No Time To PRAY.

DR.. Mold tells an interesting story
OF the days when billiards. used to
visit South Dakota. II was during
the great blizzard OF 1883 when :
couple OF BeIoit men were in Canton;
the great storm coming up while they
were in town. They started for Be-
lott. believing that no danger lurked
In the swirling snow-laden gale, and
when about half way they became
somewhat confused, couldn't see road
or fence and seemed lost. The small
er man OF the two, whom we will call
Smith, was piously inclined in every
day life and said to his companion,
whom wewill call Ole for short, 'sbroth-
er, l fear the wrath of the Lord is upon
us, l can feel death lurking In the
elements, let us pray" Ole was and
still is a giant physically, mentally,
and otherwise, answered: Pray, III,
let's get out of this and pray whom Ne
get home" and they got home

BARACA CLASS BANQUET
Baraca Class of Parker Methodist
Church Has Second Annual
Banquet

Parker.-The second annual banquet
of the Baraca class of the First Metho.
dist Sunday school, was held in the
church parlors last Friday evening
and was a great success in every par
ticular. The rooms were very taste
fully decorated with a great profusion
of bunting and flags and this with
white covered tables, presented a
pretty picture. The class and the
men and guests gathered in the audi
torium of the church and at 6:45
marched down to the dinning room
led by the pastor of the church. The
ladies Of the church put on the ban
quet and it was one of the finest
spreads that the church folks have
ever had. The program was probably
the best one that has eve: been heard
at any similar gathering. Superin-
tendent w. II. King acJed as toast
master and introduced the speakers.
The Rev. DIR. Shepherd was the first
speaker and brought his greeting and
congratulations to the class and
friends Then the Hon. O. l.. Rranson
of Mitchell was introduced and gave
a very fine address on .The Knights
of the Twentieth Century" This
was mastery effort and was very
uniquely yinterspersed With well select
ed music rendered by the Branson
male quartet. Mr.. Branson's ad-
dress will not soon be forgotten by
those fortunate enough to have heard
it. After this address DR.. j. w.
Potter of Sioux Falls was introduced
and delivered one of the finest ad-
dresses chat it has ever been our
privilege to hear. His subject was
George Washington, Patriot" The
music for the occasion was furnished
by the Branson quartet, and the uni
versal verdict was that they we're as
good as any lecture bureau quartet
that mas ever visited Parker. About
one hundred men were present, and
all voted the Baraca class. which has
an enrolment of over one hundred
fine entertainers.
