AMERICAN BIBLE SocIETY.-Fergus county
has never been canvassed to supply fami-
lies with Bibles. There isnot place with
in hundred miles of Lewistown where
Bibles are kept for sale. Repeated attempts
have been made to secure Bibles and Testa.
ments from the American Bible society for
gift and sale, but in vain.
What has the Board of Trade accom-
plished toward securing permanent ceme-
terry for Lewistown and vicinity?
The strawberry and ice cream festival for
the benefit of Bro. Remington, mentioned
in the Stanford letter, was great success
and netted $50.
Bishop Brewer, of the Episcopal church
has consented to hold services in the Pres

11th.
In view of the recent discussion of school
matters, the famous saying of good Brother
Van Orsdei is in order: keep sweet,

Judge Dudley DuBose is expected to de-
liver a lecture in the course at the Presby-
terian church when he visits Lewistown TO
attend the next term of court.
The Stanford letter is made to record a
''long service" Sabbath evening at Stanford.
Those who have heard Mr.. Edwards preach
are well aware that he never held a ''long''
service. "Song" service would have been
correct if the weather had not interfered.
Moral: The managing editors are not in
spired prophets, and compositors are still
fallible.

CHURCH SERVICES.

The church, with it's present men,
bership and contributions, is justified
in having services three Sabbaths OF
the months-both morning and even
ing. The services are quite well at
tended, the number averaging from 40
to 65. There are Il number belonging
to the congregation who are regular
attendants at one or both of the
toward the Presbyterian faith, or are
attracted, at least, by onr ways and
methods, which, we feel, may eventu-
ally result in additions to the church.
1t is the aim of the church to make
the services as attractive as can possi-
bly, be done, consistent with the Pres
byterian order of worship and lose
none of it's force or dignity, or detract
from the solemnity OF the service. One
feature that always adds and gives
force and effect to a sermon, Is the
music before and after. 1t harmon
izcs the thought of the various mem.
bers of the congregation and prepares
Their SOuiS lOT tnt RECEPTION Ol the
truth as it is uttered by the minister.
1t is not the object OF this individual
church to be exclusive in reference to
it's music, still We think it just and
proper to have a good choir to take
the lead in singing. 1t inspires the
congregation with more confidence and
makes them feel like entering heartily
into the service, and they do sing as if
their very hearts were overburdened
with praise.
The choir consists at present of a
mixed quartette of average singers.
Just at the present it is not in as good
condition as it formerly was, because
one of the principal singers has gone
east to continue her musical studies
for a few months. We must give to all
the proper credit for the work they
have done in building up the choir and
giving it the standing it has attained.
1t was through the untiring efforts
and natural ability of Miss Anna D..
Edwards that we have been able to
have the choir we have. Miss Edwards
was the organist for several years and
was ever ready to sacrifice herself in
order that the regular church services

ABSOLUTELY PURE
The School Case Settled.

Judge DuBose on July 9Th, handed down
his decision in the action brought to annul
the proceedings Of the Board of County
Commissioners in dividing school district
No. l. The courts opinion is too lengthy
for publication in this issue, but in sub
stance he finds that the petition for divis-
ion did not set forth on its face, as the
statute requires, that five OF the petition
ers were heads of families" This technic-
ality was sufficient to invalidate the
boards action and their proceedings in
dividing the district are annulled. The
court states in his opinion that great
part OF plaintiffs affidavit has no part in
a motion for a writ of certiorari and dis
misses the charge of conspiracy in a few
sentences
Although the judge and all parties con-
cerned know that ten times five heads OF
families signed the petition for division, the
omission of few words from the petition
| invalidates the whole proceedings as the
court can only take into consideration the
record, his personal knowledge cannot be
| considered.

CHURCH WORK AND RELIGIOUS NOTES
Edited by Geo. Edwards, Pastor, and w. E
Cort, Elder.

