| Impressive services marked the
closing of Dr.. Charles w. Harris pas
torate with the capital city Presbyte
rian church, Sunday. AS a fitting
close OF one Of the most successful
pastorates in North Dakota, 80 per
| sons were taken into the membership
OF the church at the communion serv
ice, and 20, including infants and
adults, received baptism. The morn.
ing service was largely attended,
chairs being placed along the aisles
to accommodate the crowd.
For his farewell sermon Sunday ev-
ening DR.. Harris took for his subject,
"The Future and "May There Be no
Sadness OF Farewell When | En-
bark" He delivered a most fitting
sermon and spoke of the great har-
mony in the church and of the regret
Of leaving his many friends. Many
people were visibly affected during
his sermon.
Musical Program.
A special feature of the evening
service was the singing of the Bis
marck Male Quartet, composed of w.
l.. Miller, Henry Halverson, tenors;
A. j. Arnot and George Humphreys,
bassos. The quartet had charge of
the entire program of music, which
was featured by four numbers by the
quartet, duet by Mr.. Halverson and
Mr.. Humphreys and a solo By Mr..
Miller. Members of the quartet are
special favorites Of DR.. Harris and at
his request took charge of the mu-
sic. Their singing was a treat to the
large audience, which taxed the ca
pacity of the church auditorium.
Chairs were placed in the aisles and
in front of the first row of pews.
AT the close Of the service DR.. Har-
ris babe goodbye to his many friends.
He stood in front OF the rostrllm,
while the crowd filed down the aisles.
Gather at Depot.
Nearly the whole congregation
gathered at the Northern Pacific de-
pot yesterday to bid DR.. Harris and
his family farewell. The parting at
the depot was even sadder than at
the church. Their many friends were
10th to part with the pastor and wife,
who had meant SO much to them and
the church for the last ten years.
DR.. Harris will take up his work
at the Bozeman Mont, church next
Sunday, where he was given I, unar

month. Their address at their new
field is 516 So. Central avenue, where
they will always be at home to their
