made by the late conference:

day afternoon from Aberdeen where
he had attended the annual conference.
He and Mrs. Chapel were assigned
to Milbank for the ensuing year,
being taken out of Mitchell and trans
ferred to Watertown district. Our
readers will remember that Rev. and
Mrs. Chapel have been supplying the
M. b. Church here since the departure
of Rev. j. c. Harvey, and the people
of Salem were anxious to have them
assigned to this charge. During their
short stay in Salem they proved they
are workers and very capable young
people. Rev. Chapel is deep think

delivered some very able sermons.
The people of Milbank are fortunate
in securing them for the year. Rev.
S. j. Watson, who was for four years
located at Milbank, will be pastor of
the church here, and will arrive with
his family some time next week. He
is spoken of as a very able minister,
a cultured gentleman, and splendid
