THE EvANaEI1sT1c CAMPAIGN.
s. (By Press Committee)
Little Falls is swinging into what is
perhaps the greatest religious move
ment she has ever known. The five
evangelical churches that have united
with Mr.. Valiant and his party are get
ting under the work in a most crafty
ing manner. The opening service was
held in the Congregational church on
Sunday morning Rev. Gregory in his
introduction of the evangelist spoke in
the highest terms Of a work such as
Mr.. Valiant has come to this city to
perform. There were four reasons, he
said, why he approved Of such cam
paign, 1st, its bringing Of the churches
together in united effort for the bet
terment Of this community; I'd, that it
may lead to the winning Of men and
women and young people to the cause
Of Christ; Sd, for the Strengthening Of
Christian character and the quickening
of church MEMBERS; 4th, for the
Strengthening of the churches. That
Mr.. Valiant was capable and especially
fitted for the leadership Of such a
work he had no doubt whatever.
The. Valiant party come we'll recon-
mended to Little Falls and the good
work done by them during this season
in North Dakota, cannot be estimated
in it's far reaching results.
Mr.. Valiant is called tho Pastor
Evangelist, having given up large
passionate in answer to the oft repeated
call to enter the evangelistic field. His
manner of presenting the gospel OF
Jesus Christ is simple, direct and force
full. His method of conducting a re-
ligious campaign is safe and sane and
while not being a sensationalist he is
absolutely fearless in his treatment
Of sin and it's effects.
Music being one of the great factors
of present day revivals, Mr.. Valiant
boo spared no mains in selecting his
helpers, and altogether they are band
Mr.. VIM. H. Bartz, musical director, is
graduate Of Moody Bible institute,
Chicago, is the possessor Of a tenor
voice and is director Of ability, and
the young people who are availing
themselves Of the opportunity Of sing
ing under his direction arc doing some
splendid chorus work. Mrs. H. E.
Huntley, who assists Mr.. Valiant in
general and has charge of the women s
work has been associated with evange-
lists of note in her Christian work. She
has soprano voice of fine quality and
range. Miss Lydia T. Huntley, pianist
and young women's worker, is a young
lady of personal charm, and her talent
as a musician is exceptional, She has
studied in the Boston conservatory Of
music and has rich, deep contralto
voice, that never fails to win her
hearers.
Mrs. Valiant also accompanies her
husband and is an efficient worker
with an earnest Christian character
and winning personality, and is a
woman who puts her husbands work
and interest first in her life. Mr..
Valiant (baritonc), Mr.. Bartz, Mrs.
and Miss Hutley, comprise quartet
that under the gospel message in song
most effectively.
There will be week night meetings
in the Methodist churcn every eve
ming, except Monday, at 1880 O'Clock,
and on Sunday all the churches unite
in the Congregational church.
A special feature Of the Sunday
meetings will be Mr.. Valiant's address
on the subject, IA Matrimonial Blu
reau,'' in which both married and I'M
married should be interested, as Mr..
Valiant presents the opinion Of prom
inent men and women of the day as to
what constitutes an ideal husband or
wife. There will be special music by
the members Of the party and the large
chorus choir, at all services. All that
Mr.. Valiant and his party ask is the
hearty cooperation Of the people who
wish to see this town take a stand lor
! righteousness and all are invited to
help make this evangelistic movement
| the largest possible success.
