Of our work. Wednesday evening po-
pular meeting was held. Mrs. d. vii.
liams made few remarks in behalf of
the woman's missionary society of the
presbytery. Revs. Brown and Hunter
spoke OH foreign missions, and Father
Scott gave most happy speech on his
experience as home missionary. His
description Of his getting the Indian

Pembina. and keeping them there with
a barrel of crackers, was most amusing.
He brought down tho house several
times. This was one Of Father SCOTS
most happy addresses; it will long be re-.
membered by the people Of Devils Lake.

favor of the young seminary ut Fargo
and the college at Jamestown. A popul-
ar meeting in the evening was addressed
by Revs. Converse, of Devils Lake,
Baskerville, Of Tower City, and Cary of
Fargo. The meeting OIL Sunday night
was addressed by Revs. Cobleigh, of
Grafton, Foresman, of Hillsboro, and
Scott, of WalllalIa. The most enjoyable
meeting of all was the one held on Satur-
day Il. NJ, when the historical sketches
were given by the older members,
Brother Iddings giving his experience
in Grand Forks in 1878, and Elmer, oil
Moorllead, MINI, (who had been invited
to come to Synod to give u sketch of the
work i'll Fargo in the early days, his ex-
perience i'll Fargo in 1873. He preached
tile first sermon in North Dakota Except
to soldiers and Indians) in a tent in Fargo
i'll 1873. The saloon keeper in order TO |
swell the congregation and encourage
the preacher, told the "boys" that i'll
they would go to preaching he would |
treat them when they would come
back. Two years later an NJ. L. minister
settled in Fargo, and hotel keeper
promised the men so cents each, if they
would 60 to the sermon. sOn applying
for the 30 cents when he came back, one
man was refused, and the landlord ex-
planned that he promised so cents only
to the ''hard cases." Such were the be-
ginnings of Christian work in Fargo, now
the great city Of North Dokota. We all
enjoyed our first Synod very much, and
were all kindly entertained. Father
Scott found a home with Mr.. and Mrs. T.
Z. Yerxa, too well known in Pcmbina,
town and county, to need any explains
tons. We were surprised to find the
immense establishment T. L. Yerxa has
in Fargo, holding central location
and having, some one said, some twenty
five or thirty clerks in his employ there.
The writer took charge of his class in
Sunday school, and in meeting of Penn
bina Presbytery held there, he was
called in as sort of an advisory member.
1t is our desire that he may prosper as a
business man and do good to the city
and churches by his energy and kind
libeEality. The next meeting of Synod
will be held in jamestown OIL the second
Thursday in October 1856.
