A Memorial
Bro. John Grossbeak and Sister Susan his wife, of Letcher, South Dakota, mutually agreed before her death (which occurred Feb. 11, 1911) that they would donate part of their property to the Old Folks' Home of Iowa, Southern Minnesota, and South Dakota. According to said agreement, Bro. Grossbeak presented to the trustees of the Home, a deed for three hundred and twenty acres of land located in Hughes County, South Dakota, said deed being dated July 6, 1912.
At the time this deed was received. it was the desire and the intention of the trustees that a suitable memorial be passed by the District Meeting of the several Districts interested in the Home, and a vote of thanks be tendered to the donors and that a record of the same be placed on the Minutes as a token of appreciation of the generous gift of Brother and Sister Grossbeak.
Now, therefore, we, the trustees of said Home, request that this memorial be presented to the next District Meeting of the
262
HISTORY OF SOUTHERN IOWA
several Districts, and that a record of their action be placed 011 their Minutes as a memorial of perpetuity.
Trustees : Samuel Fike, J. P. Doak, J. S. Keefer, G. E. Goughe- nour, J. K. Miller, A. H. Brower, F. H. Hileman.

SUNDAY-SCHOOL MEETING
No. 1. "How Shall the Teacher Introduce Herself to Her Class, Especially in the Case of the Presence of Strangers? "- Sister Nettie Senger.
Every teacher should have a great desire in her heart for her class. As she goes before them, she should greet them with a hearty welcome and have a message for them. She may open the class with prayer, or begin immediately with the lesson, as she sees fit. Greet strangers as you would in your home. Show them that you are glad they are there and invite them back again. Do not apologize and do not make excuses because strangers are in your class, but make them feel at home. In using invitations and greetings use wisdom, pray to God for help and he will help you. Get in touch with God, and then you can get in touch with your class.
No. 2. "How to Manage a Teachers' Training Class in a Small Congregation."-Estella Senger Brower.
To the small congregation, do not be discouraged. Have a teachers' training class, work together, and God will help and bless you. The class should meet once a week, but if it be im- possible to meet each week, have the lessons prepared each week; then have written lessons, hand them in each Sunday morning, and meet once a month. You should have a lively and thoroughly trained teacher, who should hold interest with the class. Elders and ministers should encourage teachers' training and make some sacrifice. Encourage our young members and show them the necessity of teachers' training. A period should be set apart each day in our homes for Bible study.
No. 3. "The Best Means of Increasing Attendance."-Adam Brower.
In increasing attendance, we should get a good and lively su- perintendent ; some one that is on time and in the habit of going to Sunday-school. Let the superintendent be a business manager. He should stand next to pastor and they should work together. He should have teachers that are on time and interested in their work, and also an assistant superintendent. All the people should be interested and encourage others to come. We should set the example and others will follow. The superintendent should be sociable. Get out among the people and greet them heartily. We should have good equipment in the Sunday-school to make it interesting to the children. Let them do work, and then appre- ciate what they do and they will want to come back. We can not force, pull, and drag them in the Sunday-school, but we can love them in as Jesus loved the people in.
No. 4. "How to Retain Young Men in the Sunday-school."- J. D. Brower, John Price.
If we introduce numbers one, two, and three in the Sunday- school we can retain the boy. We should get the boys through
264
HISTORY OF SOUTHERN IOWA
the parents, and get one boy through another. Make it interest- ing for them. Give the boy something to do and let him take a part in the Sunday-school. Have an organized class for the boys and a room for their class alone. Fix up the room, change the methods, but stay in the bounds of the Bible. May they have a good and interesting teacher, who will encourage them and show them the need of the young men in the Sunday-school.
No. 5. "To What Extent Shall Rewards Be Given to Sunday- school Scholars? "-Mrs. Frank Glotfelty, Goldie Stickler.
Great care should be taken in giving rewards. Rewards can be beneficial if given in the proper way and are of the proper kind. A reward of the Lord's Prayer can be beneficial. They may be given to the pupils to require attendance and to those who are faithful. It will help to encourage them all to do their best.
No. 6. Round Table talk, conducted by A. W. Miller, was very interesting and very beneficial. Subjects discussed were :
1. "Promotion of Activity in the Sunday-school. (a) Teach- ers' Training in the Sunday-school. (b) The Cradle Roll Depart- ment. (c) The Home Department."
These have proved to be very beneficial in the churches where they have been organized.
2. "Temperance Meeting and Pledge Signing."
MINISTERIAL MEETING
No. 1. "The Value of Pastoral Work in the Rural Churches and How Can It Be Accomplished? "-Henry Brower.
In building up the rural churches, the pastoral work is very important. The church is a band of souls, and they need a lead- er. They need the power behind them. This lies upon the elder and pastor in charge of the work. He should ask others to help him, keep all that comes into the church and encourage the people to make up the church. There must be an entire cooperation with the pastor and people of the church. This can be accomplished by the leader being well posted. He must have a wide scope of view, must be of slow decision, must be abreast with the times, and must have taste of culture.
No. 2. "The Disadvantage of Non-resident Eldership and How It Can Be Overcome."-Henry Butler.
A great disadvantage of non-resident eldership is that the elder does not know what is taking place and what to do. He does not know the needs of the church and can not give his work attention unless he lives close to the place where he is elder. He does not like to go ahead because of non-resident eldership. This can be overcome by the church getting busy, helping herself and doing her duty. We should go to the ministers, help them and get to the head. Appoint one to be at the head and then the church cooperate with them and the Lord will help us.
265
MINUTES
No. 3. " When, How and by Whom Should the Ministers Be Criticised ? "-A. Wolfe, H. C. N. Coffman.
Criticism is all right, if it is used in the proper place and at the proper time. We should never use destructive criticism, be- cause it tends to tear down, but use the constructive criticism, which tends to build up. Criticism tends to encourage, to build up, and to strengthen the ministers. When we criticise, we should go to them privately. How: We should go by way of encouragement out of a heart full of love and Christian spirit. Go openly as a brother. By whom: Our companions are the best people to criticise us.
No. 4. "How Can We, as Ministers of the District, Do More Effective Work in Preaching the Gospel and Building Up the Church? "-W. D. Grove.
Men that are building up the churches and doing effective . work in the Gospel are not farmers, mechanics, etc., but they must devote their time to the work of the Gospel. We should educate our boys and girls so that they are able to take up the work. They must be qualified and devote their time to the Lord's work. We can be successful in but one thing in this day and age, The future is before us and the work must go on in the District and rural churches and bring it up to the high standard, so we must devote our time to the learning and teaching of the Gospel.
No. 5. "Should We Have a District Evangelist, and What Are His Duties ? "-S. L. Cover.
Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel," so it is our duty to evangelize the world. We need a District Evangelist to help do this. He should manage his work in ac- cordance with the Mission Board. The duty of the District Evangelist is to see that every town and village in the District has the Gospel preached to them. He should go where the people are calling for him. He should devote his time to the teach- ing and preaching of the Gospel.
Spirituality is the life of any church. We must have unity, prayer, power, and faithfulness; then we will have spirituality. We must have Spirit-filled leaders; men who have the Spirit of God. There should be more positive teaching and not so much negative teaching. Every Christian must feed upon the Bible every day; learn to pray, put things into action, place the re- sponsibility upon ourselves and put forth all our efforts that God has given us for the development of spirituality, and then we will succeed.
