favor among the laymen.
Salaries.
have urged the layenI to put sal
aries where preachers could live, at
least as we'll as the average citizen
Very few of our preachers will get
less than $500 and house, while many
of them will get a thousand or more
ind it easy to get salaries up where
they belong where we have revivals,
and where the preachers are the right
sort, and a true prophet of God. The
people do not want to pay for any
thing that is dead. They would rath-
er bury it, So the matter of salary
is largely in the hands of the preach
ers. The right men will be taken
care of and cannot fail.
Camp Meeting.
The jamestown camp meeting con-
tinues to grow in power, and is the
rallying ground of the entire district.
Thirty-twO of the pastors attended the
meeting this year and caught the fire
that burst into revival on many Of
the charges when they went home.
Evangelists Huff and Ruth and
Singer Johnson had charge of the
meetings. Upwards of 200 protested
conversion, reclamation or sanctifica-
ton. The free will offering for camp
meeting purposes on Friday afternoon
of the last week amounted to 81 AGO
and forty tents we're engaged for next
year. before the people left the meet
ing grounds.
This is a Methodist camp meeting,
operating as much under charter
from the state of North Dakota, with
s. A. Danford as president and J. G..
Morrison as secretary. No falaticism
or come-out-ism is tolerated and all
the evangelists unite in saying that
we have one of the cleanest and best
camp meetings in the United States.
We have our district meeting at the
same time as the camp meeting.
After the camp meeting we held
number of tent meetings over the dis
trict with good results. The pastors
in many cases helped each other,
while some employed evangelists with
good results. Evangelists Johnston
and Bennett did splendid work on the
district last year and will be with US
again next year, as will also Miss
Banning and probably some others.
Changes.

plies on the frontier and as helpers
to the pastors, as l have added field

cults in order to hold them until l

changes on the frontier have been
numerous and trying, but among the
organized changes most of the preach
ers remain, as Bishop Mcintyre plac-
ed them a year ago. Rev. Louis Ma
gin, who was pastor of the church
for six years and wrought so grandly
in building this building and building
up the Kingdom of Jesus was trans
ferred to Lacrosse, Wis, in June, and
DR.. A. L. Schultz appointed to Bis
marc. Rev. J. M. Taylor was appoint
ed Sunday school missionary by Bish-
op Mcintyre in May and Rev. c. E.
Van Horn was appointed in his place
at Mandan. These adjustments have
proven happy all around and all of
