vember Is, four persons being present.
Revival meetings were planned by
Rev. Starlkey, shortly after his arrival.

the influence for good on the town was
marked and the church as an institu-
ton was strengthened thereby.

pastor he was man of influence in
Fargo, not only in the church, but
throughout the town, and at adjacent
points. His untiring efforts and fer
vent zeal placed the church upon a
permanent foundation, with opportuni-
ties for rapid advancement, under sub
