One or two of his pitchers have been disappointments thus far, but they are expected to round to when the warmer weather comes along.

Kamm is only a youngster who is having his first taste of fast company. A natural born play CT, he is expected to gain steadiness as time goes by.

necessitated frequent visits to Glas-
gov, and in addition to his minister
ial work, he had much to do with the
founding of various hospitals thru
out the state among which the Ma
hon-Hoyt hospital numbers. During
Bro Vans visits here he made many
friends who learned to know of his
sterling worth and integrity, to love
him for the unselfish motives which
prompted him in his work in advanc-
irg the interests of the kingdom and
for his intense interest in human af-
fairs.
To serve his God and his people,
Bro Van came into the wilderness
as years ago, and from the time Of
his arrival until his last illness pros
trated him, he had been going up
and down the state, preaching the
gospel. He was a brave soul and left
the impression of a great work on
the state which he helped to win for
civilization.
As an evidence of the fact that
Bro. Van has gained firm hold on
the hearts of the people, thousands

DR.. w. w. Van Orsdel, beloved
minister of the pioneers, went over
the last long trail, in the Deaconess
hospital at Great Falls, on Friday
morning, December 10, 1919.
The Rev. w. w. Van Orsdel was
born March 20, 1848, near Gettys-
burg, Pa, the youngest of seven
children. He was reared on a farm,
received his education in the COM
mon schools and rounded out his
scholastic training with an academic
course. He became member of the
Methodist Episcopal church at IL
years of age and pursued his studies
with view to entering the ministry.
He worked in the oil fields Of Penn
sylvania as stationary engineer
when young man, occasionally
preaching as layman. In 1871 he
began active work in the church,
holding many revival meetings. In
March, 1872, he started for the west.
He came to Montana on Missouri
river steamboat from Sioux City,
and began work here on his own re-
sponsibility, as the first evangelist in
Northern Montana.
At that time there were but four
Methodist ministers in the territory
and his Jealous work attracted much
attention. He was shortly afterward
made missionary for the church in
this state, and as such travelled into
nearly every section, soon becoming
a favorite with miners, gamblers
cowboys and all with whom he cam.
in contact. He rode thousands o.
miles on the hurricane deck of {
cayuse, preaching the gospel in ev
|ery COW town and mining camp ane
in cabins remote from civilization.
In 1890 Rev. Van Orsdel was made
presiding elder Of the Great FALL
district of the church. When the
Northern Montana mission wa.
founded in 1892, he was made super
i intendent. In 1897 he was made
presiding elder of the Helena dis
trict, serving two years, and was
then reappointed to his old post il
Great Falls.
For a number of years Bro Van
as he was called by those who lovee
him best, filled the position as super
lintendent of the Methodist church
in the Milk river district, which ha.
