REV. j. &. KUNDERT
MAKES HIS REPORT

Rev. J. E., Kundert of this city,
who is superintendent of the Super
ior district of the Methodist church,
has rendered the following report:
Dear Bishop and Brethren:
The close of last conference
found all the appointments on SUI
perior district filled with the excep-
ton of Exeland. Some time elapsed
before We secured Brother W. HI.
Titus for this field who, with his
young wife and child, moved into
temporary quarters until new par
sonage could be built. This is a
new and difficult field, but inasmuch
as the people desire religious SER
vices we are confident Of the ulti-
mate triumph of the Gospel on this
charge.
A new church was at first con-
Ftemplated but as the greater need
for the time being was a house, it
was thought best to build a parson-
age. A neat, seven-roomed building
will soon be ready for the pastor and
his family. The church will be built
next year.
At Weirgor, on the same charge,
a church is being built at a cost of
about $780, This is a field of
great opportunity.
Ladysmith has made a remarkable
advance this year. Last year it was
a missionary field, receiving $500
from the Home Missionary Board.
This year the charge is self support
