Bishop Edsall had urged Mite hell
to continue his work here, asking him
to combine with it the work of
ministering to the Episcopal church
in Alexandria. The field at Devils
Lake was an inviting one In many
ways, but after careful consideration
Mr.. Mitchell thought it best to re-
main here.
Mr.. Mitchell will have plenty to do
now that he has had the alexandria
parish added to that of Sauk Centre
and Melrose. But he says he will
give it fair trial and thinks he can
handle all the work.
Mr.. Mitchell began his work at
Alexandria last Sunday when he
preached there in the morning. He
will continue on this schedule until
Christmas time. The evening service
will be held here. The trains run so
that Mr.. Mitchell goes to Alexandra
Saturday night, breaches Sunday
morning and returns on the Sunday
noon train in time fordinner at home.
Beginning the first of the year he will
preach here Sunday mornings and i'm
Alexandria Sunday evenings. He will
alternate each month. The train
service is very convenient for him at
present. The Wednesday service at
Melrose will be continued as at pre-
sent.

The average elapsed time. for instance.
from the time a messenger is called in
