Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1909-10-16

Our plan has been to use every means
possible that human nature demands
and our ideal for the new year, who
ever may have to do with the reall-
cation of it. is a series OF special
meetings on every charge, AID r;ore
house to house visitation. The high
ways and hedges are numerous in
North Dakota and only the personal
contact of the minister will move
those that dwell therein to turn to-
ward the message of the church. The
results of the revival method would
be much greater in individual cases
and the number of meetings more
numerous if our conferences would
protect the worthy men engaged in
such work by refusing to grant the
evangelistic relation to men who are
known to be failures both in their
pastorates and in their daily influence
upon men. This relation should new
er be used to secure an honorable
release from a dishonorable pastor
ate. To do this defeats us in more
ways than one.
While the majority of the brethren
and their families have been grac>
iously spared from disease of SER
ious and protracted nature, still some
have suffered. Brother Beer has had
a season of severe suffering due to
a visitation OF the affliction that

the scene of more or less denomina-
tional rivalry, and though in accord

still a persistent effort has been
made at both points by outside par
The comfy idea seems to work best
for most Of us when it works our
way. Rogers has been supplied the
greater part of the year by Rev. T..
L. McCutcheon. What sti ength and
outlook we had at Surrey has been
practically dissiGated by the Nazar-
enc church organized in that section.

This field offers little opportunity for
doing work of permanent nature
Before closing this paragraph
should mention the fact that during
the summer Bro. Allen desired to be
released and permitted to exchange
fields with Rev. G. H. Quigley, Of
Fairmont, Mimi, with the apprival
of our bishop the same was granted
and Brother Quigley has since been
serving us at Cando in a manner
most satisfactory to all concerned.
At this point l would like to say
that much of our difficulty in caring
for the work on such fields is due
to lack of financial support. Per-
sonally / do not have the heart to
ask men to stay on some of these
fields and endure the sufferings and
humiliation that must necessarily
come to them and their families when
there is but scanty means with which
to pay bills and that available only
at the end of the year. This may be
contrary to the interests of the
church, if it's mission is merely to en-
ter fields and build churches, but it
looks to me as if it is in keeping with

Presiding Bishop and Brethren: IN
making this my second report there
is no occasion for Boosting that we
have met the enemy and they are
ours but we do feel that our grasp
of the situation is, from our view
point at least, more satisfactory than
a year ago and that the efforts of the
year are not entirely in vain.
In the plan of work for the year
have broken away somewhat from
the older customs. 1t has been my
aim to visit each charge three times
and hold the First and Fourth Quar-
terly conferences. The Second and
Third conferences, have held only
when matters Of special import
seemed to necessitate it. In addition
to this four Sunday School Rallies
and a District Camp meeting have
been held. The former were held at
Cando, Lansford, Darlington and
Darcy. DR.. Edgar Blake was secur-
ed to assist in these and, in mis- I'M
ique and able manner, rendered us
most valuable service. While the at

tendance was not altogether what we
had desired, still a new impulse was
given to the Sunday School work
in many of our charges. These Raj
lies grew out of a conviction express
ed in my former report relative to
the Importance ,of Sunday School
work and in accordance with the
same, I have ON every possible occa-
sion sought to increase the interest
in such work The Camp Meeting
and Rally was held in MinOt the lat
ter part of June. This was the first
meeting of it's kind ever held in our
section Of the state. The attendance
was good, and all obligations were
properly cared for. DR.. Henry yOs-
from was the evangelist in charge
and through his strong and sympa-
thetic messages he turned many a
new or deeper devotion to our Master
and at the same time brought him
self into high esteem in the minds
of the people. It is hoped that the
committee having charge of the ar
rangements for another year may be
able to secure his services again.
During the year three churches
have been erected, three are in pro-
cess of construction and subscrip-
ton for another is being taken. Two
Of the completed ones are located
on the Columbus circuit, one at Moo
nan and the other seven miles south
Of there. The third is at Westview,
eight miles north Of Buford. The
last two named have not been dedi-

one year and see the obligations SO

qualified in a moderately acceptable
manner for leadership. II this is not
to be done and the benevolent spirit
of the people at large not sinned
against, then the missionary boards
Of our churches must get together
and make it impossible for one
church to compete with another
through the amount of outside as
sistance that it can command on
fields which should be self-support-
ing. Such a procedure would con-
tribute much toward the comfy idea
that is now being considered by the
various denominations of the state.
While l have sometimes longed for a
little more financial strength than
was available for some cases, still
am glad that by virtue of the plan
of our board we have been unable
to secure larger sums for the work
on these older fields. On the other
hand I do hope that the time may
speedily come when we can have at
least $500 for each circuit in the sec
ton that may fairly be classed as
missionary.
The number Of our fields opened
during the year is small. Previously
referred to the church that is being
built at Maxbass. We served the
town from Lansford when it was
first started, but while we were tenn
porarily off duty, another work was
begun and until last summer were
inclined to assist in that. At that
time, for reasons we need not men
ton here, sixteen families united in
a petition to me asking for a Metho-
dist church. After strongly urging
a renewed effort to work with the de-
nomination then in the town, and
failure to get any cooperation in this
respect. I needed their cry and ap-
proved a proposition whereby Broth

keep the body fed and warm when
there are no funds in sight. When
the day of renewed activity in rail-
road construction appears an advance
in establishing permanent work can
be made and not before.
In regard to the benevolences we
may not come up to the expectations
of those who judge us from dis
lance, but so far as effort is concern
ed I think it is safe to say that the
brethren of the Minot district are not
behind the very chiefest apostles.
Certain it is that there has been no
disloyalty in this respect. More than
one brother has pressed the claims
and RENTED money to outside causes
when for months there had not been
money enough in hand to keep his
table properly set. If there were
room for any more items on our re-
ports, I should like to see the mem
bership divided into two classes, the
resident and the nonresident in or
der that we might eliminate the feel
ing llat members whom we do not
have in our working force, tend to
make our assessments unjust. In
many instances one-haif of the re-
ported membership which serve as q
basis for our assessments, has long
since left the charge. Having NOV
ed into some section where there is
no church of their choice they desire
no transfer and the minister in
charge hesitates to strike them off.
They have a right to be counted in
our statistics, and it seems to me that
such plan would save both the
people and the pastor from embar-
assment The shifting tendency of
the population of this state makes it
hard for us to have any assurance of
a permanent sort in planning the
various interests. A year may start
with a strong corps of workers and
as has been the case, in less than six
months have very few of them left.
In many instances UNCONVENTIONAL
bias makes our appeals of none eff
feet Our brethren who may report
some s.ortage can do it with clear
conscience so far as effort is con-
cerned.
During the year many special evan
gelistic meetings have been held and
the results have been fairly good.
Most of the brethren are coming to
feel, however, that the greatest
amount of good is to be done through
personal work outside the pulpit. In
this way the greater results have
been secured, and personally, I feel
that more attention should be given
to this kind of work. In saying this
do not mean to suggest that there
is no place for the evangelist or
series of meetings. There will al
ways be a place for such work,
though we may not look for our
greatest and most permanent results
AS we have engaged two
men to spend their whole time on sc
Minot district for the coming year,
and they have already begun their
work. One of these brethren is Rev.
W. A. Dunnett, Of the New England
and the other is Rev. A.
