facts in very creditable manner.
Mr.. Burdick delivered a rousing ad-
1ress followed by short talk by Rev.
Miller. The Major then offered to
answer any questions that he could

WILLIsTON CHURCH CHANGES
- .s NAME

The Norwegian American Lutheran
Church of this City has changed its
name to the First Lutheran Church.
The change of the name was decided
upon at the monthly meeting held at
the church last week. This church
was organized under the old name in
1912. The change of name was due
to the great length of the old name.
