Plans Formulated
To Make st. Paul
A Real Art Center

st. Paul bids fair to become an arr
center If the plans now in embryo are
brought to perfection, for the Gargoyle
club, composed of the architects or the
city, is soon to have a clubhouse which
will be center for everything that
makes for beauty in street and avenue,
in city and suburb.
B. w. Day, president of the CLUB; Guy
E. Wiley, vice. president; and c. G. Avi-
son, secretary and treasurer, and HI. A.
suliwold. chairman finance committee,
have completed the negotiations for the
purchase Of the church building on the
Corner Of Ramsey and Pleasant ave-
nues, formerly occupied by the Beth1e-
hem Presbyterian church.
Transformed into a clubhouse, 1t is to
be used by the most artistic group of
men in the city for the purpose of Gre
ating greater interest in st. Paul the
"city beautiful" More than this, the
Gargoyle clubhouse will contain unique
features which will attract the atten-
ton Of those interested in the unusual
in art.
It is planned to have courses Of lee
lures, possibly classes, for young men,
all OF which will disseminate ideas of
art throughout the city and help to
train future directors of the social and
civic interests of the city along the
paths of the artistic.
Tor Of the building and group of art
list members of the club will vie with
each other in the effort to produce the
distinctive, the unusual and the unique
in the arrangement of the club, so that
the building in itself will be a creation
of art to be studied. as we'll as a real
center for progress in st. Paul.

Rev. A. Lincoln Shute, of Edgeley, N.

anniversary Of that organization. The
pantomime was beautifully given by
seven young ladies. Misses Bernice Ges-
tie, Lydia Haeffner, Louise Weis. June
Iva McCracken, all in Grecian COS
tunes.
Rev. Mr.. Shute referred to the pan
tomime in eulogistic terms at the be-
ginning of his lecture. The speaker, in
his introduction, also referred feelingly
to the fact of his daughter, Miss Vivian
Shute, formerly a Fargo college stu
dent, being now a missionary in Brin-
daban. India, said to be the most wick
ed city in the world, and voiced his
gladness that a daughter of his should
be engaged in such work.
Rev. Mr.. Shute's subject was an un-
usual one. Cobbling Shoes With a
World Vision. and his real theme was
the life and work of William Carey, the
first person of any denomination to go
as a missionary to India. 1t was some
time after Mr.. Carey got to thinking
of the foreign mission field before he
got anyone sufficiently interested to
support the enterprise financially, and
at that time he was cobbling shoes in
England, hence the title Of the lecture.
The extension of Christ's kingdom was
his consuming ambition, however, and
at last he was sent to India, where he
served in the mission field forty-one
years before he died. when we'll along
in years.
The speaker last evening said that a
few years ago in Washington state he
had the privilege of meeting Mr.. Car
ey's great-grandson, at a Baptist state
convention, and that the latter is said
to very much resemble his ancestor.
This first missionary was of the Bap-
fist faith, and quite number Of Bap-
lists were in the audience last evening.
Mrs. F. H. Taylor, president of the For
efgn Missionary society under whose
auspices the lecture was given. presided
at the meeting. Various members of
the society served as ushers Quite a
liberal silver offering was given.
Rev. Mr.. Shute returned this morning
to Edgeley.

Another Poem BY
Miss Beulah Amidon
Published This Month

In The suffragist of March appears
another poem written by Miss Beulah
Amidon, well known in Fargo, the fam
lily home. This poem, based on Miss
Amidon's personal experience in help
ing picket the White House in recent
weeks, is entitled. On the Picket Line,
and reads thus:
The avenue is misty gray,
And here beside the guarded gate
We holdIour golden blowing flags
And wait.
The people pass in friendly wise;
They smile their greeting where we
And turn aside to recognize
The just demand.
Often the gates are swung aside;
The man whose power could free us now
And bow.
Sometimes the little children laugh:
The careless folk toss careless words,
And scoff and turn away, and vet
The people pass the whole long day
Those golden flags against the gray
And can't forget.
