic Life, and with
the inspiration of last nights wonder
full meeting and the vast concourse
that will greet him tonight he will I'M
doubtediy Guido all of his previous eff
forts, great and powerful as they have
been.
A male quartette, a trained chorus
of over fifty voices, solos by Miss
Beckman of Fargo. Conservatory and a
large orchestra from Dakota Conser-
vatory, under the direction of Prof.
Bohlin, will be the musical feature for
tonight, AS usual Mr.. Dodsley will
direct the chorus and Mrs. Dodsley
VIII be at the organ. Fargo has never
seen such meeting as is promised for
tonight.
Non-church goers are beginning to
come out of their shells and get into
the meetings. This is to be desired
because of the majority of church
members are getting down to hard pan
and out of the way of the sinner-hell
get a chance now. There are none of
high pressure frenzy methods-every-
thing is done in a manner that is fit
ting to the object in view. but the man
or woman who is late tonight will have
little chance of croWding into the
meeting for the house will be filled
early.
