which was Sunday was Narvik, where
we were anchored for the day. We
went ashore for a stroll. All the
shops were closed and Sabbath still

the terminus of the most northern
railway in the world and had every
appearance of being an industrious

BENTON SEMINARY.

The Benton Seminary will open
next Monday for the 19l3-19l4
term, and the prospect for a full
attendance is hattering. The new
compulsory law will have its bear
ing in this respect. The opening
and success Of the school depends
in large measure upon the efforts
of the teachers and the interest of
patrons. Our citizens, we believe,
are anxious for the school to be
everything that it is possible for a
good school to be, and we feel sure
this is the desire of every member
of the faculty. Such being a fact,
we see no reason why the school
should not have a splendid begin
ming. All hands ready. now for a
STRONG pull, a long pull and pull
altogether" for Benton Seminary.

RESOLUTIONS.

In the death of Mrs. Lola Agnew
O'Guinn, the wife of, Mr.. Hardy
O'Guinn, the Missionary Society
of the Nj. e. Church, South, at
Camden has sustained a distinct
loss. She had been loyal, inter
ested member of the society since
it's organization more than year
ago, and member of the Ladies'
Aid Society before the organiza-
ton of the Missionary Society.
Truly "sAe hath done what she
could"
While we were shocked and sad
dened at the news of her death,
yet we would not murmur or COM
plain at the Giyer of all good and
perfect gifts, but feeling desire
to express our sympathy to the
family and our esteem of the noble
character of our departed friend,
therefore, be it
Resolved, that we as a Mission
airy Society, express our sympathy
to the family-father, mother, sis
ters and the husband; that each of
us pray that the precious little one
bereft of a mothers love may grow
up into noble Christian manhood
be it further
Resolved, that a copy of these
resolutions be put on minutes, that
copy be sent to the family and a
copy be furnished the papers for
publication.

Miss Gormley in Recital Assisted by
" Cora Hanson-OIson Soprano.

Miss Gormiey in Recital Assisted by
Cora Hanson Olson, Soprano.
Fargo conservatory presented Flor
ence Roberta Gormley in her gradua-
ton piano recital, Thursday night, at
Stones music hall. Miss Gormley
was assisted by Mrs. Cora Hanson
Olson. The programme, a generous
one, was pronounced by all in the very
large audience which had assembled to
greet the player and singer a brilliant
recital.
Miss Gormley opened her programme
with BeethoVen's Concerto in G. minor
Opus IL, with full orchestral accom-
paniment. The rendition was mag
nl1cent, both by s~oloists and orchestra.
Perfect harmony existed between them
and every phase was pure, n dis
tinct, and the rhythm was SO correct
that no sensation of unevenness was at
all p~erceptible. This comment was
confirmed by many Of the skilled mu-.
sicians present at the recital. AT all
times the piano spoke out with re-
markable clearness and it was beauti-
fully supported by the combined mel
ody of h instruments. A. J. Steph-
ems a control of the situation and
has much to be proud of as conductor
of the Fargo College Symphony Or
clleStFa, winch is a part OIL the con-
servatory that is a department of the
college so that all were in the con-
servatory family.
The concerto was appropriately fol-
lowed by the rendition of MacDowell's
Polonaise in e minor, OPP. As, No. IL.
Miss Gormley played it with a bright,
clear touch and she appeared perfectly
at ease in it's Interpretation.
Following the programme down, Mrs.
Olson seemed to sing more sweetly
than usual Inc met all the exactions
of the composers she had chosen to in
terpret at this recital. She first sang
a group of two songs, Her Love Song,
by Salter, and The Maids of Cadiz, by
Delibes. In her rendition of the second
number the singer was extremely in
