was for a five-year campaign. Con-
ceding that the movement brought in
new members for the churches. it is
evident that the falling off would have
been more serious without this assist
ance.
The problem of increasing church
membership is an acute one, as the
pastors and central bodies Of the vari-
Gus denominations will testify. Ma
t~erialistic tendencies Of the age must
be combated, though the tendency is
toward Indifference rather than skep-
ticism. The church itself is going
through somewhat OF a transitory
period, especially In the large cities
where the problem is to get in touch
with the masses who do lot feel at
home inside the walls of a church.
There are hopeful signs of a growing
spirit of brotherhood, however. and
those who obey the second greatest
commandment by loving their fellow
men are within the sphere of influence
Of the centripetal force of the first and
greatest commandment, which is the
foundation stone for the church itself.

WEEK.

To the National Cash Register Co,
Fargo, N, Don Jan. "a the mem
bers Of the National Convention of
Sunday School Associations, meeting
in Dayton, o., were served a lunch
con in the officers club at the Ma
tional cash register factory and after
ward were shown through the big fac
tory; the trip ending in the beautiful
hall Of industrial education, which is a
building in the factory group used for
industrial and lecture purposes only,
and here saw the lecture Nature, the
Factory and the Home, which is to be
given Thursday and Friday evenings of
this week in Fargo.
1t is q wonderful lecture and l earn
estly urge every person who is inter
ested in the improvement of the city
Of Fargo to attend. There is not q
person In Fargo, no matter what his
station in life but will be pleased with
1t and benefited by having seer it.
The citizens of Fargo and the park
board Of the city are surely fortunate
in securing this big free educational
attraction and / again urge everybody
to attend. l might add that H. J.
Heinz, the famous manufacturer of
pickles INC table ~delicacies, said in
thanking the National Cash Register
Co. for the courtesies shown the con-
vention: We have not only been roy
ally entertained but have also greatly
proited thereby, and we can go away

THE FARGO ~PosToFFlcE.

Those are very interesting facts that
The Forum is able to give to the pub
lie tonight, in the box on the front
page, which is devoted each evening to
something of interest about Fargo. In
fact while there have been many in
teresttng facts given in, those little
boxes recently, The Forum believes
that the information tonight is per-
haps the most important yet made
public in that way.
One of the most interesting items is
the one relating to the pay to North
Dakota rural letter carriers. Every
rural carrier in North Dakota gets his
pay by check from Postmaster Plum
ley. Last year there was paid out in
this way the sum of $5O7, 1O7. 30, over
half a million, and all this money was
paid out by checks on Fargo banks.
This one item alone is a big thing for
these Fargo institutions.
An item which shows with what eff
iciency and economy the affairs of the
Fargo office are conducted is the one
which states that the ratio Of expense
in proportion to stamp sales is but 80
per cent while the average expense of
the first class postofices Of the coun-
try is about 46 per cent. A saving TO
the government of 16 per cent in oper-
ating expenses speaks well for those
in charge Of the Fargo office.
The remarkable increase in total
cash receipts from all sources-an in
crease of nearly $500, 900 over last year
and Of more than 81, 900, 900 over five
years ago-shows how Fargo and
North Dakota have progressed and
prospered. All-in-all it is a very fine
showing for Fargo and one in which
the city may take a good deal Of pride.

FROSTED ORANGES.

While the potential evils of the FROST
ed orange may be a debatabIe subject,
no one can find fault with the officials
Of the local health department for TAX
ing a firm stand on the safe side and
refusing to permit any traffic in dam
aged fruit. Public health Is a matter
Of greater economic importance than
the California citrus crop, even if it
were possible to measure the value Of
health in dollars ana cents.
Naturally, men whose business and
profit lie in the production and sale If
oranges and lemons are inclined to the
belief that there is little danger TO
health in frost-bitten fruit, and they
will without difficulty find incidents
where the consumption of such fruit
has not been attended with any serious
S9nsequences, and it may be that in a
contest Of statistics they can make a
gooTS showing. But this does not dis
prove Nhe fact that the danger exists
that psRple ave been made i'll by eat
ing such fruit-and there is at least
reason to suspect that on occasion
death has Snsued as a direct or tndi-
rect, result Of eating it.
Under theae circumstances, confused
n inexsct as they may be, it is only
logical to take every precaution posi-
bic to protect the public, ever if the
public in its skepticism does not want
to be protected. The bargain instinct
10 30 strong in some that a low price
will tempt them to try dangerous ex-
perirnents with food. Others remain
in a strange condition of ignorance rs
to what 10 going on, and are ready to
partake Of spoiled fruit unknowingly.
These two classes pay for protection
and are entitled to it, even if they dc
not know when they are getting it
Experience in the enforcement of pure
food laws has shown us that We can.
not depend on the discretion and good
intent of the vendor. and that it is
necessary for officiaIs to step in anG
exercise their powers, with no regard
to the financial interests involved
One ma regret the loss California hal
sustained and still be insistent that NJ
frozen fruit be sold.

