Elder Johnston of Duluth reports
that they are planning to have a bap- .
tismal service on March 27 for those
who have begun to keep the Sabbath
as the result of the effort there. He
says there are about 55 new believ-
ers who are actually keeping the Sab-
bath now, and the meetings continue
to be well attended. There are usu- |
ally one hundred or more in attend-
ance at the Wednesday evening meet-
ing, and altogether the prospects are
very encouraging.
Elder Weatherly, who has been the
pastor of the St. Paul English church
for several vears, has accepted a call
to the Louisiana Conference and plans
to leave soon with the family for New
Orleans, where they expect to be lo-
cated. A farewell social gathering
was held in their honor Saturday
night, March 6, which was well at-
tended by the church members and
friends in the cities.
Elder J. A. Swenson, who has been
engaged in the work for the Swedish
people of the Twin Cities for several
vears, has accepted a call to take up
similar work in New York City. He

Once a lawyer asked: “How can one
get rid of 20 many appeals for mon-
ey?” The reply was: “That is easy
enough, just stop giving altogether,
NORTHERN UNION REAPER
and in a little while the public will
find it out and will let you severely
alone as they do many others.” “Yes”,
the lawyer said, “I suppose that is so,
but what would be the effect upon me
if 1 should stop giving?” “Why”,
came the answer, and how true it is,
“your soul would grow =mall just in
proportion as your bank account grew
large.”
In a letter from Elder Dirksen he
states that the church building at
Wells is being redecorated on the in-
terior. This will make it a much
more attractive and pleasant meeting
place for the Wells church. They plan
on a baptismal service in the spring
at which time the new members who
have accepted the truth during the
effort held there, wish to unite with
the church. The Sabbath-school is
planning for a good program on the
thirteenth Sabbath. He also reports
that the church at Mankato are plan-
ning for daily meetings during the
spring week of prayer, und are pray-
ing for a real spiritual refreshing.

We have been made sad by the
death of two members of the St.
Paul English church just within the
last few days. Brother Edward W.
Griffin died on Sunday of last week
and Sister Helen M. Shaw passed
away on the following Wednesday.
Brother Griffin had been quite ill
since in the fall when he was taken
down with the pneumonia, after which
complications developed that resulted
in his death. Hopes for his recovery
were entertained, however, until just
a short time before he passed away.
The funeral services were conducted
