Woman's Faith Not Only Removes

Church Debt.

A well organized, thoroughly alive
church is a power for good in any
community. This is one of the CON
illusions which all of the invited
guests of the jubilee banquet of
last Friday evening must have car
ried home with them. At 'searly
candlelighting on that evening
about l75 men and women gathered
together in the western annex of
the big M. ID. church and indulged
in greetings in which old fashioned
handshakings formed conspicuous
part. Many of the older ones in the
company remembered the time when
this part of the church building,
now used for Sunday-school, prayer
meeting and social purposes of the
church, was the whole thing as a
church home for the Methodists of
this city and vicinity, instead of a
minor fraction as now, with alarger
room below fitted up for socials and
suppers, and the main auditorium

said that her associates probably
thought she was more capable in
the line of roasting than in toasting.
Nevertheless, she proceeded to say
only the incest things about the
Ladies Aid officers, and showed
her ability to bestow bouquets in
very pleasing way.
The best wine was kept until the
last. Mrs. Bowers, the secretary,
and member of the original COM
mittee consisting of Mrs Ring, Mrs.
Bowers, Mrs. Chadderdon and Mrs.
A. E. King, which secured the
pledges of 80 ladies to raise $40
each, told the story of the progress
and discouragements of these ladies
and the ultimate triumph OF the SO
ciety in paying the entire $1,000 in
just one year and two days.
The ladies who responded to
the,roll call of Mrs. Bowers were
more interesting in their stories Ct
their struggles and triumphs in
raising their $40 apiece, than the
most eloquent Of the men people who
preceded them. The jubilee supper
ended just little short of II clock

in the storm and stress period of
'93, after the congregation had
started to build, the church was
confronted with the alternative of
defeat or taking up the burden of a
big debt, and chose the latter. After
carrying the burden of interest for
a number Of years, a movement was
started under Elder Stevenson for
paying off this debt and in this
movement the women of the church
had led, rather than assisted, the
less optimistic brethren,
DIR. Palmer was ruthlessly
dragged out by the postmaster as a
sort of assistant to the undertaken,
out came up smiling to respond for
the Epworth League. The doctor
was determined that Elder Lutz
should not do all the punniDg for
the evening, aud started out by say
ing that this branch of church work
was something like the native wom-
an of certain tropical islands, who
had little on her in her own coun-
try. The Importance and magni-.
tude of EpWorth League work was.
strongly presented, and Dr.. Palmer
|intimated that the older members
would do well to give the League a
little more encouragement by their
interest and attendance.
The Church and the Business
Man was responded to by n. w.
Cobleigh, who suggested the inn
portance Of applying business meth
|ods to its spiritual as well as finan
cial affairs. He thought the church
as well as the prudent businessman
should at frequent intervals strike
a trial balance, and learn what their
real condition was.
Supt. a. j. Jones advanced some
excellent ideas in regard to the
Church and the School. : He pro-

of welcome to the guests, and of
special commend dationfor the women
whose faith and self-sacrifce the
pastor and the other members of
congregation we're proud to honor.
He thought the men of the church
had succeeded as well in catering
to the appetites Of the company as
he could do himself, judging by his
past essays in patching it, in the
absence Of his wife. He then called
for a certain lawyer in the company
named Bowers, and charged the
banqueters to get their salt ready.
Judge Bowers spoke to The Wom-
en- OF the Church, and brought up
the condition Of women before the
time OF Christ in contrast to their
present honored condition, not only
as rulers OF our homes, but as wor-
thy competitors of men in many
avenues of business as well. He.
saw no reason why the 10th century
might not see the business of the.
country in the hands of the ladies.
He attributed the success Of the
congregation in lifting the church
debt to the magnificent. faith and
persistent work of the women,
whose confidence and bravery had
been an inspiration to the more
timid and distrustful men.
Mrs. Lola Chadderdon was next
on the program, her, theme being
The Men of the Church. Isl Mrs.
Chadderdon playfully rubbed it into.
the men of the church who had.
first been inclined to ridicule the.
proposition Of the ladies to raise
81 900 on the church debt by their
own exertions. Their skepticism
had been changed to commendation
however, after the sisters had.
proved their faith by works. Mrs.
Chadderdon closed by expressing

