Among the difficulties that hinder arc.
the many demands, the local interests
the limited support to the pastor, post
poning the collections until late in the
year, and the feeling among many lay
men OF antagonism. or at least indiiier-
ence TO these claims. There is no ques-
tion but that a large part Of the officials
feel that it is the pastors business TO
get these collections. and if there is an
increase amount asked in some charges,
officials oppose it and pass resolutions
against the raising of these amounts.
These things compel the pastor many
times TO plan, and lift his collections
without the aid or knowledge of his Of
iicisls. The brethren have a pride for
causes. and therefore seek to meet the
apportionments.
"The pastors have made heroic ef-
fort TO meet the apportionments this
year They have taken collections pub
ically. and followed that with personal
appeals, and that which gives them
greatest sorrow, is that after all, when
they have done their best, and given lib

"Thc most earnest and faithful work

that our pastors have not been derelict in

the building and improving churches,
and this matter has occupied much of the
time, and thought of some of the broth
ren. The burden of our prayers, and
the uppermost thought in our minds, the
effort and aim of our preaching has been
to bring the church closer to Christ, that
we might teach transgressors the ways
of God and sinners might be converted
unto Him.

Grand Forks, Mar. 12.-Chairman
joseph M. Devine Of the progressive
republican campaign committee and
Thomas Hall of Bismarck, who has
accepted the secretaryship of the
committee were in the city yesterday
looking up suitable Offices for the
Headquarters to be established in this
city,. The progressives will carry on
a vigorous campaign throughout the
state during the coming season and
last evening Chairman Devine made
public the platform on which the pro-
gressives will enter the campaign in
North Dakota. The following is the
platform:
Progressive Platform.
We as progressive republicans re-
affirm our belief in, and our loyalty
to, the fundamental principles of the
republican party as laid down by its
founders, and exemplified by its great
men. These great statesmen and lead
ers ever sensed the real neds OF the
people, and made republican1sm
synonymous OF progress and human
liberty. We believe that men, not cor
porations, make up government OF
the people; that the fundamental doc
trine of equal opportunities for all
and special privileges for none
should receive the support fall
thoughtful and liberty loving people.
We commend the administration Of
Theodore Roosevelt, and more espec-
tally, his great achievement in arous-
ing the conscience of the American
people to a sense of civic righteous
ness. We further recognize in Will
liam H. Taft, the chief executive Of
the nation, a man of sterling integ-
rity of character and lofty patriotism
and we pledge him our loyal support
in his effort to crystalize into law the
Roosevelt policies.
Payne-Aldrich Tariff Law.
While we firmly adhere to the prin-
ciple of protection, we do not believe
that the promises Of the republican
national platform, nor the sacred
pledges of the people were fulfilled in
