One phenomenon now long forgotten to most in the 1920s, was the girl evangelist. Hundreds, if not thousands, of girls, some as young as three, and some criss crossing the North American continent many times, took to the revivalist platform and preached nightly, sometimes to crowds of thousands, and conducted long crusades, averaging three weeks in length, in revival after revival.
One that stood out from all the rest was Uldine Utley, impacted by Sister McPherson. Uldine had just turned eleven. Within months her name would be spread across the United States. Within a year she would be one of the featured speakers, along with Smith Wigglesworth, at the “Great International Pentecostal Camp Meeting" in Berkeley, California 1924.
