MEMBERSHIP CONTEST 13 HELD Zion Young People Feast at Expense of Losing Division. Zion Lutheran Members of the Young Pople's society held a dinner in the church parlors Tuesday evening in celebration of the finish of a three mouths' membership contest.

The Philharmonic club provided music.

About 25 now members were added. church pew, let them ask the usher in that one's aisle. What impresses me most is what he says about the stranger at the door. The duties of pewholders seem to be rather thoroughly and their shortcomings are quickly noreu. But he finds that there ought, to be a book of etiquette written for the visitor also, and it doesn 't seem nice to write one.

Most, ot that class he finds delightful, appreciative, patient. What trouldes him is the occasional one, who is unwilling to assist the church out of one of its most perplexing problems, that of caring tor the interest of those who stand under its burdens aud need regular places for their families and at the same time give a home feeling to the stranger by prompt hospitality. I heard lie other day of a man who (lew out of church in a rage beeouso he could not be seated instantly, though asked most politely to accomodate the usher by giving him a moment's time. All in all a model usher is one of the uoblest works of Uod. He is born, not made.

But even his path is tack i-tiewu. If the mutual courtesies due between the people in the pews and the strangers at the door were better understood, his lot would be happier. The fine thing is that after a heart to heart talk with a church usher I am inclined to be an optimist thoueh with an occa- Isioual use of the soft pedal.

Whitman, the pastor, will begin a series of Sunday evening services in the Free Baptist church, Fifteenth street and Nicollet, as a special mission to the large number of unaffiliated people said to be living in that locality.

Olson, president of the church publishing society, and a minister of note because of the fact of his having once been a saloonkeeper, will be a speaker.

Tho church several months ago opened negotiations for the buying of the Free Baptist building. The special meetings held there may result in its being purchased, it is said. Mr. Whitman said yesterday that there were more Advent Christians scattered over Minneapolis than could get in that large building, and that it would be an advantage both on account ot its size and its central location.
