city Friday on his way to Yankton
to place his demented wife in the in
sane asylum. Mr.. Brown stated to the
reporter that his wife commenced to
show signs of insanity month ago and
before that she frequently made odd
speeches., but it was not until q week
ago that she commenced to lose her
mind. The first of the week she be-
came insane and grew worse right
along. he thinks that with care and
quiet she will soon recover her mental
faculties. Mr.. Brown said that her in
sanity was due to reading works on
christian science, although it was but
recently that he discovered that she
was reading the books and kept them
secreted around the house. Mr.. Browns
friends in Mitchell will be sorry to
learn of his and her misfortune.

The first college was char
tered in 1922; the first theological
school was founded by John Dempster
in Concord. Now we have 200 schools
of higher learning, consisting of 20
theological schools, 50 colleges, &c
classical seminaries, exclusively for
women, and 76 foreign mission schools. :"
In answer to thequestion "Why have
denominational schools, when the state
supplies higher institutions of learn
ing" DR.. Payne showed that denomi-
national schools, served the highest
interest of the Individuals, by develop
ing the whole man; conserved the in
tegrity and prosperity of the state by
developing christian statesman: they
were absolutely necessary to the church
as state schools could moi. develop its
ministry, and the spiritual influences
of religious school could and does de.
velop the highest convictions of the
soul.

THE MISSIONARY ANNIVERSARY.

A Splendid Attendance Greeted the
Session of the Mission Department..
One of the adjunctive features of the
Methodist church is its foreign mission
ary work and one of the strongest helps
in raising funds is the womans foreign
missionary society. An anniversary of
the society was held a. the Methodist
church Thursday afternoon and very
large audience was present on that oc-
casion. Mrs. L. P. Hauser of Aberdeen
presided and after the opening exercises
made a brief address reviewing the
work of the year, and presented her
annual report as correspond ing secre-
tary. 1t showed that there are 27 aux
iliaries in this conference with 44e
members; young woman's auxiliary
and Is childrens with 297 mem bers
This conference supports Is orphans in

by districts was as follows: Aberdeen,

$66.05. Total receipts were $947.72, ar
increase over last year of $34.93. A
very pleasant feature of the exercises
was representation in native costumes

Raised the Co,lee. Debt.

At the close of DR.. Payne's address
he presented the matter of the indebt-
edness of Dakota University which had
hung over the institution for q mum Der
of years. He stated that it had been
decided by tne management and the
committee on education, including the
presiding elders, that the present was
an opportune time to clear the institu-
tion of its indebtedness. 1t seemed
like lifting a mountain as to raise the
indebtedness which encompassed the
university, but the Methodists loved
their university aud seem willing to
undergo every hardship or endure any
privation to foster and encourage it all
they can. With strong sympathetic
feeling on his side DR.. Payne started in
raise the $7290. First the claim OF
Prof. Duncan for $3.50, for we'll earned
salary, was presented, and to start the
ball to rolling Prof. Duncan cut his
claim in half, accepting S1,375, to satis-
fly that debt. Then DIR. Graham's claim
of salary for S70S, was treated in like
manner at his own suggestion and 1854
paid that debt. Prof. Stout, now living
in Iowa, authorized subscription of
SlOO on his claim. Then it VISA the
turn of the presiding elders and minis
ters to come to the rescue and they did
it in grand and self-sacrafcing man
ner.> In short time enough money
was pledged to liquidate every dollar
of Indebtedness against Dakota Univer-
sity. Altogether including the dona-
tions made by the creditors S7290 was
raised. The college students present,
showed their hearty appreciation of the
generous action of the conference by
giving their college yell and letting
DR.. Payne know she was all right,
while the congregation several times
sang the doxology. DR.. Payne was
given rising vote OF thanks.

The Educational Anniversary.

Probably one of the largest audiences
which has gathered at any of the $685.
ions of the conference so far was the
one which crowded the Methodist
church to its fullest capacity Thurs
day evening, the occasion being the
educational anniversary. DR.. G. B.
Clark, Of Huron and former Mitchell
gentleman, presided as chairman. The
addresses of the evening we're divided
between Bishop Warren and DR.. Payne.
The bishop spoke first and said in SUBJ
stance: "What is education? There
is an idea that education is going to an
institution where empty heads are fill
ed. To educate is to develop the possi-
bilities. There are possibi lities in
everything. Sunshine and mud can be-
come trees. Rock may become sand;
sand, soil; soil will raise grain; grain
nourishes man and beast and helps sus-
tain higher life.
Iron is worthless, except for its possi-
bilities. Send it to the common schools
and it becomes cast iron. Send it to q
college it becomes wrou ht iron. Send
| it to university it becomes steel. You
can draw out the steel in q small wire
and stretch it across continents and
oceans, and with the infusion of the
electric current it is endowed with
speech. A little more work put on it,
and it can be made hundred Thousand
times as valuable as 80 much gold. If
iron ore can be enhanced thus in value
by education, then man is capable OF
enhancing the possibilities within him
by education. Take the faculty OF
great men, and make one man as great
in every respect as any man was in any
respect and you have the ideal man
And no church can be truly His tina,
does not strive for this ideal, to develop
men in perfect manhood in Christ Jesus
When introduced to the audience DR.
Payne congratulated the conference or
its university and spoke on the histor!
of educational work. He said: "Metho
dism is evangelistic, and, hence, educa
tienal, for they are ineeparable. Th'
conversion of the world calls for educa
ted men and women and Methedisn

