Completes Three Years.
Today completes three years of ac-
tive services in the local Y. NJ. c.. A.
of General Secretary Wolf, who took
up his duties in this city just three
years ago today. The marked success
which has followed Mr.. VOLTS efforts
since he came to Fargo has been
noticeable to all who are interested in
Y. NJ. c. A. work, and the association
never was in such excellent condition
as it is at the present time. Many
great improvements have been made
i'll and about the building and every
department is running along smoothly.
He is receiving the congratulations of
his many friends on this his third
anniversary.
After EVangeiistS.
There is every reason for believing
that the Ministerial association, backed
by the Y. M. C.. A. will i'll a short time
extend an invitation to DR.. Gray, the
world known Bible student for a series
of twelve meetings in this city early
in the year 1913, and steps will lie
taken along that line. There WAS a
meeting Of the, ministers OF the two
cities this morning at the association,
and the subject was discussed. 1t is
hoped in time to secure the services
Of DIR. Torrey at some other time, as
he can not be had at this time.

There will be a meeting of the Of
fical board of the association this