nearly twice as large adjoining,
separated only by sliding doors,
giving total seating capacity suffi-
cient for any ordinary emergency.
Best of all, these rooms are not only
comfortably seated and furnished,
but the whole business, within and
without, including the adjoining
parsonage, is now practically clear
of debt.
After the company had been given
time to get comfortably mixed up in
a social way it was called to order
by Rev. Lutz to listen to a vocal Sc
lection by Miss Ethel King. Fol
lowing this the guests were invited
to march down stairs to the banquet
tables, and responded with the
cheerful alacrity which that sum
mons usually inspires in people
possessed with real Minnesota
appetite.
The problem Of comfortably seat
ing nearly 200 people at tables at
once, with room for the movement
Of walters between, would have
been impossible Of solution in any
other church in this city. Even
here it required management in the
arrang cement of the tables, but this
was admirably accomplished without
uncomfortable crowding. At the
call of the pastor the whole company
sang ! Praise God from Whom All
Blessings Flow by way Of grace
before meat, and sat down to the
serious work of the evening. The
young meE who served as walters
distributed the oyster soup which
constituted the first course with the
ease OF professionals. Then came
one or more great legantly Drowned
turkeys for each table, with the ac-

her belief that the life and example
Of Christ was sufficient warrant for
Christian men and women every
where to attempt large things in
His service.
B. Robinson was punningly in
troduced as the late judge Of repro
bates, his subject being The
Church of the Past. = He told how
the church was started in, 1867 by
the late Elder Swift, services being
first held in a little building on Sec
ond street. Later DR.. Hitchcock
donated the half block of land on
which the old parsonage opposite
The Commercial House was built in
1870. In 1876, after having used
the old school house now occupied
as a residence by j. p. Schmidt. for
several years, the congregation
erected the church which preceded
the present building, the lumber
for which was brought by steamer
Up the Minnesota. Rev. Galpin was
the pastor at that time. In 1893,
the congregation having outgrown
The old church, steps were taken to
erect the presert building, Rev. T..
q. Hanscom being then pastor.
Toastmaster Lutz said that s'The
Church, Present, Future" would
be responded to by one of royal
lineage, he being every inch King.

Mr.. Robinson left off, and said that

duced a reprint of the New England
Primer of the eighteenth century to
illustrate the domination of the
church in the education of that day,
and incidentally showed that both
educational methods and theology
had made large advances during
the past 100 wears. The church
could help the schools by not only
furnishing consecrated teachers,
but also by showing greater appre-
citation and respect for the teachers
and their work. incidentally, Mr..
Jones expressed the opinion that
Sunday yschool methods are so years
behind the times, and that a graded
course of study and systematic
teaching was needed in our Sunday
schools.
Music as an Essential of Public
Worship was assigned to Mrs. J.
B. Robinson. Mr.. I4utz introducing
the topic with an anecdote in which
the average church choir was char
acterized as the ''war department of
the church. = Mrs. Robinson S
paper showed in a charming way
that the choir of this church was
not only on a peace footing, but that
its harmonies were appreciated by
the congregation.
r. b. Ring was introduced by the
toastmaster as brother with a
fond ndnsss for trading horses: His.
toast was the LaityS and the For
ward Movement. 8 Mr.. Ring got
even with Brother Lutz by acknowl-
.edging his Indebtedness to the elder
for assistance in his last horse
trade, bnt said that he understood
his toast to be Lame Men and the
Forward Movement Mr.. Ring
proceeded to point out a few ways in
which the membership were inclined
to be lame in aiding that movement.
Equal Lay Representation in
General Conference" was treated
somewhat humorously by J. R.
Lankard, who concluded by saying
that he thought it a good idea when
the church sent minister to the
general conference to send million
aire laymen along to keep him com
pany.
S. G. Peterson asked to be ex-
cused from extended response to
the toast, "The Church and the
Public Press. - He said that he
might have been better qualified to
talk about the political pie counter,
or the city council. At the same
time, he had always thought that a
newspaper with an audienceof 5000
readers had an advantage over the
most eloquent minister with an au-
dience of only 40 or 80.
III. NJ. Hitchcock thought that the
"Churchman and Politics must
have been given him on the theory
that men could generally talk most
on subjects about which they knew
the least, and on account of the late
ness of the hour made his response
very brief.

ter, who compared che old-time plan
