CHURCH DINNER GUESTS
Will Hear Rev. DIR. Earle Naftzger,
Indiana Evangelist, Following
Feast This Evening.

Special services for the Washington
senior and junior high school students
will be conducted by Rev. DR.. Earle
Naftzger, Indiana evangelist, at the
Hamline NJ. E. Church tonight at s
o'clock. Prior to the services the stu
dents will be entertained at dinner
in the church.
A warning to some ministers who
are becoming careless of the tenets Of
faith and are wandering from church
standards" was issued by DIR. Naftzger
at the union evangelistic services of the
Methodist Episcopal churches of WASH
ington last nightSat the Hamline Church.
The evangelist, however, pointed out
that the public is too prone to watch
the clergyman and condemn him for
his first step from the straight and mar
row path of integrity.
Every old devil in the community"
said DR.. Naftzger, "is trying to en-
tangle the feet Of godly men and lead
them to life of sin and shame. There
is nothing left in a mans life when
his character Is taken away. I don't
mean his reputation. because there
are some miserable old sinners in this
city who have pretty good reputa-
ton with certain cliQues."
Decision to extend the evangelistic
services through Thursday, March Is,
was reached by the executive committee
in charge at a dinner meeting preced-
ing the sermon last night. 1t had
been originally planned to conclude
them on March IA. The executive
committee is headed by Rev. John r.
Edwards. Other members are Revs.

Employed women were the special
guests at last nights services. Spe-
cial music was rendered by a chorus
under direction of Everett Naftzger
and William S. Schmucker DR.. and
Mrs. NaftZger will conduct a special
meeting for boys and girls at the Pet

Certificate Of Valuation
New York, N. Y, March l, 1923.
To the Grand Lodge of the Ancient Order of United
Workmen of North Dakota.
Gentlemen:-
We have complete our computations of what the
aggregate of the reserves would be by the American
Experience Table and 4 per cent interest, being the
aggregate of the usual individual tabular reserves
on that standard according to the Select and ulti-
mate method as regards life insurance, and by sick
ness tables based upon the experience of the Work
mems Sick and Death Benefit Fund Of New York
City, with interest at 4 per cent per annum as re-
CARDS health insurance and disability benefits, and
we find that the aggregate reserve so computed is
1850. 1890. AS your other liabilities on Dec. 81,
1922. were $31, 103y 35, this makes a total of $2,881,-
552.S5 as against assets Of s., 22l, 739, rs, leaving q
surplus of $34O, 1878 8 and giving a percentage Of
