Ilon with the Farmers clubs. ~ h
Adolph Gustafson told about the
annual meeting Of the Farmers Nut
ual Insurance company of Clearwa-
ter county, recently held at Bagley.
This company is writing insurance in
townships Of Jones and hammers.
It appears that this company has
had a remarkable growth during the
last few years, Its risks being way
above the million mark. The COM
pany is now on a sound financial
basis with good surplus OF money
lin the treasury. The company is
organized and run by the farmers,
and they try to keep the expenses
down as low as possible, and, they
are certainly doing it. A little while
ago the farmers potato warehouse In
.Solway was insured in this company
for $1,000 and the total dues are
only Slipper year. 49, - %<is,,s! ~.
Mr.. Pfughoefts spoke about the
boys and girls club work. This will
be taken up again in the near future.
The matter Of sending for a car
load of dynamite. was taken up. A
list is left at the Solway State bank
where anybody wishing to get in on
this can sign up for the number of
poundg that they wish to buy. r
Our club sent for a carload Of dy-
Mantle last year; it saved us lots Of
money. There is no reason why this
can not be done all over the county,
If one club is not strong enough to
handle whole carload aDbne, then
two or three or more farmers clubs
could go together 50 that they could
buy a carload at the time and thus
get It for the rock bottom price. =. H.

EVANGELIST ALDRlCH =
AT BAPTIST CHURCH
Evangelist A. Il,

Evangelist "A. Lee Aldrich preach
ed a great message, at the Baptist
church last evening upon the theme,
'tWhat is a Christian" He explain
ed that mere moral living and COM
mon honesty does not mean that q
man Is a Christian, neither does
church membership nor perfume
tory attendance upon the services Of
a church answer the question. He
then emphasized three things that
must characterize every one who is a
christian. ~ = ( ..f..: s..l
= "a Christian is a person who exerts
his influence for Christ. This means
that he uses his influence actively for
the church and for everything that
is for Christ, and actively opposes
everything that is evil whether Hn
the church, home OF. city. Again a
Christian, without exception. has a
concern for those who are unsaved. !"
This conclusion he drew from Scrip
ture. IA Christian must lhave the
spirit of Christ, and Christ came to
seek and to, save that which was
lost. Because of this fact every be-
lever must support soul-winning
work, and the Christians of Bemidjl
regardless of church affiliation must
put forth their utmost endeavors to
forward this campaign and any 9th
ers that may follow this meeting. "A
Christian also possesses the assurance
Of his salvation, and knows" that
he is saved er>,,S ii I 5isZ NsS
