EARLY NORTH DAKOTA MISSIONARIES
BY Bertha r. Palmer
State Stunt. of Public Instruction

ed here till 1879. The first Protest
ant church building in North Dakota
was built by the Presbytcrians at
Bismarck in 1873 by Father Sloan, as
he was affectionately called by all
denominations. He had the respect
and goodwill of the whole country,
everyone contributed to the build
ing fund. the Magdalenes Of the town
sent stocking filled with silver
dollars. He was often called to the
bedside of Roman Catholics when .
priest could not be had.
Who can imagine the experience
and adventures Of these messengers
Of peace in the days when there was
no peace? Such adjectiyes as thrill
used to describe the everyday activ-
sionaries whose tasks and duties were
lowed the injunction what socver
thy hands find to do, do it with thy
might" In our minds eye today
we travel over the country mentioned
as knowing these great souls of near
~ a century ago. But We go by train
and steel rail or by car over we'll
laid out and many times we'll kept
roads, nor can We travel many miles
in any direction without going
through villages where any need may
be supplied and by we'll supplied farm
homes where one need but ask to
receive. The winter just past is the
first in three that any road in the
state has not been passablc for cars.
We scarcely know any more the
meaning Of physical discomfort from
want Of clothing, food. fire, or lack
Of means of rapid transportation,
Can We then imagine the trip of
400 miles from Pembina to St. Paul
now made in day or night but
then six weeks in two-wheeled OK
cart or following a sled drawn by
dogs? To call a neighbor for help
meant walk Of Is miles. Always
the extra buffalo robe must be car
ried in case one had to spend the
night on the road, and the bag con
tanning food and matches. The shell
ter when reached was log room
which must have a fire built in a
fireplace. Before the COS there was
but one stove in the Red River Val.
ley and it had taken two years for
it to be brought out from St. Paul.
Performed Many Services
The missionaries were called upon
for all sorts of services; hut espc.
cialy in times Of rejoicing or sickness
or sorrow, their presence was in
dispensablc. Theirs was the one re
filming cultural and uplifting influ.
ence and in all the great distances
inhabited by fierce animals and fierc
err humans, theirs was the one touch
of humanity, the only voice whict
spake of love and comfort and led
the thoughts fro" the poverty and
discomfort of the present, to the con.
temptation of the possibilities Of the
future.
Who can measure the influence Of
these pioneer souls that b!azed the
way where highways never ran; who
opened, not only the country, bu
the hearts of men to the influence
of religion?

l. The homestead estate is for
the protection of the family, and
when once established it continues
to exist after the death of the hus-
band or wife for the benefit of the
surviving husband or wife or minor
children.
2. Section 1927 is intended to
preserve the homestead right when
the title thereto is in the deceased
husband or wife. The survivor does
not need that protection if he has the
title. In such case he has not life
interest in the property as provided
in section 1927 but he is the owner
in fee, and the homestead status hav-
ing been established during his mar
ried life, it continues to exist after
the death of his wife, unless volun-
tarily abandoned.
3. Where q homestead has been
established and occupied as home
stead by man and wife, the wife dies,
and it is necessary to take the hus-
band to the home of his SON. in law
on account of his physical and mental
infirmities, extreme age. and child
ishness, and for more than year he
is cared for in the home Of his SON.

The big battle scene, filmed on the

lead as recruit. Others in the cast