The Presbyterian church OF Lewis
town was organized July IA, 1890.
Without any special design on their
part this Ladies' Edition of the ARGUS
celebrates the completion of the fifth
year in the history of the society. A
brief glance at the history and work
OF the church is also appropriate at
this time, as the pastor, who assisted
i'll its organization, has signified his
desire to close his.work on this field at
the end of the present church year.
1t was in July, 1890, Rev. S. f. Wish
ard, ID. D., an honored name in the
home missionary annals of Montana,
made a preaching tour through Meagh-
er and Fergus counties in company
with the home missionaries, George
Edwards, "Dan and True Boy" the
latter being team OF ponies that
have Travelled 10000 miles over the
mountains and plains of Montana in
the interests OF home missions. Meet
ings were held at Martinsdale, Ubet,
Philbrook (three days, at Lewistown
/ for five days, and at White Sulphur
Springs for about two weeks. AS the
result of the work at Lewistown a
church was organized July IA, 1890 ;
two elders were elected; twenty per-
sons were enrolled as charter men,
bers, two of whom, VIM. II. Watson
and Mrs. William Fergus, have gone
! home to glory. The Home Mission
Board was laboring under a debt OF
! $4,000. The decree had gone forth,
mo new work" Lewistown, a county
/. seat, had never enjoyed the services
of resident ordained minister of any
denomination. True, II Methodist
church, capable OF seating $50 people,
had been erected four years before,
. through the efforts of Bro. Van Ors-
del, but the minister, who visited the
4 field monthly, had his home at Phil
4 brook, thirty miles away. 1t seemed
one of the most inviting fields IN Mon.
tana. DIR. Wishard said "The babe is
horn and must be cared for" Edwards
4 proposed to undertake the work. The
board said, "No." Without any prom
! Use OF aid from the east, he packed his
/! books and furniture and left White
! Sulphur Springs, driving a four-horse
1 freight outfit borrowed for the pur-
pose OF Elder S. +. McNair, formerly
of Utica. On the steepest hills he had
to drop trail. The board kindly for
gave this act of disobedience, and last
! year DIR. w. C. Roberts, correspond
ing secretary of the board, Rraciously
remarked: "You were on the ground
and OF course your judgment was bet
ter than ours"
Miss Anna ID. Edwards, younger sis
ter of the pastor, undertook the work
! with him, and for the space of four
years proved a faithful assistant in
| all branches of church work As no
] suitable dwelling place could be OBJ
/ tanned it was necessary during the first
winter, after the example of Saint
] Paul to "labor with the hands," not
/ making tent cloth, but in erecting a
Presbyterian manse OF six rooms,
| which has made comfortable home
for them for four years.
The elders-elect failed to qualify, so

of priests from Helena, from Fort Ben
ton and from st. Peters mission. An
appeal for the erection of church
was made by DIR. Lapalme in 1887 and
the response was so generous that in
the following year he was able to build
the church which we see in Lewistown
today.

to over $50, of which over $75 is

For preaching stations and appoint
ments see the church directory on the
local page.
Rev. Vigus furnishes the following
statement tax en- chiefly from his arti-
Gle in "The Gospel in all Lands" en-
| titled "Methodism in the Judith Basin
of Montana The NJ. Z. church OF
Lewistown was built by Rev. w. W.
NanOrsdel, when acting as superinten-
dent of missions in the year 1856, at a
cost of 81, 600. The church has a pres
ent membership of 50, growing Sur
day school and and an Epworth league.
Ten miles from Lewistown there is the
beautiful Beaver creek valley " here we
have a church costing $1,000, free of
debt; yet the people feel very despon-
dent as they are almost without pas
toral care, having only one Sabbath
afternoon service once month.
Bishop Joyce hoped at the last con-
ference to get some young man from
the east to take this new field, of which
Beaver creek church is the center,
which has over 30 members, two Sunday
schools and one Epworth league with
20 members. If we can hold this peo-
pie for God and Methodism there must
be placed a man in the field in the
near future"
ROMAN CATHOLIC.
We have most pleasant recollection
of past association with Father A. j.
| Van den Heuvel, especially the Chris
/ = ~ vphinh h4 ,,nstnA x,tfb
the Protestant ministers and Sunday
school workers of Fergus county in the
organization of county Sunday school
association two years ago. He has
furnished us with the following state
ment for publication:
| The Catholics also well deserve our
notice from their connection with the
upbuilding of Fergus county. We find
! them here as early as 1890, when with
their blankets and horses, their wives
and families, they wandered over the
plains and mountains in search of buf-
falo. We are informed that when FIR.
Koppens made his visitation in August,
1871, he took an account of 16S men
who, with the proportion of women
and children, must have amounted to
500 souls. These Christianized Indians
have been accused by some of wor-
Shipping the winds and the sun and
moon, but even heather Indians deny
the charge and explain the equivocal
conduct, which may appear to give
color to it. The elements and more
particularly the light and the sun were
objects of their religious reverence be-
cause they consider them as the purest
symbols, the noblest productions and
the most powerful agents of the Divine
Power. Some Indians indeed Though
in very different sense) worshipped
fire-water, but show us the community
of whites where temples to this deity
are not prominent.
In 1876 "Gov." Brooks, Mr.. Janeaux,
Paul Morase and Dan and John Crow
ley came to Fergus county; all these
are Catholics and the first white settlers
here. As the country settled up the
buffalo disappeared and with the buf.
falo the Indian and a large proportion
of the half-breeds, so that the Catholic
population in 1885 was smaller than il
was in 1871. Their spiritual wants
were supplied by the occasional visits
