When Parents Are Urged to Visit
Schools and See What Work
Is Being Done.

All departments of the city schools
are busy making preparations for the
fifth annual Patrons Day and school
exhibit. Great interest has been mani
tested in these exhibits in the past
four years and each year the people
visit the schools in greater numbers.
The forthcoming exhibit bids fair to
surpass all previous ones in many re-
spects.
Superintendent C. C. Root of the city
Schools in speaking of the annual Pa
irons Day said:
Cooperation between teachers and
parents is one of the most essential
elements in a successful school. xThis
cooperation cannot be brought about
without an intelligent understanding
OF the workings of the schools. There
is no better way to bring about har-
monious action between teachers and
parents than frequent visits to the
schools on the part of the, parents.
1.-THE teachers and schQol officials
invite and urge patrons to make as
many visits as possible during the
year. Many parents seem to be too
busy to take a lively and active inter-
est in. the work of the schools.
An order that each parent may make
at least one. visit to the schools each
year and gain some little notion CT
the, work being done, one day or por.
don OF "a day is Set apart in each
school as patrons or visitors day.
Everyone interested in the schools is
invited to come out at that time.

REV. JONES IS

And Campaign of Righteousness L
Started at the Presbyterian

Church.

The widely advertised campaign OF
righteousness began last Sunday night
at the First Presbyterian church and
+, the service went off with a snap that
betokens an unusually successful ser
les of meetings. The people began
to assemble early and by 7:30 every
seat in the spacious auditorium vas
occupied and the ushers We're busy
.hustling in chairs to accommodate the
overflow.
The music promises to be a feature
g. the Campaign and the chorus lead

but declared that he. was never salts.
fled and hoped that before the end Of
the week the chorus would be sWelled
to n hundred and fifty voices. Great
Revival Hymns the book used by
EIlly Sunday in his Philadelphia cam
paign, is being used in these services
and a copy is handed each person as
they enter the church so that all may
take part in the singing.
The Re . Charles w. Harris, pastor
of the church, took charge dfthe pre-
;liminary service and introduced Evan
gelist Jones and his party. Il am glad
Jones is here,' said Mr.. Harris, "and
these meetings are no innovation.
Jones has been with me several times
before and ] am just as confident of
their success tonight as you will be
two weeks from tonight"
: Jones Gets Acquainted.
!. Evangelist Jones was not long in
getting acquainted with his audience

and in a very clever way induced the
ladies to remove their hats, which
they did cheerfully. Last nights meet
ing was a sort of get acquainted ser.
vice and Mr.. Jones explained to the
people what they might expect.
Church members are not permitted to

vice. &

Jones, Ito go and see them outside Of
The meetings, / do not purpose to have
them made targets of when they come
It hear me preach; no II will be en-
%barTassed who attends our services
Evangelist Jones said that he did
hot come to Bismarck to make Pres
byterians and that his thought was
not to see how many converts could
lbe tabulated in a giNen time. He de-
clared tina. the greatest need of the
world is not more churches, more
preachers or more evangelists. but
more love. Love never faileth,' is
the text used by the speaker and
may be found in the 13 chapter of LIST
Corinthians and the 18th verse. The
speaker said in brief: ~
of this world is ever going to be
saved, it will be saved through love
and kindness. God so loved the world
that He gave His only %ibegotten Son
that we might love each other, and
if love were taken out Of the Christ
ian religion, it would be a dead thing.
The church has failed to save men; our
theological discussions have failed, our
sermons fail, our schemes and plans
to save the lost have failed, but Paul
said, Love never faileth,' and the
church will never regain her oldtime
power until the efficiency Npf love is
recognized" The following is n of
the. incidents related by Mr.. Jones to
clinch the truth of his text:
"a half dressed and %shivering news
boy stopped Henry Ward Beecher on
the street one day and said, Say Mis-
ter, won't you please buy a paper?'
The great w~arm-hearted preacher put
his hand down in his pocket and gave
the boy a twenty-five cent piece for a
penny paper. then in a sympathetic
voice said: Are you cold, my little
4 was, sir said the boy, 'un-
til I met you Many a soul has been
saved by a smile or a kind word and
the world needs this love that warns
the hearts Of those we meet day by
day"
"A Politician Converted" is the SUD
ject announced for this evening and
the meetings will continue every light
for three weeks excepting Monday.
The public is cordially invited to at.
tend these services and those of every
creed and of no creed will be vel
