Edward Austin, Who Was Called
BY Death On Saturday

this city. Mr.. Austin was Ill since
before Christmas, but his condition
was not thought serious, until a few
weeks ago, when on being examined
1t was found that he was suffering
from leakage of the heart, which re-
suited in his death at st. Joseph's hos
pital at two a. m. Sunday morning.

An Instructive Address
Following Mrs. Wilcox's address
Rev. A. K. Voss, district superinten-
dent for Northern Minnesota, gave q
very interesting and instructive ad-
dress. with stereopticon views Of the
pictures and vivid description he
showed marvellous resources of the
territory. He told how the lumberie
industry is fast disappearing and
farming Is coming to the front, which
means the establishment of perman-
nent cities and villages and a settled
population. Many of the people set
thing In this region come from
churches elsewhere. He said 1--WE
must conserve the Christian forces
which come to us and lay deep and
strong the foundation for a Christian
commonwealth in this vast empire
which is now developing in the
North. So we send our home mis-
sionaries to establish Sunday schools
and churches In the new communi-
ties. Sixteen years ago one mission
airy located on the Rainy river" For
years he was alone. He tried to
reach every point where a Sunday
school might be established. He
walked thousands of miles over
muddy roads or no roads at all. ITO
day we have five missionaries In that
territory each having several preach
ing points. We have occupied every
point along the border for a distance
of nearly one hundred miles. The
churches are gradually assuming
more and more of their own expenses,
but for number Of years while the
people are developing their farms,
1t will be necessary to aid them with
home. missionary money. In the
southern part of this northern region
the people have almost reached
self-support, but here it would be
impossible to keep a minister on an
adequate salary at the present time
except for the assistance of the Home
Missionary society"
About eighty churches and mission
stations are at present aided bv the
society. Many new fields might be
opened If the society had the mis-.
sionaries and the money with which
to pay them.

A Missionary Educational Institute
was held at the Congressional church
Wednesday afternoon and evening.
The afternoon program consisted Oh
short address and discussions upon
the principles and methods of Mis-
sionary organization and education,
state, national and world wide, agen-
cies for carrying on our missionary
work, stewardship, etc.
Rev w. E. Griffith had the insti-
tute in charge and spoke briefly of
the principles and methods OF mis-
sionary organization and education
in the local church. He called at
tention to the organization for mis-
the missionary department OF the
National Education Society and thu
Congressional World Movement. The
most important committee to carry
on this work in the local church and
school is the missionary education
which benefits the church through
creating an atmosphere for missions
eniists others in missionary work,
systemizes such work in the school
and develops trained leaders. Be
hind this modern plan OF missionary
education and organization stands
the National Congregational socie-
ties and their abundant and excellent
literature.
Mrs. F. w. Wilcox spoke briefly of
the work of the A. NJ A., but as
Mrs Wilcox was to speak more at
length at the evening session she
confined herself to a mere outline of
the general work.
After a few remarks by Rev A X.
Voss, and open discussion with Ques-
tons and answers, brought the after
noon program to a close.
In the evening, Rev. Mr. Griffith
opened the session, gave a brief talk
as to the purpose of the institute,
and then introduced Mrs. F. w. Will
COX secretary Of the Bureau of Wo-
mans work Of the American Mission
airy Association, with Headquarters
in NewYork City. Mrs. Wilcox gave
brief sketch Of the beginnings of the
association seventy Ave years ago,
and told of the different races among
which 1t has established churches,
schools, and community center since
the close of the Civil war. The larg-
est work Of the association has been
for the negroes in the United States
Thirty three schools in the South
land provide elementary, secondary
and higher education to train lead
ers for the race. Fisk university Is
affiliated with the Association, and
Hampton was the first school estab-
lished. Mrs. Wilcox stressed the i'm
portance of continuing all these
schools and the great desire Of the
negroes themselves for this Christian
education. She showed how willingly
they gave until it means great sacri-
fee rather than have the schools

regular work up to April /. On April

Evangelist r. +. Winston and wife
and their singer Myerl Reeves. We
closed May with a reception to new
members. There were Ill by con-

143. That makes the grand total for
our II months work, 200. Our Bible
school runs around 400 and Christian
EndeaSor about rs.
The amount OF money raised during
the meetings was $1,000, which leaves
about $500 in the treasury. We are
pleased with results. We wonder IL
any Christian church in Minnesota
can match this report for seventeen
months work. Our two boys, Malcolm
and Eldon had measles very hard dur
ing the first part of the meetings,
which made our load pretty heavy for
two or three weeks. But both are do

shattered the hopes of a fruit crop
