Rev. E. E.: Smith Speaks to Dick
inson Audience on Remarkable
Growth of Congregational
Sunday School and Church
Work on Missouri Slope.

The following is an extract from the
address of Rev. E. E. Smith, general
Missionary of the Missouri River associ-
alton of Congregational churches, deliv-
cred at the Dickinson Congregational
church Sunday morning.
Like all Gaul North Dakota is divid-
ed into three parts. The Red River
Valley, extends a hundred miles or more
west of the Minnesota line and is a
level, alluvial plain. The next division
extends from the Red River Valley to
the Missouri river. and is a. rolling
prairie. The third. part of the state
lines between. the Missouri river and
the Montana line, and is more broken
and has more rivers than the other divi-
siOns. 80 III
The part of North Dakota which am
going to call your special attention to
is bounded on'the east and north by the
Missouri river, on the west by Montana
and on the south by South Dakota, and
this for convenience we will DESIGNATE
the Missouri Slope. Previous to five or
six years ago. the ranchers had almost
undisputed control over this part of the
state. There were but comparatively
few homesteaders and they were nearly
all along the line of the railroad. Now,
if there is a homestead of value on the
Missouri Slope, not yet filed upon, l do
not know where it is. And the greater
part Of these homesteads have been taken
within the last three or four years.
In the last year and q half, four new
counties have been organized on the
Missouri Slope, Adams, Hettinser, Bow
man and Dunn. The Pacific coast ex-
tension of the Chicago. Milwaukee and
St. Paul Railroad, crosses three Of these
counties, and if rumors are true about

the organization of all three churches
and Sunday schools. The bible saws
Give. and it shall be given unto you"
1t is true that each weeks work has not
shown such large results as the one lust
referred to. but we have AVERAGED the
time we have been engaged in this work.
More than twenty new churches have
beeh admitted to the Missouri River
association. In this connection l should
like to emphasize the fact that in all
this work on the Missouri Slope l have
never in a single instance organized a
church or Sunday school where there has
been any other English service of any
denomination.
1t is my understanding that the oriain
of Congregational Home Missions on the
Missouri Slope was at Dickinson. DR..
E.. M. Vittum, nov president of FARGO
college, was the first minister to BEGIN
work in Dickinson. Two years after
the church at Dickinson was oreanized
the n at Glen Ullin was founded, and
the Home Missionary society aided these
churches annually for a number of years.
The wisdom Of doing this is seen in the
strength and influence and prosperity Of
these churches today. A week apo today
the Glen Ullin church dedicated a new
SIR. 600 brick edifice. finished and fur
nished in the most un-to-date wav
while the Dickinson church not only
has the honor of being the first but is
today the strongest church of our denom-
ination on the whole Slope.
The great crying need of our Mission
airy work at the present hour on the
Missouri Slope is more preachers to carry
on this work already i%naugurated. We
cannot get enough preachers because we
cannot pay them enough we cannot pay
them enough because it is not in the
Home Missionary treasury because, well,
this is getting too personal. Truly the
harvest is plenteous and the laborers few,
