In the WARREN SHEAF OF January
"a appeared a communication from
G. l.. Macumber, OF ROLLS, Mimi.
1t appears hat MIR. Macumber feels
aggrieved berause he was not paid
in full of his expectations in putting
out fire. In writing this | do not
say but that we ought to be paid for
putting out fire, but at the same
time we should remember that we
are working for our own benefit as
well as Tor the county, and again if
we are good citizens we ought not to
expect our officers to exceed their
authority which they would have
done if they had paid every fire
claim in full. We fought fire here
about s days without citing any
pay. yet we feel satisfied and very
thankful that the fire left as much
as it did. 70 me it looks very I'M
wise to jump onto our officers the
way Mr.. Macunlber does. He is not
satisfied only to let us know how
bad our ofticers are, but he is very
anxious for the world at large to
know it too. am personally &C
quaillted with all our county officers
and wish 10 say that a better set
OF officers than Marshall county has
at present is hard to find, and we
ought to feel proud of them ..

OUR CORRESPONDENCE
The News of the District as Gathered
by the Sheaf's Corps of Wide
Awake Correspondents.
NeWfOlden.

wv .~A>~SAAs
The third month of the term of
school in the Bjorsnes school-house
Is past. The average daily attend
ance was nearly 3S. During these
three months there has been so little
hardness that this item has been
omitted from reports to the SHEAr.
Those perfect in attendance during
the month are Milla lille, Anna l..
Bjorsnes, John Ihle, Christ. Ihle and
Carrie Finstad, the last named hav-
ing been perfect also last month,
though the fact was overlooked in the
report to the SHEAF. Milla lhle's at
tendance is perfect through the three
months. S. Garborg has resigned,
and the term will be continued by
another teacher.
The religious meetings, reported at
times not long ago, have grown in
interest. Last Sunday, Missionary
Bergstrom preached in the Mission
house, on the text, 1.-The Disciple
That Jesus Loved,' and number of
passages and scenes showing the in
innate relationship that existed be-
tween these two. He made it plain
that the apparent partiality of Jesus
Tor this one disciple was due to the
affinity of these two natures and
spirits, and also to the fact that John
was most intent on listening to him
and taking in his words. All were
called upon to occupy a similar in-
innate place at the breast of Jesus.
The portraiture of the scene when
Jesus on the cross referred his
mother to John as her son was to me
very touching, and nothing has ever
come nearer to convincing me of the
deity Of Jesus. There, at the mo-
ment when he sacrificed himself to
illustrate by example his teaching of
pon-resistance to evil, he was able to
give to his mother one to fill his place
as her son, TO me, Bergstrom's
presentation of his theme seemed like
a product of perfect art, so simple,
so unObtrusive, SO delicate and COM
passionate in it's treatment of the less
favored disciples, even of Judas, that
| was daZzled. And when after him
a young man, Ole Moen, of Spruce
Valley, rose and spoke in a voice
most pleasing to my ears, so clear, SO
soft, his enunciation SO distinct, his
speech SO fluent, and SO earnest and
full OF enthusiasm, | seemed to see
behind the kind and earnest faces of
these two the spirit Of the Divine
Master, dis if He had taken possession
Of them and were addressing me
directly. Two other speakers, w
Englund, Of ST. Hilaire, and Ed.
Myerson, of Thief River Falls, added
their share to my spiritual edification,
and | felt that what | had received
was enough to support me in the
darkest hour Of trial. The fine sing
ing by Mr.. Engiund, assisted b,
Miss Clara Moen, and by the accom-
paniment of three guitars and man
dolin, had likewise been treat to
me, SO that | left that meeting in
state Of feeling that may truly b.
called rejoicing or even ecstacy. In
the evening, the same speakers, with
S. Tunheim and W. E. Mack added,
addressed large meeting of young
people at the same place, and the
same singers, with Misses Mary Tun-
helm and Christine Ekman added,
entertained them with singing and
music.
