RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
Touching the Death of the Late James
S. Campbell, Prominent Member
of First Methodist Church.

The following resolution was adopt
ed unanimously by the quarterly con-
ference Of the First Methodist church
of Fargo, at a regular meeting held in
the church Monday evening.
'In the death of James S. Campbell
Methodism has sustained a distinct
loss. A christian brother and faith
full friend has gone on before. He was
no less a pioneer in good works than
a resident of this great new northwest.
Born in the state Of Maine, he
imbibed the sentiments and inspira-
ton of Neal Dow. Living in Washing
ton and being engaged in matters OF
state when the immortal Lincoln oc-
cupied the White House, he learned
to see with a vision broad what was
best in government. II. was no wonder
that upon the soil OF this new state
he was foremost in the 70's and SOS
in aiding to ongraft upon our laws the
principles so ably expounded by the
men at whose feet he studied with
patient care.
"He will be missed in our state and
city, both of which he cherished to the
end with undated interest. No one.
however, can estimate his r worth
without knowing the details OF his
splendid home life, nor measure the
real secret of his power without un-
Outstanding his implicit faith in the
God he served, or the affectionate soul
for the church of his choice.
''It is because of these facts that we,
the members of the official board OF
the First Methodist church, of which
he was so many years an officer and
member, do here record upon III min
utes in permanent form our abiding
respect for his unfaltering loyalty to
duty: his exemplary life and char
acter as a citizen; his signal devotion
as a husband and father; and his
gracious deeds as a christian gentle
man and friend
