Valley City Winner in
Sunday School Contest

Valley City won in the contest with
Williston. At first it appeared that
Williston had won, but checking up
of the records showed that six new en-
rollments had not been counted for the
Valley City Sunday school.
The record of the Valley City Con-
gregational school Sunday was as fol-
lows: Attendance 429, offering, $19,
perfect classes 17-this included the
entire primary department and many
of the adult classes; new scholars en-
rolled 20. Williston had an attendance
of 4O1, Offering of $26.34, 10 perfect
classes and new scholars to the num-
ber of 67. This closes the two months
contest, Valley City beating by II
points. Each of the schools has more
than doubled during the period. For
the next eight weeks the schools will
keep in touch with one another each
week. The interest on each side will
be to note how permanent this rapid
growth has been.

Large Audience Heard
Prof. Wel1lett's Addres:

The address on Sunday evening at
the Congregational church by Prof. w.
M. Wemett on preparedness" was lis
tened to with interest by large audi
ence. Prof. Wemett is very able
speaker and an interesting one,
and his address was we'll received.
Although all his hearers might not
share his opinions relating to the sub
ject, yet none could fail. to see the
logic Of many Of the ideas advanced.
The question is q deep one, involving
many interests and there are many
points plain to these who are in po-
sition to know the needs Of the nation
that the casual reader or observer
knows but little about, and it is only
through the thorough discussion OF
these subjects that right and just
solution Of the problem can be
brought about. Whether everyone
agrees with Prof. Wemett or not, it is
certain that they have had arguments
brought up before them which they
cannot lay lightly aside, but which
prove food for thought.
