surround his every day existence and
that these are so religious In their
character that they ought, to be given
full consideration. In the life OF
Lincoln he found much to commend
to the assembled audience to assist in
following out the life that he holds
should be recognized. MI. Hitchcock
made a strong presentation Of his
subject and it vas received In a very
sincere manner by the gentlemen who
gave him the closest attention. His
subject was in line with the aims
and ambitions of the Brotherhood
movement which has received such
a splendid start in Mitchell.
THE Field of the Brotherhood
was the toast assigned to Prof
John l.. Seaton, of the faculty OF
Dakota Weslean University, which
he presented in fine shape. He said
that the word brotherhood had q
strange fascination to the human
mind, and that it wrought a strong
tie amcas men. AS an Illustration he
referred to the ties that bound Da.
mon and Pythias and the sacrifice
that n made for the other in proof
of his devotion This sentiment, the
speaker declared, could be found to
exist in every day life, and touched
upon the recent incident of a hun
dred lodge members submitting their
persons to the physician from which
to graft the absent skin on the body
of a brother, whose life vas in dang
err He believed that in the Method
list church of this city he could easily
find one hundred men who would
willingly submit to the knife for the
purpose of saving the life of a mem
Der of that church. Prof. Seaton
said he believed in fraternal organi-
cations, but. that he thought the
Brotherhood showed a higher type
for manhood under God, the Father
as the guiding star. He declared
that there was room in the church
for men to come together and work
for the uplifting of men and he be-
lieved that this Brotherhood of
Mitchell will find room for the work
anticipated. There are great central
issues that are coming to the fore
and we should be ready to meet
them. He said that we should unite
in those terms of brotherhood to do
good and all should take "a part in
the city government to make it the
best possible. He declared that in
the city of Mitchell there was a wide
field of operation for the work of the
brotherhood in removing the eleven
places which stand as a menance ''tc
the best citizenship, and a trap tc
ensnare the. boys who are growing
UP. He felt quite sure that these
!, places We're not good for girls, eaadht
the expressed the sentiment that wha'
j was not good for a girl was certainf,
lot good for the boy-and his sen
timent was heartily applauded. HI
!, set forth the idea that the Brother
: hood must provide a place for tn,
i entertainment of the young man Who
, is a stranger in the city and is 1ef
. to his own devices. Some way mus
i be provided where the young mel
can come together for profit and tn,
:, church lis more or less responsible,
to provide such a home. He sale
he a fully satisfied that tn,
Brotherhood could not live on sen
timent and that to keep it alive ant
' active it should have some great tasl
, to perform. He urged the member,
to stand by President Ramer in al
that vas undertaken in the nam,
of the Brotherhood. Z
t, Toastmaster Ramer closed tn,
: speeches of the evening with a few
remarks touching on the hopes an.
: ambitions Of the Brotherhood, III,
! connecting the great work that cal
be performed by the union of tn,
: church and the Brotherhood. H
said he felt that 1t was a great re
. s%ponsibility in, being placed at eth,
{ head Of this organization and, that b,
might feel the necessity Of yieldin,
3 the place to another. y nj
. While the banquet was being sery
