Neils Christensen Returns

After an absence Of seven years,
Nels Christensen has returned to
Blackfoot, and, to the surprise of
his many friends, he is preaching
Christianity in the most earnest man
ner. He goes wherever the Light
elads, and teaches whenever and
wherever he is directed. He goes
without purse or script, and does
The Lords work. He holds meet
ings in private houses or wherever
places of meeting are opened to him.
He was converted in Tacoma three
years ago, and has been preaching
ever since. He belongs to no de.
nomination, but breaches repentance,
and talks of the power of the Lord
and the blessings of having a clean
heart.
He was married last June to a
lady who is as earnest in the work as
himself, and tells us that she was
blind and seemed to be dying of con-
sumption, but was healed by faith,
In one night, and her health and
sight restored.
They are staying at present at the
home of Will Porter near The Irving
School building.

SCHOOL NOTES

We we're disappointed this week
when we learned that our gymnasium
could not be opened. DR.. Harrington
told us he would announce the date
Of opening later, Soon, we hope!
The County Superintendent of Ban
mock County, Miss Longhrin, was
with us on Monday morning. She In
spected the manual training work.
The High School boys are very
good to the girls just now because
Christmas is coming. The girls are
making high school penants in the
sewing class.
Several of the teachers are to spend
Thanksgiving In Pocatello.
Miss Buchanan of the Irving School
has resigned to take effect Decem-
Der 81.
Miss Fogarty has been transferred
to the Irving school from the Gen.
trail building.
The telephones will be Installed
In each building this week.
The "Blackfoot Broncho" is out.
Sufficient money was raised outside
the town to pay all expenses. We
hope the home people will subscribe
generously so we may make soms
profit. Single copies or subscriptions
can be secured at the drug stores and
at T. A. Hayes. Miss Gwendolin DAN
ilson sold 35 subscriptions to the
school paper. Rather good school
spirit!
The schools closed this week on
Wednesday noon. The Board thought
that we would be of some assistance
at home just before Thanksgiving.
Night school is closed for the week
but will reopen Dec. 2, 1907. A new
set will be started In bookkeeping
On that evening.

beet racks and threshing outfits. The

pecially pleased with his work on
grading the approaches to bridges

look forward with Joy for the privi-
lege to work their poll tax under