THURSDAY. FEB. 6, 1918.
A NEW SUPERINTENDENT.

The news that a new superintendent
has been selected to take charge of
the Fargo schools will come as a dis
3tinct surprise to many. Probably the
majority of the people of the city
who are interested In the schools were
not aware that any change was con-
tenapIated, although there have been
.runaors of a possible change for some
time. Undoubtedly the first question
that will arise in the minds Of the
people will be. why?
The six members Of the board Of
education who decided on the change,
admit that under the superintendency
of Mr.. Hoover, the schools have reach
ed q remarkably high state of efici-
ency. They agree that there is har-
'Enony and there is no popular demand
for a change. They claim however
that they have found a man who will
make still further improvements in
the schools.
The Forum sincerely hopes that
they are right. There would be little
reason to doubt that they are right,
were it not for the fac that there Is
such a decided difference Of opinion
within the board of education itself.
That there was a very decided differ
ence Of opinion. will be very clearly
seen by a perusal Of the unbiased and
complete report Of the meeting that
IL published in The Forum this even
in. The Forum had a staff representa-
tive at the meeting, the only news
paper man who was there.
AS will be seen from this account,
there was some decidedly interesting
discussion over the proposed change.
At times the argument was heated
even bitter. Some of the most in
fiuentisI members of the board believe
that q mistake is being made in MAX
ing a change.
The Forum has very high regard for
the opinion of the members who de-
cided to name Mr.. Slider, instead of
MI. Hoover. 1t believes tina they
have given a great deal of thought to
the selection, and that they sincerely
believe that the change will be for
the betterment of the schools. This
Of course TIME alone will tell.

Soldiers ENCOURAGED Lincoln

National Magazine: During the
darkest period Of the war when Pres
ident Lincoln made a visit to the army
he was very much discouraged and
downcast, and General Sickles de-
termined to cheer him up by giving
him a hearty welcome. The general
tells the story himself, in his w in
Irritable way and he even has the
grace to blush after it's recital. He be-
gan operations by ordering his men TO
decorate their camps and form arches
with surrounding trees, making the
company streets vistas Of white tents
peering through Of long-kav-
ed pines. As the president drove down
the line the boys began cheering,
throwing their hats and in every way
displaying cheerful and loyal devotion,
coming UP to him on horseback and
grasping his hand.
The tribute affected Lincoln greatly,
and the tears were streaming down his
cheeks as he reached the generals
headquarters. The great and enthusi-
astic demonstration of loyalty and af-
lection by the men who were facing
the bullets and taking their lives in
their hands touched him deeply.

ON The
MISSION field
THIS WILL FORM AN INTEREST
ING TOPIC AT THE MISSIONARY
CAMPAIGN - MEDICAL WORK
FORMS LARGE PART OF
ACTIVITIES OF MISSIONARY.

Doctors and medical students will
be especially Interested in the series
of lectures to be delivered by DR.. II.
w. Reherd of Waterloo. Ia, at the
World Campaign of Missionary
Evangelism. DIR. Reherd viii lecture
on the work of the medical mission
airy, the general subject Of his series
being The Doctor on the Mission
Field.
Medical students from the various
colleges r planning to be present In
a body at this series Of lectures to
learn of the methods used by the
doctors in combating disease in
localities where sanitary precautions
are absolutely unknown. The work OF
the medical missionary in Africa,
India and China has accomplished
wonders in the way OF preventative
medicine. In many places annual
visits of the plague have been entire
ly wiped out as a result Of q clean
ing up Of the malarial breeding places.
In part of India superstition hinders
the work of the doctor to a great ex-
tent and does in many Isl as much
harm as the disease itself.
These lectures will be fully illustrat-
ed, the methods Of caring for the sick,
before and after taking up sanitary
work in crowded cities, native and
modern methods of caring for the Ill,
will be brought vividly before the
audience. Dr. Reherd has made a
special study Of the work of the medi-
cal missionary around the world and
has himself personally visited many
of the great hospitals and medical
missions. He is an excellent speaker
and his subjects win not only prove
extremely interesting to the medical
pY-ofausiOu HIT Tn fha reneraI puh1ic

EnroIlments for the course OF
lectures continue to increase but the

CHURCH MEMBERSHIP GROWTH

Statistics as to the growth of
churches for 1912. as compiled by DR..
H. X. Carol, editor OF The New York
Christian Advocate place the increase
in membership at nearly 100000, a de-
crease OF 1880 as compared with the
year before. The number Of church
members he fixes at 3S,S75.537. Es-
tignating the ncrease In population for
the year at 1,S0o,o OO, the membership
gam Is nearly so per cent of the pop
ulaticn gain. somewhat in excess of the
ratio Of church members to total
pepulation, which is approximately as
5 10 is.
One reason why the decrease as
compared to the figures for the year
before Ii 30 noticeable is the failure 81
the Mer and Religion Movement to
bring about q gain, the prediction be-
ing that from this source there was to
81 an ncrease over the normal rate Of
100000. but ii Is stated Ahat this goal
