                FIFTEEN YEARS SERVICE
                            _____

    Walter Smith Quit the Northern Pacific
        Shops Last Night to Enter the Mis-
                        sionary Field.

      Walter Smith quit the Northern Pacific shops last night to enter the missionary field, having accepted the position of district missionary for the American Sunday School Union. For fifteen years Mr. Smith has answered the toot of the N. P. whistle in this city and his service has been almost continuous. He started in the car department and when he quit had charge of the door work. He has the distinction of leaving the shops without a single enemy and everyone who has worked with him and by him all these years speak of him in the highest words of respect.
      Mr. Smith’s labors in the new field will cover Crow Wing, Aitkin and Cass. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch, 25 May 1905, p. 3, c. 6)

                   MISSIONARY SMITH
                            _____

   Has Returned From an Interesting Trip
      Consuming Eight Days and Travel-
                       ing 160 Miles

      Walter J. Smith, Sunday School Missionary, returned from an eight-day trip in the country, north of Pillager and Motley, Cass county, going as far as Poplar township, fifteen miles northwest of Staples.
      On this trip two schools were organized and five visited, and five services held with large attendance. In making this trip it was necessary to travel 160 miles; 31 families were visited. In these five schools 100 pupils are brought under the influence of bible teaching with 17 teachers.
      This is but one of the many trips made by Mr. Smith, giving an idea of the work that is being carried on along this line, under the grand old organization, the American Sunday School Union, which ought to receive the support and hearty co-operation of everyone. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch, 01 September 1905, p. 3, c. 4)
