ture of Rev. and Mrs. Edwin W. Sharp
OF Brattlcboro with an article entitled,
The Way to Do It, published without

eve are surprising the aggressive
and successful superintendent of the
MONTPELIER district Of the Vermont
conference and his wife in publishing
tine above portrait. We do this, how
ever, desiring to draw special atten-
tiou o the splendid worl, of Mr.. Sharp
as % superintendent. lie has been q
man Of one work with all its varied IN
forests ever since he was placed upon
the district four years ago. His enthu-
Siasm and optimism have been a tonic
TO his preachers. His leadership has
been constructive, making for the up
building of Nlethodism within his dis

Herald in the churches of the Mont

experience the Importance OF the Her
aid as q PASTORS assistant, he formu-
lated n program for thorough can
vass of all the churches Of his district
in behalf Of the paper. Realizing that
I the best way to increase the circulation
of the Herald is by cooperating and
working with our field agent, Rev. L
II. Morgan, he planned his program re
this end, personally went with Mr.. Nor
gan, preached concerning the paper
talked about it, and went with the
pastor at times to present it TO oftieia
members and others. He placed the
hiferald, in fact and in short, upon thu
minds and hearts Of his preachers and
of the leaders among the laity, insist
ing that the circulation Of the papc
among the people was of Fundamental
Importance. In this he was himself ;
true disciple of Wesley. The result i

ceiyed from the Belgian government
IN Havre, France, by Pierre Mali, the
Belgian consul here. a translation ol
the message was made public yester-

Old Friends In
Politics, Die
Few Hours Apart

A most remarkable coincidence
in connection with the death in
Fargo on Wednesday noon Of z.
c. Cooper, former state insurance
commissioner, and the death in
Johannesburg, South Africa, on
the same day OF John Bray,
former state auditor OF North
Dakota, is the fact that these
men, old time friends m Grand
Forks. where they resided years
ago. were room mates for some
time while making their homes
there.
Mr.. Cooper and Mr.. Bray were
both prominent in early day
Grand Forks politics, before they
became prominent in state af-
fairs. During a portion Of their
early day residence in Grand
Forks, the men were bosom
friends, and they roomed togeth-
er for some time.
Their deaths occurred Just a
few hours apart, arr ii was a
remarkable coincidence, indeed,
that he Forum on Wednesday,
announcing tina death Of Mr..
Cooper in Fargo, also carried an
Associated Press dispatch from
Grand Forks telling Of The death
in far off Africa of his former
room mate and companion.
