WALTERS MAKES
GREAT EFFORT
LAST NIGHTS MEETING THE
GREATEST EVER KNOWN IN
FARGo-cHuRcH FILLEDEARLY
FROM FRONT TO REAR--eREAT-
EST CROWD OF SERIES,

With a church packed full of inter-
ested humanity last night, Rev. j. M.
Walters made another wonderful adj
dress in the union revival services. In
the face of cold and snow congrega-
ton of people turned out for the meet
ing that eclipsed any previous record,
even the big crowd of Sunday even
ing did not approach last evenings
attendance.
Fargo is shaken as never before by
religious sentiment Hundreds were
present last evening who have not be-
fore attended the meetings. great
wave is sweeping over the community
which will engulf the people in things
religious and bring out of these meet
ings results which the projectors did
not dare to hope for Everybody is on
the qui vive and the attendance is lit
tie short Of marvellous.
Audience an inspiration.
The inspiration of a tremendous
audience was upon the speaker; the
effect of unusually good music helped
in the interest. Miss Beckman sang
most sweetly, the mixed quartette rem
dered a good number and the Dakota
conservatory orchestra, under the di-
rection of Professor Bohlin, rendered
able assistance. The great chorus, by
far the largest of the series, was ably
directed by Mr. Dodsley.
Reverend Walters took for his sub
ject incidents from the life Of the
young King Josiah, the Israelitish king,
who, ascending the throne at the age
of 16, led his people to the worship
of the true God The illustrations used
We're most timely; the application of
the sermon most apparent and with an
audience made up so largely of young
people he presented an object lesson
in the life of the young king which
sank deeply into the hearts of the
young men and women present
And not alone to the young was the
message addressed. Mr.. Walters gave
kind advice to fathers and mothers of
families
MIR. Walters closed his beautiful SER
mon with an appeal to the younga to
stand up and stand out for God at a
time when ambition and the spirit of
bravery was pregnant; to do the brave
and right thing at a time in life when
God needed them as we'll as the time
when they need God, He made a deep
impression and after the final appeal
by Mr. Peterson, a number signified
their intention of taking the step that
had so plainly been laid down as the
right one to take.
As on Wednesday evening great
overflow after meeting was held in the
lecture room.