At the famous Christmas conferenc
plans were laid for an educational in
stitution for America, which resulte
in Cokesb burg college being erected at

instance in the history of Methodist
that seems against education, was tn

In the case of E. S. Darling, on his
appeal from the decision of this confer
ence last year that he be deposed from
the ministry and be expelled from the
church, the decision of the judicial con-
ference was read acquitting him and
reversing Judgment. He was permit
ed to withdraw from the, ministry and
church, and the presiding elder was in
structed to secure his ministerial cre-
dentials.
The question of supernumerary
preachers were called and all passed in

case was referred to the presiding elder

IN THE SOCIAL WHIRL.

A Large Company of Friends Richly
Entertained by Mr Harold Beckwith.
One of the most brilliant and happy
parties of the season was given by Mr..
Harold Beckwith at his house Friday
when he royalty entertained about
fifty of his young lady and gentlemen
friends. The large and spacious rooms
were brightly illuminated and the for
al decorations cast sweet fragrance in
the air and the happy faces of the
guests beemed with pleasure. Start
ing in with progressive eucher, which
lasted an hour or more, the amuse-
ments were varied and entertaining and
the enthusiasm was not allowed to wane
during the evening. Following cards
the guests listened to some clever vocal
selections given by Misses Good ykoontz,
Becker, Gregory and Mrs. b. E. Hitch
cock. The company requested Mr..
Beckwith to sing and he kindly gave
one of his best numbers. This part of
the program was quite enjoyable. Ia
bles were then laid for refreshments
and while the guests regaled them
selves with the daintily prepared delica-
cies Geiger Bros. orchestra rendered
some choice musical selections, being
stationed in the large bay window. At
the conclusion of this pleasurable feat
ure the chairs and tables were removed
and the balance of the evening was
spent in dancing to the music furnished
by the orchestra. The whole events of
the evening conspired to make the af
fair most delightful and the occasion
was richly enjoyed. On tie departure
of the guests they extended to Mr..
Beckwith their warmest thanks for the
hours he had made to pass 80 pleasant
ly. Following is list of the invited

Why Mr.. Utlex Left Town.

A later investigation as to the reason
Mitchell shows different reason from
the one he assigned in his statement
and the Peoples church committee feel
that inasmuch as the matter has acquir-
ed so much public notoriety they desire
to show their connection with his de-
parture. About the middle of last
week charges of an immoral and de-
basing character were presented to the
committee and the proof of the charges
were 30 unquestionably true that the
members of the committee sent Mr..
Utley letter stating y him that his
services as pastor of the church were
no longer desired. Not satisfied with q
dismissal of this kind Mr.. Utley asked
for hearing, which they generously
accorded him. At this meeting the
committee had their charges and proof
with them. Mr.. Utley was confronted
with the charge of gross immoral con-
duct, entirely too disgusting and dis
graceful to mention in the columns of a
newspaper, and for an answer he re-
nained silent. Unable to deny the
charges there was hardly anything for
him to do but to leave the city, which
he did Monday. The committee was
very indignant over the manner in
which they had been deceived and
promptlys evered connection with a
man who had 30 disgraced himself and
those who supported him. Mr.. Utley
asked the committee to grant him the
privilege of making statement to the
public that the reason for his departure
from Mitchell was because of the facl
Of support and this the committee per
mitted, believing that the charges
would not be made known. In SOM
manner unknown to the committee tn
proceedings we're made public and t.
!, show how promptly the committee act
: ed in the case we have made the abov
statement as told us by one OF the mem
; bers of the committee.
Utley was man of fine physical az
pearance and in his preaching wa
quite attractive. He is well educate
y in liberal religious thought and pre-
sented strong sermons on that line
But he has disgraced himself by hi
inhuman nature and the scourges {
> time can hardly efface the 1earft
blight on his character.

A Lack of Support Compelled Rev. Mr.
Several months ago Rev. VIM. Utley
came here from Hartley, Iowa, for the
purpose of establishing a liberal church,
a religion, in fact, which would be
suitable to any and all classes. At first
the appearances Indicated to Mr.. Utley
that he was going to be eminently sue
cessful, but the meeting of Sunday
evening led him to different conclus-
ion. He wanted to meet the members
of the church and provide for future
existence. The meeting did not come
up to what Mr.. Utley anticipated and
as he expressed it to The REPUBLICAN
he was through for the present as he
was tired of assuming the obligations
himself. The following statement was
handed in by Mr.. Utley today: "Owing
to the severe storm of last evening Rev.
Fowler did not speak at the Peoples
church Only a small number were
present and it was thought not worth
his while. Rev. Utley left Monday for
Iowa to attend a wedding on Wednes-
day of this week. Until further notice
there will be no services for the Peo.
ple's church organization. Suficien,
funds to carry on the work have not
been Forthcoming and it has been de-
cided best to drop the work for the pre-
sent"
There were several rumors af1oa
around town Monday in reference to Mr.
Ultey's conduct which do not refec
very much credit to his position as ,
clergyman, but his liberality in religio,
may have given him more liberality ii
his every day life.
