BISHOPS CRUSADE FOR
NORTHERN ARIZONA TO
BEGIN HERE ON SUNDAY
Bishop MOuLtOn of Utah and NeUddd and Arch
deacon Porter of Calf Ornia In Charge

The Bishops Crusade, now under
way in all parts of the country, viii
open in Flagstaff on Sunday morn
ing. Reports indicate that in the
great cities of the east and the mid
die west the largest auditoriums and
halls obtainable were unable to hold
the crowds assembled to hear the ma
tional speakers assigned.
The crusaders who come to Flag
staff have been holding services in
Phoenix this week, and the great
cathedral there was filled again and
again. Noon day mass meetings were
held down town under the auspices
Of the Ministerial association, the
various Phoenix pastors presiding in
turn.
The only other point in the state
which these men will visit is Flag
staff. On Sunday morning the cru
sade viii open with the spiritual pre-
paration of the communion service ut
eight q. m. At II o'clock, and again
at 1880 p. m. there will be preaching.
In the morning the speaker will be
Bishop Arthur w. Moulton of Utah
and Nevada. Before coming to the
west, Bishop Moulton was rector of
the church in Lawrence, Mass, and
was noted as one of the most stirring
and forceful pulpit leaders in New
England. In any church assemblage
at which he is present he is apt to be
called on to deliver the principal ad
dress.
Archdeacon Porter is the field man
in the diocese of California, the part
OF that state tributary to San Fran
cisco. He is a rector without par
ish, visiting in turn the many parishes
and missions of his diocese, and is re-
sponsible for founding and building
up many of them. He is known in
his own state and in fact throughout
the west as great leader and friend
Of young people. He will deliver the
sermon in the evening.
The services on Sunday will pre-
pare the way for what is to follow
during the week. Every day from
Monday to Friday inclusive there will
be a meeting at 1880 p. m. at which
one or both of the crusaders will
speak. These addresses will carry on
and complete the message of Sunday
and form parts of complete whole.
Those who can arrange to do so will
attend each evening, to receive all that
these men can give, which cannot be
set forth at one meeting.
Additional to the main service of
the evening, every day there will be
a celebration of the holy communion
at nine a. M, with intercessory pray
er for the success of the crusade. At
two D. m. each day the two crusaders
viii be at the church, to meet anyone
who wishes to- consult them in private
conference. At three p. m. there will
be a public conference in the church,
with discussion and questions to an
swer. Such subjects as bible study,
family prayer, and personal religion
win form the topics. On Monday it
is hoped that one or both of the Wis
itors will be able to address the high
school assembly. From Tuesday to
Friday inclusive, President Grady
Gammage has invited them to speak
to Teachers college assembly at 11:3O
a. m. The public is invited to be
present at such time. The Rotary and
the Hiram program for the coming
week also include the crusaders as
guests.
In addition to the crusaders, Bishor
Walter Mitchell, diocese of Arizona
will be here Sunday and all of the
week; other Episcopal pastors be-
sides Rev. E. l.. Freeland of Flag
staff who will be present during the
week of the crusade being Rev. Tracy
F. Walsh of Winslow, Rev. Alfred w
Nichols of Prescott, Rev. H. Fl. Gillies
of Kingman and Rev. NJ. M. Fryer o1
