not only talented, but also an &C.
con,plished musician of the first rank,
among those who make their way in
the world by their ability along this
line. We believe Miss Loes has great
future in the Gospel music world, if
she continues in this vocation, as she
is still in the teens, and has much
time left to reach the top. AS SOLO
list, too, she always makes good, and
the climax Of the songs she sings is
reached with ease, but with power,
showing the reserve that she always
has under. control. Surely the respon-
slbility is great to be blessed with
those talents.
The Burlington church has increas-

The awakening and revival has never
been equalled in this part of the coun- |
try, according to the testimony of the
oldest settlers. Twenty-Five adults
were baptized Oct. 26, and over sixty
taken into the church on that day

Evangelist, of Fargo, N. OAK, a man
of power, concentration, ability and
zeal to work, sin season and out Of |
season, to reprove, rebuke, exhort
with all long suffering and doctrine"
In several testimony meetings, since
the evangelist has left, men have told
of the marvellous change that has !
come to their lives thru their accept |
ance of Jesus Christ as Savior, and
their determination to follow Him as
Lord. Several times during these
meetings the church was filled to
overf1owing, after having used, also,
all the chairs of the local Miners
Union, which were kindly lent by that
organization.
Rev. Fred w. Christ feels very
much encouraged to go on with the

meets at $3.50 p. m. Sundays and the !
latter at 1880 D. m. Tuesdays. We
bespeak great work for this local
organization. Church services Sum-
