Grace church, Kansas City, Mo-, Dec.
4, 1901, following his election by the
house OF bishops, to be bishop of
North Dakota to succeed Bishop Ed
sail, who had been elected bishop OF
the diocese of Minnesota.
The first toast responded to was.
We're a Happy Family, by the rector
OF the church of The Advent, Devils
Lake, Rev. A. E. Clattenberg. He
demonstrated very clearly that the
churchmen OF North Dakota form a
very happy family. The speaker paid
a very high tribute to Bishop Mann
whom he said was faithful to the end.
a man whom all can love. a deep
scholar, and always on the job"
Referring to what was best to give
to the bishop as testimonial on an
occasion like this, the reverend gen.
tleman said that he had suggested to
his people at Devils Lake the idea of
collecting an amount which could be
added to the diocesan endowment
fund, which he hoped in few years
would be large enough to insure the
making of an independent diocese of
| North Dakota.
| He thought 1t would be atgood thing
to call attention to the fund and to
do that he requested the bishop to
accept the check herewith from the
churchmen of Devils Lake
! Judge w. H. Barnett responded TO
| Friends and Neighbors and in closing
he said: sour guest tonight can be
certainly given clean bin Of health
| as q friend and neighbor, have known
| him such for over seven years, he has
borne our infirmities and has forgiven
our trespasses."
| The TTifles OF a Great Service was
spoken to by Rev. ]. X. Burleson
rector OF st. Paul's church, Grand
Forks. In paying very warm trib-
ute to Bishop Mann the speaker said
| that the greatest of works done were
made up of small duties. In doing
the service set out to be done 1t must
be realized that there Is the bishop
to lead and it was always safe &c
follow the example set by the bishop
Very happily, Mrs. George Hancock
reviewed the Woman in the Church
she said that next TO the home there
were no more important activities
than those to be found in the church
The field, it must be admitted, was
a wide one. She suggested the work
to be done as followers Of the Han
nahs, the Marys, the Marthas and the
Decreases. Mrs. Hancock made very
kind illusions recognizing the great
| work done over the state, in the cause
of missions, by Mrs. Mann. AS re-
suit of that work the women Of NORTH
Dakota had awakened to the cause Of
missions. She has aroused a greai
interest--in spite OF that chilling in
1 difference which is so very impressive
in the west. Very highly did thu
speaker refer to the devotion showr
by the wives of the clergy over tbs
state and their great accomplishment
in keeping the little bands of work.
