Rev. E. F. Spicer, the present pas
tor of the M. E. church, came to
Warren in 1896. He has labored
earnestly and necessarily and the
congregation, of which he has been in
charge, has steadily grown and pros
pered. It is during his passionate
that the church has been moved to
it's present location, and improved
SO as to make it one of the hand
soonest church edifices in this part
OF the state, and the parsonage, al
so, has been renovated and greatly
improved. In these labors he has
been aided also by Mrs. Spicer, who
stands by his side encouraging and
taking a hand in all good work. By
their friendliness and Christian zeal
both the pastor and his wife have
won for themselves warm places in
the hearts OF their Pensioners.
Rev. Spicer is a diligent student and
an eloquent speaker. His sermons
are always listened to with pleasure
and profit. Being yet young in
years he has no doubt before him a
long and successful career in the
ministry.

FIFTY years ago last May Senator
Nelson, then 6 years old, sailed with
his mother from Norway to the Unit
ed States, Today the Senator starts
to visit his native land for the first
time in the half century that he has
been a citizen of his adopted country.
Senator Nelson willspend two months
in the Old World and will visit Great
Britain and travel generally through
Norway, Sweden and Denmark, and
will also visit England, Scotland and
Ireland. Among the first places the
senator will seek out is his native
town OF Bergen, Norway, where he
was born fifty-six years ago.-Minne-

Her Claim Gone.

Word comes from Warroad that
during a recent gale there, which
continued three days and which
dashed the waters into a fury, the
land known as Sand Island entirely
disappeared. The tract comprised
20 acres OF sandy soil upon which
small brush and a few trees grew
and lay near the shore a mile north
of the mouth of Warroad river. 1t
was but a few feet higher than the
level OF the lake, and the waves
broke over it in such volume as to
wash the sand entirely away, loosen
ing the roots OF all vegetation, and
obliterating the island so that where
it once showed itself there is now
clean sweep OF water. Miss Florence
Dousland, of Crookston, had filed
upon the land as a homestead.-T.

did the Philippian jailor Of old, saving.
"MeE and brethren. what must / do
to be saved?" Bro. Allen had a voice
that could wake the dead and many
of those that were dead in trespasses
and sin heard that voice and arose to
newness OF life in Christ Jesus. The
universal testimony is that Bro. Al
len made it lively for the Devil and
all his imps, SO much SO indeed that
his Satanic majesty attempted to re-
taliate one Sunday by crawling into
the church stove-pipe and knocking
the whole thing down during service.
1t is reported, however, that Bro. Al
len was not in the least disturbed by
such a trivial affair as this and so
kept right on pulling down the strong
holds OF Satan. Those who lived and
labored with Bro. Allen during his
passionate here can never forget the
blessed scenes that were SO common
during those two memorable years.
Those were blessed times when scores
were brought into the Kingdom and
when there was a continual shout in
the camp. Bro. Aliens pastorate
was by far the most successful in the
history of the church. During his
stay of two years IS were received
into the church on probation and IS
by letter, making total of96. But
we must hasten on. After Bro. Allen
came Rev. J. w. Briggs, then E. w.
Simmonds, DR.. Green, l. F. Davidson,
S. q. kaufman, S. s. Farley, c. b.
Brecount, J. NJ. Brown, Thos. Bill
ling and E. F. Spicer. A.-~.
Time would fail me to tell of all the
souls saved, OF all the obstacles over
come, and all the victories won dur
ing the passionate Of those l have
named. Suffice it to say that the
church has not only lived through
many trying experiences, but has
prospered. The Warren church stands
today with it's face turned toward the
future and it's brow illumed with the
smiles Of coming victory:

PHoTo BY w. J. WOOD.

I cannot close this sketch without
referring to the noble work done by
the ladies OF the church. Tosay that
the L. A. S. has been a great help to
the church during the past 20 years
would be putting the thing too mild
ly. We may rest assured that the
Warren NJ. E. church would long since
have ceased to be had it not been for
the work done by the L. A. s. Not
a year has passed since the church
was organized that they have not
raised several hundred dollars. Since
Feb 81 the LAS. has raised $25OO 90,
and it is safe to say that they
have raised three times that much in
twenty years. The L. "A. S. have
bought a parsonage, paid for it, and
put it in good repair; besides this they
have helped regularly to bear the
running expenses OF the church. The
names OF Mrs. j. p. Nelson, Mrs. w.
W. Wood, Mrs. R. Mentzer, Mrs.
Craig, Mrs. Raimheld, Mrs. "A. Camp
bell, Mrs. L. G. Wood, Mrs. J ohm and
Mrs. Ed Slice and many others are in
separately connected with the early
history Of Methodism in this place
and to these must be added the names
OF many others who from that time
to the present have given of their
time and talent to make Methodism
a success in Warren. We have not
time to mention their names. We are
certain, however, that each one is
known above and that their names are
recorded in the Lambs Book OF Life.
Nor should we forget in sketching
the history of the church the great
debt of gratitude that is due to the
young people of the church. Our
church to-day in its new coat of paint
appears more beautiful than it has
for years, and this improvement is
due to the work done by the Young
Peoples Society Of the church. And
this is only one of the many improve
ments they have wrought in the
months that are past. The young
people are a tower of strength to the
church to-day, and what they are to
Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1899-08-10

