free from any daot Of any kind. This
is n of the finest of the smaller
churches in the district. Has full
basement, furnace heat, electric lights
and is located in the center of the
resident district of this nustling coun-
ty seat. I'VE have a good parsonage
On the lot beside it. This is tle third
church building to Fro. Prior's credit
in the last six years, and much of the

his W hands.
The parsonage was finished at rBer-
! lin within this. year and Bro. Bedinger
not being satisfied, Launched a church
building enterprise at Sunnyside ard
will have it ready to dedicate soon af-
ter conference. We have long been,
bothered in getting a. suitable place
for our pastors to live in at Napoleon.
Bro. Benson forced the issue this
year and is now living in one of the
neatest ~parsonages in the district. The
Douglas folks under the leadership of
Bro. Mills also decided to quit paying
rent and provided a parsonage nome
! for the preacher. 1t is one of the best
houses in town. They also complet-
| ed their church and installed new
lights and put UP a bell. Douglas is
not only one Of the strongest churches
! in the district, but can boast of having
one of. the best plants also.
Eldgeley, under the passionate of Bro.
]. S. Miller, is just finishing a 100000

Brother Ponatn led in 2, building en-
terprise at Linton that makes our par

Bro. Hedtke put a. hew furnace in
the church. Hot water heat! and bath
room in the parsonage. Got all bills
paid. Will report $500 on benevo-
lenlces. In snort, awe. can hardly stop
when We realize what has been done
at Mandan. One Of the last places
visited before Conference was Makoti,
on the Eertlold reservation. This IS
part of Bro. Van Horns vast do
main" A church has been organized
here; lots bought. $1,000 raised for par
sonage, which will be built at once,
and they will pay $1,000 salary. This
is one of probably three strong
churches that will come out of Bro.
Van Horns two years work UP there.

7 never did believe in "doling'' out
little dribs of money, that disappears
and apparently does no good. The
Cakes folks dave finished their COM

Sunday school plant now. AT Robin-

in which to live, sc he finished the
basement OI Unc CuuiOll dAu iAouo IL

Turtle Lake, under BRO. Hammers
leadership, built practically a g par.
sonage. utilizing the old n in the
new building. Bro. Reid, in the midst
of sore affiction and many months in
the hospital, has still had time to
think of property interests and has
1ed in needed improvements on Il
buildings and grounds at Washburn,
l might also say that no interests .lave
suffered there and preaching has been
kert up by local preachers when Bro.
Field was away.
One of the most heroic things done
this year was the wiring out of our
