[Scott Pitta]

Petals from the Rose of Sharon came in the post today. It is a bound collection of a magazine published by Uldine Utley. It is dated 1924. Do to the bookmarks found in it, I do not think it has been opened since that time period.

Uldine Utley was a child evangelist who began preaching at the age of 12. She was saved at a Aimee Temple McPerson revival in Fresno, Ca.

Her pubic ministry began in San Francisco, Berkeley and Oakland. This was in 1925.

She preached for Carrie Montgomery, and Rev. Craig, of the AOG church in San Francisco. I have a picture of her standing next to Madison Tatman, a famous Oneness evangelist.

But there is no mention of Harry Morse. Nor do I see any names in the book of Oneness ministers. Other data connects her with Madison Tatman, Herbert Buffum and Thoro Harris.


So it is a bit of a dead end. It does provide context to the work of evangelists in the 1920's. They were a very colorful group, with over the top personalities.

It was the first great lead I have had in the Harry Morse project in a while and I think I will need to finish the project as is. I wish I had more data to put in the book and fill in some areas. I wish I could identify people in old pictures. There are more of Harry's students out there, but I cannot determine who they were.
