The sixth annual session of the
North Montana Conference which
was held last week in Glasgow, came
to close Sunday night. Taking it
all in all it was one of the most en-
joyable and profitable sessions in the
histsry Of the conference. Practical
" every town in the conference was
represented, many Of the ministers
wives being in attendance also.
Much important business was tran
sacted and several changes were
made. DR.. w. W. VanOrsdel, bet
ter known as brother VAN, who
has been superintendent Of the Great
Falls district, was succeeded by Rev.
| j. a. Martin, for several years pas.
! tor of First Church, Great Falls.
Brother Van is the superintendent of
] the new district, which will embrace
! Il large territory in the northeast part
of the state. Milk River district is
the name.
1t is with deep regret, indeed, that
we see Brother Van conclude his
work among MS Though we may rN-
pect to see him now and then, yet his
many friends over the circuit will
sorely miss him. Perhaps no man
finds so hearty IL welcome in the hun
dreds of homes and churches as the
faithful steward. Surely he will be
held in tender remembrance by all
and heartily welcomed back by all ut
any time.
Rev. j. \. Martin. the new district
superintendent, comes TO MS with \
splendid record behind HIM. Besides
having served as pastor of many OF
the most important charges in the
state, including Livingston, Lewis
town and Great Falls. lie has serv-
Ell officially Oh various boards con-
nected with Montana Wesleyan Cni-
versity, Great Falls Deaconess Hos
pital, and in many other capacities
where sound Judgment and keen dis
elimination are Of vital Importance.
Rev. Martin is quite familiar with
the conditions ettecting the interests
of the church, such familiarity hav-
ing been gained by wide experience
and observation: thus being enlmi.
nently qualified III this respect for ef
icient service in his new office. lit
is Il man of high ideals, Il deep relig
ious experience, full of faith and thu
Holy Spirit. OF il sweet spirited dis
position and Il tireless worker him
self, he will no doubt prove \ worth,
leader of the hosts, putting ever!
man upon his honor to do his best
AS he comes among us, let MS rs pas
tor and people show our loyalty il
J every way and give to him our tulles
condolences.
