The writer had the pleasure very
recently of listening to Sunday
morning sermon by Rev. John Sin
clair, D. D., now of the First Pres
lbyterian church of st. Paul, but
formerly of Redwood Falls, The
Sunday in question seemed to have
been the day for the annual state
ment of the trustees, and the head
of that body gave Mr.. Sinclair a
high compliment by saying that
during Mr.. Sinclair's pastorate the
minister had succeeded in burning
a Sc, 900 mortgage on the church,
and also Wiping out an unsecured
Indebtedness of several thousand
/ dollars. The church was a little
shy on the minister's salary, the
i trustee said, but the trustees found
lit a very easy matter to stand of
Mr.. Sinclair, fact that is pretty
generally known by Mr.. Sinclair S
host of friends the country over.
The church, however, is in excel
1lent financial condition, and Mr..
sinclair will soon commence to reap
a substantial benefit from his great
work, which has already proven
wonderful from the spiritual stand
4 point.
The minister, in St. Paul pulpit,
/ is like he was in Redwood Falls,
preferring to take up some passing
event, ard giving it a biblical ap-
! plication, rather than to confne
himself to the strict theological dis
only more so, and as the
result he is undoubtedly a popular
pastor. On the morning mentioned
above Mr.. Sinclair spoke of a new
work on the bible, advising all of
his auditors to buy it, saying that it
impaired freshness to the inspired
work. He also touched upon the
dying condition of Queen Victoria,
saying that at Balmoral there were
many Of her pensioners: whom she
visited regularly during her life
time, and invariably took and read
the bible to those of them who could
not read. This faith in the teach
ings of the Book was the cause Of
4 her great success and that Of Eng.
land S.
Mr.. Sinclair seems to be more
easy in the pulpit than when al
Redwood Falls. His diction is clev.
err, his flow Of language easy, AND
his sayings decidedly interesting
and instructive.

Mr.. L. Redding, cashier of the
State Bank OF Lalnberton, and John
Olstad, formerly a prominent bust
ness man of Lamberton, visited the
house during the early part of last
week. Mr.. Redding also called al
the bank examiner office. Among
the examiner and his staff of depu
ties Mr.. Redding is considered one
of the most accurate bankers in the
State, and his institution liam
berton is considered to be a good
thing from the standpoint of an in
| vestment as well as an ideal bank
| ing house.

| The first returns by house com
mittee, aside from the reports of the
committees on legislative expenses
and rules, came from the Judiciary
committee. The chairman of this
important branch of the legislature
! is Capt. G. D. Allen Of Fillmore
county. Capt. Allen obtained his
military title from the fact that he
was at the head of company OF
State militia. He is a young man,
nevertheless, and is a worker that
4 the law makers are all proud Of.
Being at the head Of this committee
| his duties are all important, and he
/ is fully equal to the occasion of Civ
ing wise counsel and doing effective
| work. He is assisted by a group of
attorney representatives who will
lime up favorably with any similar
group in the State, and among them
are W. w. Dunn Of ST. Paul, J. Q.
Haugland Of Montevideo. G. w.
