JAMES ADDRESSES MEN
ONLY TOMORROW

Closing service tomorrow nirht.
The greatest single victory IN the
James Evangclistic Campaign came
last night when almost every one in
the delegation Of 300 Bismarck high
school students and faculty members,
and another delegation from the In
diam school, went ON record for God
before tremendous audience of
more than 5000 that jaMmcd the
big tabernacle and crowded around
, the do"iWayS outside.
"li"w man. Of yea surrender Your
hearts and lives to God. take your
stand on the side Of right and take
Jesus 'hrlSt rs your personal SAY
Tor ~ drnuudrd the celebrated preach-
er ut tie close of 4 convincing,
thought-provoklng sermon; and i'm
mcdiately the two big delegations
were on their feet. And they were in
earnest. Intelligent young faces
with determination and serious pur-
pose IN every feature, they quite
evidently meant what they said. And
the hIg audience burst into prolonged
applause Of their splendid action.
While tn" converts remained stand
ing, Mr.. James asked for others Of
the audience who wished to take the
same stand to Il" 50: and scores of
penitcntS all over the tabernacle re-
Sponded. Turning to the pastors be-
hind him, Mr.. James said: "What can
| do. The aiSleS are blocked the
prayer room is overlooking thcr re y
no room down here for them" so it
was impossible for the more than
three hundred who responded, to
come down to the platform, as is Gus

ness. Bismarck will never be the
same again.
Plenty of Pep
All the pep in North Dakota seem
ed concentrated in the big Bismarck
High delegation, especially when
cheer leader Grant Knowles, with all
the technique Of Harvard yell ex-
pert, led the sub-collegians through
vocifcrous series of jazzy Wells.
Then they sang-and such singing,
Prof. Leon SorIein, musical director,
accompanied and directed the stu
dents in "A poppy group of songs, the
favOrites Of which were the compost
tions of Prof. Sorlein and Myers
Percy, one of the students. The
monotOnous flight EN-" of the Sor-
lein song struck the big crowds
fancy; they demanded repetition
and got it. The storms of applause
from the audience were frequent and
long; they were evidently hugely en-
ioying the high school idea of en-
| thusiasm. 1--WE Want Brown" yell
! ed the budding savants, repeatedly;
and Prof. Brown was compelled to
make short speech.
Then Prof. Dickinson, head Of the
Indian school, made short speech,
after which three long rows Of In
dian girls stood before the big crowd
and sang several attractive numbers
which were royalty received by the
delighted listeners.
Rev. Paul Wright announced that
the ladies' thank offering for Evan
gelist Harry James will be given at
tonight's service. An Offering will
be received at tomorrow afternoon IS
great mems service, for Mr.. James
Rev. Wright urged a united and gen
erous response. He highly praised
Mr.. James and his great work, and
stated that regardless Of how much
Bismarck presents to the famous even
gelist, money cannot pay for the in
| estirable spiritual and moral good
that has been accomplished in the
campaign. Lets make Mr.. James
know by your offering that we APP
preciate what he's done for Bis
marck," the pastor urged. One-half
of last nights offering was presented
by Mr.. James: with sincere words of
appreciation of her consecrated ser
] vices, to accompanist Mrs. Genevleve
Menard- Hughes. The other halt of
the offering was given to the Saliva
ton Army.
