"Brown, the Man,


The editor of the Sioux Falls Amer
lean Republic, Geo. w. Egan, in an
editorial written about DR.. Brown.
pays the following tribute to the for.
mer Sioux Falls pastor who is now
minister of Trinity church, Keokuk:
Reverend J. M. Brown and family
left Sioux Falls, last Monday for Keo-
kuk, Iowa. Dr. Brown, with his estim-
able family spent several useful and
profitable years in this city. The
city and all our people are better for
their having come and much poorer
for their having gone.
DR.. Brown was local pastor for the
Methodist people of Sioux Falls. I'm
der his wise guidance and enthusiastic
leadership the membership of the
local church increased over three hun
dred per cent. l firmly believe this
large addition to the Methodist con
gregation of my city, is largely If not
wholly, due to the personality and In
dividual efforts of Rev. Brown.
James M. Brown would make good
anywhere at anything. Had he chosen
his life work in law, medicine or the
commercial world large degree OF
success would have attended his ef
forts. He Is man who will ALWAYS
make his presence felt. He will never
get lost in crowd and will rise to
meet any occasion that confronts him
He is no coward. He speaks and acts
boldly and bravely whether In the
marts OF commerce or the temples Of
God.
All in all, Rev. ]. M. Brown, Is a big
whole-souled, kind.hearted fellows
man. Hence all adjectives are super
fuous. He is bigger than sect or de
nomination, his religion is universe
and his God is everywhere. Too wise
for narrow bigoted lines, he has read

Like Using Cream

In coffee and on cereals this milk is just like
cream SO rich that most people reduce it. In
cooking it gives to milk dishes most surprising
flavor.
