Rev. j.. E. Booth will go to Huron
tuesday next to attend a meeting
of the arbitration board of the church
federation of this state, of which
board he is a member. This meeting
S held TO decide which of two de-
nominations has the prior right to
erect a church building at the new
| own of Lebau in the western part of
the state. Two denominations want
to enter the field when it is well
understood that the field is only large
enough for one. According to the

only one church cin be established in
such a field, and that by the denomi
nation first on the ground engaged in
active work. This is the proper way
to handle such matters and will
tually result in good to church work

helpless in bed for several months.
He is now able to walk a little with
the aid of a cane. While here he
walked from the Parry home W. town
and back. He is a very happy man,
and well he may be for it was on
sidered for several months that his
case was hopeless and that all that
was left for him was to lie in bed and
await the end of a very slow death
rhe many friends and old acquaint
ances of MIR. Forbes rejoice with him
that he is so far recovered as to be
able to get about and take some
pleasure in life, even if he shall never
regain the full strength enjoyed be
fore the accident.
