The meeting, last night, of the Geth-
semane Cathedral Mems club, In the
dining room of the commercial cruz
was one of the best attended n most
demonstrative Of genuine enthusiasm
and interest of all the gatherings since
the reorganization Of the club several
months ago. Over forty guests SAL

was we'll enjoyed and it was presloed
over by w. c.. Macfadden, president
of the club, at whose right was
Bishop Tylor, the guest Of honor and
principal speaker for the evening.
For nearly an hour Bishop Tyler
RECALLED the members Of the | with
a series of expressions Of impressions
he had gathered during the first o1n-
ciaI visitations he has made over the
| state during the two months ne a
| been in North Dakota. First he paid
a high tribute to Fargo Of which he
| was impressed with the splendor OF
the town, as q whole, and more m
pressed was he with the business
| ability and business capacity of the
men at the head Of her commercial
| enterprises-he had experienced busi-
ness life and so was able to speak on
more sides than by the mere book.
| Reverting to Impressions oyer the
| state, which he said was a great COM
monWealth now and with more
Investigation in agricultural enter
prises could, in a very few years, be
made much more greater. The tenn
permanent of the people appealed TO
him with much force. 1t Is not mere
ly lands and magnificent houses and
buildings which go to make a great
state or country, the greatness rests
in the kind OF people wh0 live there.
After the responsibilities placed upon
me by the church, I was very anxious
to meet the people of North Dakota.
1 have not been disappointed. He had
come in contact, during his travels
with many able people, good charac-
ters,. with a fine spirit Of candor and
manhood. II want to pay my re-
spects for never in my life have I
met a more genuinely cordial and bet
ter hammered people onyWhere."
Continuing the bishop said the vast
ness of the prairies was greater h a
he expected-the first scene OF then
was from the tower Of the high school
building at Casselton, the third day
after his arrival In the state. The PEG.
pie Of the state are great and the state
Is great materially. Closing the bishoT
had a heart to heart ak with the mer
before him on matters particularly re
lating to church and family duties. Fl,
referred to evils of the dissertation o.
the Sabbath, and the need or taxing
rest one lay in seven. He cited evil IN
stances OF the mad rush Is having OF
the nervous systems Of both men ant
women in ali walks of life. He warnet
his hearers of the dangers to the whit
race of people If the system of LIVING
was. not improved and quoted a higl
auth GRITTY on the growing destruction
of the family life il certain thing
were persisted in. The men Of tn
club could do their part In helping
matters and he told them in what wa,
their good works and influences woul,
be effective. The bishop was loudl,
a~pplauded when he took his seat an
