Held by Methodists.

Mrs. Laura A. Atkinson, of Frazee,

NJ. e. minister in Fargo. and not DR.. j.

service in Fargo saloon during the
early days.
In letter to The Forum Mrs. At

many Of the pioneer residents Of the
city says:
To the Forum:
Il saw an article in The Forum of
March 81, 1917. telling Of the death at
Pittsburgh, Pa, of ]. B. Starkey, Far
go's first Methodist minister, and !
would like to give you a few facts, as
l know them, concerning the First
Methodist church in Fargo.
Il came to Fargo June 22nd, 1874,
and was one Of the stewards of that
church for nine years. My husband,
E. Atkinson, owned a farm two and
one-half miles northwest of Fargo,
where we lived until he sold 1t to Mr..
George Erskine, then we moved to
Frazee, Mimi. where l now live.
ION the 4th day of July, 1874, met
the first Methodist minister Of Fargo,
Rev. John Webb, of an Iowa confer
ence.
He was introduced to me by G. ].
Kespey, on the platform Of the old
Headquarters hotel. l also met Mr.. and
Mrs. Alonzo ,Plummer. N. B. Pinkham
the same time, and il they are still liv-
ing, they will remember that 1t was
Rev. Webb that preached the first ser
mon in the saloon instead of Rev,
Starkey.
when Invent to Fargo Rev. Webb
had organized church society and was
holding services in a little room over
Andrew McHench's store. Later,
with the help of the people, he built
the first NJ. e. church on Ninth street.
1t was dedicated the following autumn.
THE next year while Rev. Webb
was attending conference in Iowa, he
was appointed presiding elder and Rev.
Starkey was sent to preach in Fargo.
II was there and heard his first SER
mon, it was in the church Nov. IA,
1875. l also attended the first prayer
meeting, being one Of the four atten-
dants. After the second year, Rev.
Webb went back to Iowa and Rev.
Starkey became presiding elder, doing
good work while he was there. IFS 49,.

North Dakota Association
Formed at Meeting in
Fargo Friday After
noon.
Paul A. VIK PRESIDENT
Outlines Purpose in Address
Declaring New Ideal in
Service is Aim.

Organization of the hospital asso-
citation of North Dakota was perfected
at a meeting held at the Fargo Com.
mercial club rooms yesterday after
noon. representatives Of ten hospitals
attending at the call Of Paul A. Vik
superintendent OF the st. Luke's hos
pital, Fargo.
It is expected that the organization
will be extended to include practical
ly every hospital in the statey that
plan being approved by the represen-
tatives present at the initial gather
ing.
The first officers follow:
President, Paul A. Vik, Fargo.
First vice president. Rev. J. D
Runsvold, Northwood.
Second vice president, Miss Anna
Roberts, Kenmare.
Secretary and treasurer, Aida Lang
Purpose of Organization.
"The purpose of this meeting is to
organize hospital association for
the state with the object Of promoting
efficiency and economy in hospital
management, to assist those who are
carrying hospital burdens, and in
every possible way to improve the
care of the sick" Mr.. Vik told the hos
pital representatives yesterday in his
duQrSSS outlining the purposes OIL the
gathering, and the proposed associa-
ton.
Improvement in hospital organiza-
ton, better schools for the training OF
nurses, more efficient methods Of A.
nancing hospital work, and, above all
the establishment of the best possible
plane of service for the patients, are
included in Mr.. Vik's outline Of the
purposes of the association.
Bitter Rivalry Unwise.
1.-THE very idea of active competi-
ton between hospitals, bitterness OF
feeling, and rivalry is unwise,, incor-
rect and destructive. 1t is contrary to
the fundamental reason for the exist
ence Of the hospital. 1 do not think
even for a moment, that any one OF
us entertains any ideas in that direc-
ton, but l mention it, simply to show
that it is the ideal of service to each
other, mutual cooperation, unity in
our efforts to increase the individual
efficiency of our institutions, devotion
to the principles of a public service
the maintenance of good faith toward
our patients; the recognition of these
ideals, say, will help us to solve the
problems now confronting US. If the
proposed organization will help, ever
in a small measure. to attain these
ideals, it will not have been organized
in vain -
