He Has Built Up Mission
to Self Supporting Parish

church two years ago had member
ship of about 200, although, owing to
the lack of system in keeping the
church records, the figures are unex-
act. To-day it has an enrolment of
312, with promises of future growth,
and a membership of 200 enthusiastic
attendants of the Bible school, as this
denomination calls it Sunday school.
Stinson as Organizer
In addition, the church workers are
thoroughly organized into various
bodies concerning themselves with diff
ferent fields of activity, these organi-
zations including an efficient Ladies
Aid Society. Endeavor Society and a
body known as the Christian Women's
Board of Missions.
The Rev. Mr.. Stinson was educated
for the Presbyterian ministry but
never took orders in that denomina-
ton, having, from an investigation of
the belief of Alexander Campbell,
founder of the Church of Christ.
adopted II rs his own. The Church OF
Christ was founded in 1909 in the
western part of the State, near Wash
ington. Pa. when the Rev. Mr.. Camp
bell was, according to the history of
the church, censured by the governing
board of the Presbyterian church for
admitting to communion persons OF
other sects residing in rural districts
who desired to avail themselves of the
opportunity not otherwise presented.
1t must he remembered that church
policy n century ago was considerably
narrower than at present and condi-
tions which gave rise to the new
denomination. would hardly be pos
sible now. However that may be. the
new church spread rapidly and is now
said to be the third largest commun-
ion in the United States. The Rev.
Stinson was graduated from the Uni
versity OF Toronto and from Knox
Theological Seminary in the same city
and took a degree of ID. ID. at the
Christian College, Dallas, Texas. His
first charge was at Bethlehem. Mo-.
from which place he removed to Ce-
dar Rapids. Iowa and then to FL Do
RADIO, Kansas. These three charges
occupied twenty-one years of his life
His Fourth Pastorate
During his pastorate in these three
places he baptized 2.166 persons. The
present paStorate Is the fourth that
the Rev. Stinson has entered on dur
ing an active and earnest life. and an
indication of his energetic methods has
already been CLEANED from a perusal
Of the foregoing history of what has
been accomplished during his two
years stay in Harrisburg.

THE EEL WORM
AGAIN BOTHERSOME.

|. A. Strosnider returned Tuesday
morning from Sacramento and Oak
land, Cal, where he had been to in
terview State Horticulturist Cook, of
California regarding the holding up of
couple of carloads of poatoes ship
ped from this valley to Sacramento.
1t seems that several carloads of
spuds have been held up in California
lately on account of being infected
with eel worm, and a quarantine has
been placed on spuds from Lyon,
Washoe and Chruchill counties. Mr.
Strosnider recently shipped to Sacra-
mento couple of carloads of extra
fancy potatoes and they were held
up. He went to see about it and
found that probably dozen potatoes
in the lot had sight showing of the
worm on them They were accepted
by the house shipped to but the
State authorities would not let them
pass. However, it was explained that
the spuds were only for eating pur-
poses and not to be planted, and the
lot was allowed to go to Oakland.
where Mr. Strosnider found another
buyer. There seems to be little dis
cretion used by the authorities in Cal
iforhia The officials are numerous
and are obliged to make a showing
to hold their jobs, consequently are
making all the trouble possible for
Nevada spud raisers.

given the election to Newlands by ~
votes, it is appearing, where election
contests have been made, that errors
wise, that gave Platt the worst OF 1t.
In Lincoln county, on an Assembly
man contest. it was shown that Platt
gained II votes. In Storey county,
where there was contest on Com
missioner fight the ballots run over
gave Platt 2 more votes than were
formerly credited to him. There is a
contest now going on in Elko county
and another in Nye county and it is
believed that Platt will gain in both
of these places. AT any rate, he has
cut down the Newlands' majority so
far given to 20.
