the largest in the Northwest. The con-
gregations have enjoyed the most eo-
quent and instructive sermons ever list
ened to and the fame of the pastor as
pulpit orator extends far and wide.
In the evening the congregation cele-
brated the anniversary by rendering

roses. smilaX etc. From early even
ing until a lato hour the house was
thronged from top to bottom with Wis

the most brilliant social events ever
known in Grand Forks. The popular
pastor was kept busy receiving congrat-
ulations and kindly expressions OF good
will FROM his host of admirers. Nor
were his guests confined to members of
his own parish. Citizens without re-
gard to church Affiliations testified by
their presence their appreciation of
Father Conaty's labOrs. During the
evening charming musical program
was rendered including vocal solos by
Mrs. II. Burton, Miss Dorsey and Mr. FO-
bert and Il number of beautiful instru-
mental numbers by Miss Levi. The best
of feeling and an entire absence of for
mality prevailed during the entire even
