pleasure in reproducing it here. 1 was
not only deeply moved by the reference

the rights of his position.

with it, and then he and the much-em-

number under the jurisdiction of the
German presiding elder and the Sean
dinavian presiding elder. Our church
property is valued at 100000, and
we have 1890 Sunday school pupils.

1t is fact worthy of comment that
when DR.. Rule took charge of the st.
Paul district five years ago the twelve
English speaking Methodist churches
were in debt, some of them deeply.
Today only two of those churches are
in debt, and all are in a fiourishing
condition. Dr. Rule is essentially a
practical man. He has been foremost

Il assure you, it's quite prosaic" he
said. In the early days of Methodism
in this part of the country I presume
that my predecessors had some excit-

some lonely rides to take when the

we'll as his tall, thin figure, are further
points of resemblance to the great
tragedian.
What are the duties of presiding
elder?" repeated DR.. Rule, when ques-
toned at his home in Hamline, to which
suburb he has recently moved. "Well,
fancy they correspond very closely to
the duties of a bishop of the English
Episcopal church. The latter has his
diocese, the former has his district.
You know the duties of a Methodist
bishop are not confined to a diocese.
and in his absence from the district
over which the presiding elder has
charge the latter must perform the du-
ties of bishop as we'll as elder. 1 have
not jurisdiction over all the Methodist
churches in this district, for the Ger
mans and the Scandinavians each have
their own presiding elder. Besides the

To successfully fill the office of pre-

was wont to bring candy and share It
with friend of his named Kinney
but that day he did not go to school
and another boy who had several
times before taken the candy away
from him came up and asked for if