the church to-day. they have been
during all the years that are past.
To sketch the work done by the &C..
M. b." by the Epworth League,
and by the Young Peoples Society
would take more time than we have
at our disposal. Nor should we for
get to mention the work done by the
choir. We have not time to tell of
all the benefits that accrue to the
church from the work done by the
choir. Suffice it to say that much of
the success which has come to the
church has come as result of the
work done by those who have conse-
Grated their voices to the services of
God. Nor can we forget to mention
the work done by brother Furs. For
more than twelve years he has stood
at his post of duty as janitor of the
church, and during that time has
rendered invaluable service to the
church. He has done work which
few would have done and we feel safe
in saying that not one church in one
hundred has as faithful janitor as
the M. =. church of Warren. We
know that for such faithful service
he will at last hear the "Well DONE"
1t is with great gratitude that we
note the blessings which kind
Providence has showered upon US
during the past twenty years, and for
these blessings we would devoutly
praise almighty God. And we pray
that since Warren Methodist ahurch
has been the recipient of SO many
blessings, she may also prove very
fruitful vine in the Masters vineyard.
1t is our sincere desire that for years
to come this church may shine as
light IN this community, and that it
may be place of refuge for all who
wish to find salvation from their sins.
0, Church of Jesus Christ, may the
blessing of the Triune God rest upon
thee, and may Teace and prosperity
attend thee i'll all thy ways!

A REMINISCENCE.

I remember, remember,
When the Elder said to me,
Brother, you are down for WARREN
And he fled Immediately,
Fled away ere could stay him,
Fled, ere could raise my plea
To be sent again to Fisher, g
Where the people wanted me. s
remember DR.. Chaffee
Hove in sight just there and then,
From the presence of the bishop,
Shutting up his fountain pen.
Said to him, doctor, tell me,
Is that 'pOintment made to stay?"
YES said he, YOU'RE down for Warren,
1t is down in ink to-day"
Well, felt quite bad for Warren,
For the people Of that town,
That they hadn't c. B. Brecount,
Or that jolly fellow, Brown,
For little bird had told me,
AS travelled down to town,
How the people wanted Brecount
Or alternate, Brother Brown.
So at length entered Warren,
Found the people good and true,
With the Christians hopes and longings,
For the city out of view;
Found them ever true and loyal
To the church they called their home;
was glad to be amongst them,
They were glad that had come.
Many blessings, remember,
Clustered round my pathway there;
God was present with his people,
And he heard and answered prayer;
Some were led to trust in Jesus,
Found in him new life and peace
May they keep the heavenly pathway
Till the pilgrimage shall cease.
Yes! it's blessed to remember
Faces lit by heavenly light,
Words of witness to their Saviour,
Testimonies clear and bright;
And I still rejoice that Jesus
Showers His blessings full and free
And I ask when you are praying,
Sometimes to remember me.
Yes, always shall remember
Those who lived and prayed and wrought
For the children of the Kingdom,
Whom the blood of Jesus bought;
And may you, dear friends in Warren,
Grow in grace and Joy and love,
Till the tolls of life are over
And we reach our home above.
remember days of sadness,
When we laid beneath the sod
Loved ones from the church and firesides,
Who were summoned home to God;
When the lights that burned so brightly,
Cheering others on the way,
We're removed from loving circles
To the land of cloudless day.
Then the songs we sang together,
They will ne'er forgotten be, .
Of the wonderful salvation"
That, as ever, just suits me-"
And my heart is still responsive,
So wherever may roam, e.
I'll 60 anywhere with Jesus" as
Till i've see the lights of Home."

j. The late James 'McManes Of Phila-
delphia was = type of straightforward
business man who saw IS much reason
for acquitting moral as he did financial
obligations. It will be recalled that
when the Peoples bank Of Philadel-
phia became ,insolvent through the
POPULATIONS of It's cashier Mr.. Nc
Names came forward and saved the
depositors from loss. His PERSONAL OBJ
legation to the depositors anaouhted5 to
$685. 600, that being the sum, as5ssetsed
against him asa stockholders. ,,Op the
day that the cashier committed: suicide
Mr.: Mechanics informed the press that
depositors would be paid every dollar
in full. And they were. he drew his
own check to make his word good. Mr..
McManes was not a professional
good man either. He did not pose as
better than his neighbors and had a
thorough contempt for hypocrisy. He
touched elbows. with the people and
was a leader In public affairs Of his
city for generation. His career is
one that young business men could
well emulate.
