Mrs. Pratt and daughter Mary .aged 11, tell a story of com
plete trust in Sharp and his wife, whom they refer to as Adam
and Eve. 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. Last summer they started from White Earth, Mont , and
went down the Missouri in a house boat, preaching at the cities
and towns. They went armed many months owing to "persecu
tion.” Yesterday's riot was the result of police interference at
a street meeting of the fanatics.
