Girl Evangelist
Begins Conversion
All New York City

New York, June 14.-tP1-A 14-year-
old girl with an ambition to convert
all New York to what she terms "old
fashioned religion" has begun her
campaign from the pulpit of Calvary
Baptist church.
Uldine Mabelle Utley. born in Okla
homa in 1912, who until two years ago
occupied herself with dreams of mo-
ton picture stardom. yesterday deliv-
cred a two-hour plea for converts to
Christianity from the pulpit usually
filled by DR.. John Roach Straton, one
of the most famous divines Of the
country. At the end of her sermon
men and women prayed IN the aisles
of the church and the few who failed
to arise at the young woman's plea
were exhorted again and again until
only about six remained seated.
DR.. Straton introduced the girl as
the Joan of Arc of the modern re-
ligious world" and announced plans
for a city-wide revival compaign she
is to conduct in the fall.
Miss Utley. whose father and mother
travel with her on her religious cam
paigns, began her career as an evan
gelist at Fresno, Cal, two years ago,
where she was converted.
