Detrois. In his report he made
particular mention of the work he
had done at Sank Centre and
Staplet. In these two towns he had
helped to place the churches and So

He said that good work had also
been done elsewhere.
A discussion, the subject of which
was, "The Care OF Our Weak
Churches, was led by Rev. M. Ham
ilton, of Staples. Many delegates
spoke on the above topic; several of
which gave some excellent hints as
a means of betterment and increased
substantially for various churches
which are not in a prosperous condi-
ton. In connection with the above
topic the need of cooperation and
the united labors in the missionary
lines were considered the two most
important ways OF caring for weak
churches. .$

"A Pastors Experience in Frontier
Work" was subject ably handed
by Rev. G. G. Cressy,, OF Benidji.
His talk was made doubly interest

personal experience. He related
many incidents which had occurred
in his work and of the many peculiar
things one was obliged to master or
pass through in pressing the belief in
Christianity.
A missionary sermon was then
preached by Rev. G. r. G. Poole,I OF
Crookston. He took as his subject,
"And the Isles Shall Wait for Thy
Law" During his talk he gave a

teaching in the belief of Christ has
upon the most uneducated of the is
landers.

delegates. Thousands of volumes IF
