They express full belief in ill their teachings. The death of Lulu Pratt seems to affect them but little. They say ”8he died for the Lord.” Mrs. Sharp states that they had no religion until six yetrs ago, when her husband announced that they were not living right and that he had a revelatiou of the faith of God. They be gan reading the Bible and a week later Mrs. Sharp got the revel ation "that the spirit of God came to us the same way it came to Adam, David and to Christ..” They sold their farm, gave the money away to people who needed it and started out to preach travelling through Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Minnesota and Canada, living on the gifts from converts and others.
