1903, nearly five years, all for the
price OF our paper alone. just walk
up to the captains Office and draw the
greatest prize you ever drew. ii
We are pleased to learn that Charles
German has so far recovered from his
late accident as to be able to be up,
although he will be obliged to use
crutches. Since leaving here for Min
neapolis he has not enjoyed the best
OF health and his recent misfortune
leaves him in rather weak condi-
tion.
j. F. Craig, prominent worker in
the Salv alton Army, and Cap. Jeffry,
OF the Sioux Falls corps, stopped off
here last Saturday on their way to
the Twin Cities. It is probable that
they may visit Willmar again, when
they will assist IN the meetings of the
local corps.
A large congregation was present
at the Mission church last Thursda ay
evening to listen to an address by
Prof. Daniel Nyvall, principal of
North Park College, Chicago. The
theme of the address was 'The King
dom of God," and it was an eloquent
sermon. The Professor is recognized
as one OF the. ablest speakers in the
country.
An anti-polygamy league is the
latest. Why not adopt the plan sug-
gested by the Muscatine Journal and
put mulct on polygamy. Let the
Mormons who want plural wiyes pay
for the privilege, say 81 900 for a Sec
ond wife and $4,000 for third, etc.
They don't seem to be able to prohibit
polygamy: better control it and get
revenue out of it.-[Iowa Common
wealth.
Word has been received here that
Rev. Frykman, of Montana, is unable
to come to Willmar to take charge of
the Mission church as Rev. Oster-
holm's successor. Another clergyman
will most likely be called before long
to supply the vacancy which will be
caused by Rev. Osterholm's departure
for the East to assume his theological
studies. He expects to leave in the
early fall.
