CONVENTION
IN 1907
N. D. Baptists' Convention Ad-
journs Sunday Evening
Appointments Made.

The North Dakota State Baptists'
Convention and Ministerial union
which has been in session during the
past three days, came to an end on
Sunday evening. The convention was
probably the most successful and most
interesting of any of that denomin-
alton ever held in the state.
The closing days exercises began
with public worship at 1920 a. m. in
the first Baptist church. Rev. C. A.
Cook of Bloomfield, N. j.. preached a
powerful sermon on Christian Stew
ardship." Special music was rendered
by the choir and by Mrs. DR.. Pierce,
who sang THE Plains of Peace" The
main thought in Rev. Cooks address
was that God is the owner of all pro-
perry in the earth; that man is his
guest and as such has the right to use
the property but not to abuse it or
make use of it solely to his own selfish
ends.
In the afternoon at 3 o'clock there
was another service at which the
speakers were Rev. A. J. Brastad of
Lisbon; Rev. w. H. Walker, Langdon,
and Rev. S. Bachelor. Cooperstown
At the evening service there was
first a program of songs and special
music by the choir with solos by MIR.
Paul Gladstone and Miss Pauline AL
len. These were followed by an adj
dress on the Effect of the Law and the
Operation of Grace" by Rev. Jos. p.
Jacobs of Kansas City. Rev. Jacobs
is powerful and practical speaker.
Resolutions.
At the evening service a resolution
of sympathy for DR.. r. NJ. Shanafelt,
former Baptist missionary for this
state, now lying very i'll at his home
in Huron. Mich, was introduced by
Rev. L. b. Crosby of Crystal and
adopted by rising vote of the con-
gregation.
The choosing of jamestown for the
1907 convention was practically unan-
1mous. Rev. Tilden, pastor-elect of
the First Baptist church at Fargo, was
selected to preach the annual sermon
and Rev. Casper H. Frye of Calvin, N.
d., was named as alternate.
