GIDEONS PLAN Big
CAMPAIGN OF STATE
w. D. Gillespie Back From Meeting as
Grand Forks on Saturday,
Bennett Coming Here.

w. d. Gillespie of this city, state
secretary Of, the Gideons, was called
to Grand Forks Saturday to consult
with the Gideons in regard to their
activities during the coming two
weeks and also arrange for the meet
ing of the state camp which will be
held at Grand Forks. March IL and IL.
The meeting was attended by quite a
number of Grand Forks Gideons and
all preliminary arrangements made
and they are enthused in regard to the
coming campaign and will without
doubt have a. very successful meet
ing.
J. C. Bennett will arrive in Fargo
on March and spend three or four
days here with the local camp inter-
viewing prospective members and put
ting the work of the Gideons' order
before the business men Of the state.
From here he goes to Devils Lake
on March and Z. spending two or
three days there.
Arrangements are also under way
to have him visit Minot and Bismarck,
If he can devote extra time to this
state, but these arrangements are not
fully completed yet. as he may have
to return to Chicago from the state
camp at Grand Forks.
There is a great enthusiasm among
to the coming visit of Mr.. Bennett and
it is hoped that a large number of
travelling men from the different cities
visited will be added to the ranks of
the Gideons and that effective work
can be carried forward during the
coming year along the special lines
that the Gideons have undertaken.
Any travelling man in the state who
makes that his chief business and has
been a member of a church for three
months preceding the date of his APP
plication is eligible to membership.
The state secretary will be glad to get
in touch with any such anywhere in
the state or they can apply to the
local members in Grand Forks, Minot,
Bismarck, Forest River. Velva or Far
go.
The Gideons have undertaken to
place a Bible in every guest room Of
every hotel in the United States and
have covered a great part of the terri
tory, but there remains a lot Of work
to be done along this line and the
coming campaign Of this state among
other things is to assist in this work
and bring the work that the Gideons
are doing more prominently before the
people of the state.

special music by a male quartet.
Evangelist Baitinger spoke on The
Prodigal Son.
Sunday morning the evangelist had
for his text: Hebrews S:2, How
shall we escape If we neglect so great
salvation?" There was a large and
appreciative audience to hear this
wonderful sermon. which was given in
a most convincing manner. Rev. Mr..
Baitinger is powerful speaker. and
his work has been thorough and mark
ed with success.
The evening services were especial
ly good. The church was filed to its
capacity, and the evangelist preached
a most powerful sermon on the text:
THE harvest is past. the summer is
ended. and we are not saved" y
jeremiah $500. Among other things,
Rev. Mr.. Baitinger gave the following
points: Jeremiah was man called
by God. The name jeremiah means:
God throws. Friction in church and
business life comes because men call
themselves. instead Of having God call
them. God is willing to lead you in
the world of business. Summer time
is the time of grace. Harvest time is
the harvest of souls. The harvest time
should be a time for thanksgiving.
The kind of new thought one should
read is the one found in the Bible,
and the one that makes one say
Halleluiah. The harvest time is a
time of prayer. You never lose out
in prayer, but you Away win out
Down on your knees you are a match
for anyone. The summer of grace is
a time OF limitation. God speaks to
you. and you cannot get away from
these responsibilities. Your time of
grace is limited. The summer of grace
means complete and full surrender
This religion is a Hallelujah religion
1t cannot be analysed, you must
experience it."
There was special singing by Lam
eta Perschbacher, and a duet entitled
''Me." written by Commander
Eyangeline Booth. sung by Miss Es-
Their and Samuel Teichmann.
Rev. Mr.. Baitinger left Sunday night
for his home in st. Paul, and after
few days will go to Prairie Farm, Wis,
where he will hold a ten-days' revival.
Rev. Mr.. Baitinger endeared himself to
the Evangelical congregation here, as
well as the people in the community,
and we are all sorry to see him de-
part.
Some Of Mr.. BaitingeTs pointed
statements are:
Every time you testify for Christ.
you hit the devil; every time you fail
to testify. he hits YOU"
If you have been reared in a home
where the family altar Is maintained,
you have special reason to be thank
full"

OVER 70 CONVERSIONS
AT THE zion REVIVAL
Great Success Marked Two Weeks
: Evangelical Meetings Which
Closed Sunday Night.

I The revival meetings which have
been in progress at the Evangelical
church for the past two weeks, came
to a close on Sunday evening. These
meetings not only benefited the con-
gregation, but many local and out-of-
town people attended and took an &C
tive part. There were over seventy
conversions as a result of these meet
ings and twenty nine united with the
church. Rev. Mr.. Baitinger had charge
OF the ceremonies. After this impress
sive service Rev. c. w. Zech, the pre-
siding elder, administered holy COM
munion. A very good testimony fol-
lowed, and while all sang, When the
Roll is Called up Yonder. I'll be There,
a chautauqua was given. While the
people were bidding the Evangelist
farewell, the choir sang, God be With
You Till We Meet Again.
Saturday evening was young peo-
pies night, and it was pleasure to
Evangelist Baitinger to see twenty
five young men file in and take their
places in the front pews There was

little bank with its paid up capital Of

somewhat and now the capital stock
is written at $4,000 ana the surplus
at 1000 with the furniture and fix
lures worth easily $4,000 quoted in the

very peculiar but it simply means that
