OF course It's work will be largely ex-

A FRONTIER MINISTER'S
TRIALS

There may DC people VINO Gil

making a note of his appoint.
ments and bear memory to their
methodical fullfillment through
all kinds of weather in all sea-
sons. The must fulfill their
part whether the people attend
or not. Let us take up the case
of one of our own home minis
ters-Rev. j. A. Dieson, of
Sverdrup. Besides his regular
appointments in this county,
which are scattered in about
every school district, he holds
services regu: arly at Fort Clark
Oliver County, as we'll as Lang
dahl, Kidder County. 1t is not
40 Difficult int making regular
time connections in long sum-
1ner days, but in a winter like
the present one, it is a very diff
ficul and dangerous way of
serving the Lord-but he feels
it his duty and does it uncom-
plalningly. He cannot wait
in a warm sitting room at a
way station ready to trip in on
4 warm cushion to be carried to
his destination without hardly
turning the color of his cheek
by exposure to the wintry ele-
ments, as does the preacher in
older settled communities. But
lie must hitch up his bronchos
and "peg out" over the snow
banks or through them to meet
his call. If the wind blows hard
and cold or the thermometer
registers 40 degrees below zero.
it cuts no figure.
NJ Deison was a LEADER
caller, Thursday and came in
for the purpose of writing out
his coming appointments. He
had just returned from Lang
:Iahl. Kidder County-some 60
miles away. The trip occupied
IL days. At French's ranch
on, his return, he was compelled
to leave his horse, sled and buff
falo coat and take skees or Nor
w-geon snow shoes On these he
came IS miles often completely
enve,oped by clouds of driving
snow. He saw many dead hor-
ses on the route and many more
that would soon die. Mr.. Del
SEE is a small man in statue,
but makes q radical Offset in an
unlimited amount of grit and
faith in his good work..
