The Gully Advance claims that
the dancers at "Oklee is getting

The Gully church held its annual
business meeting Tuesday, members
of the congregation being present
from Eden, Wanke and Trail. Among
other business matters brought up
and disposed of at the annual meet
ing was the acceptance of the resig-
nation Of Rev. o. M. Stensgaard as
pastor from congregation, which in
cludes Trail, Wanke, Clearbrook,
Gully, and Griebrok. And while this
part OF the program was not unex-
pected, nevertheless Rev. Stensgardis
departure from Gully will be much
regretted by all who know him, and
the pastor who can follow in his foot
steps and render services as we'll and
as faithfully, through sunshine and
storm, has got to be a good one in
mind and body, and will be hard to
be found. Rev. Stensgaard has been
here eleven years, and how we'll he
did his duty let all who know of his
labors and services tell. He is a CAP
able man and speaker, has high
Ideals OF both public and religious
services, is inspired with clean mo-
t1ves, gifted with commanding tai
ents, and last but not least, he is a
gentleman who strictly attends to his
own ps, and qs, free from prejudice,
never guilty of speaking or harbor-
ing evil ideas against those who be-
long to another religion or church
different from his own belief. That's
something that cannot truthfully be
said of all preachers Of the gospel.
He will depart in the spring for Fish
er, Mimi, where he has accepted the
pastorate of two churches, one at
that place and the other in an ad
joining town.-Gully Advance.
Rev. A. Stensgaard will be remem
bered for a long time for the great
and wonderful pioneer service which
he conducted in Clearbrook and it's
here can be counted among the hosts.
His strong and pleasing personality
backed by his faithful attention to
duty, regardless of conditions. won
for him the honor and respect of all
good people and upright Americans.
We grieve with Gully and it's neigh
bors the coming loss of a good clean
citizen, and splendid family, but re-
joice with Fisher and its splendid
community upon their fortune in Sc
curing this pastor to serve in their
midst, for their gain Is our loss. May
his labors among them be the means
of producing much good to his con-
gregations, community, himself and
family.
Peter Vale returned Saturday eve
ming from Duluth. where he spent
the week end making purchases for
his fathers large hardware estab-
lishment at this place. Peter was
we'll pleased with his trip, which will
undoubtedly result in much good and

ever increasing trade. He states that

A large number of Clearbrook peo-

ious business transactions.
Emil Anderson of Hoist is busy
planning the fine large lot of lumber
owned by Ole Stevenson in Eddy. Mr.
Stevenson, sons Henry and Emil have
certain business transactions in view
which they intend to spring later,
when time is more appropriate and
conditions favorable for action. Here
is to your success boys, and may your
project be launched in time to head
off any similar movement which may
not come up to the standard, and
would only work to the detriment of
the whole community and all con-
cerned, both directly and Indirectly.
Talk about your cold weather.
