Parish Passes in Minnesota Pine City Pastor Is Survived by His Wife, Former Martha McSpadden, of this District The following clipping from a Min uesota paper will be of interest: Death closed a distinguished mini, steric 1 t career last Saturday, tviteu Rev. John J. Parish of Pine City, passed aw•av at the age of 87 years, 10 months and 13 days. The cause of his death was heart trouble due to his advanced age. John James Jeffry Parish was born in Devonshire, England, on April 2, 1853. being the son of John and Sarah Parish. They moved to Canada while he was a child, engaged in farming and settling near Winnipeg. On August 6. 1873, he was united in marriage to Martha McSpadden and to this union, nine children were born. Those surviving their father are Mrs. W. E. Thompson of Edmon- ton, Alberta, Canada; Samuel L. Parish, John L. Parish, George L. Parish, Herbert H. Parish, Mrs. S. F. ICenderdine, and Ernest C. Parish. Mrs, Parish also survives her husb- and, but two children passed away many years ago, they being Sarah Ann, at 22 years of age, and Martha Lerea at 23 mouths. Rev. J. J. Parish turned to the Christian ministry at an early age and began first as a local preacher in country charges west of Winni- peg. He canoe to Minnesota in the year 1897 and joined the Northern Minnesota Conference being first as- signed to a charge at Rush City. In those early days, Methodist ministers were still "riding circuits" and an important part of the preacher's equipment was his horse and buggy, or a cutter for winter work, Rev. Parish was deeply conscious of the need for the gospel being preached in rural areas and he branched out extensively deep into the country, forming Suuday schools and holding services wherever he found a few persons needing religions guidance. His preaching was of the evangelistic type and he led many peoples to bap- tism and the Christian life. Like other Methodist preachers, Rer, Parish was frequently moved from place to place, by the confer- ence and the pastorates served, In- cluded Pine City. from 1899 to 1901, and again from 1904 to 1908. Other villages and cities served by hint were Barnum, Mora, Grand Rapids. Villard, Glenwood, Alexandria and Willmar. However, this does not begin to cover the communities in which he preached or served in some capacity for Itis missionary activities would cover nearly every part of Pine county, including the villages of Roch Creek, Beroun, Rutledge, Finlayson and many others. He was always looking for a chance to serve. The remarkable thing about his work is the fact that the five sons followed their father into the Chris- tian ministry. and each has distin- guished himself in his chosen profes- sion, Rev. Sant Parish is now pastor emerltes of Central Methodist in \s'i- 2 nona; John is pastor at Clinton and Ortonville; George is district super- intendent of the Southern North Da- kota district, with his home at Bis - mark; Herbert is executive secretary of the Minnesota Temperance Move- ment; Ernest is pastor of the Park Avenue Methodist church in St. Paul.

STANDARDIZED FOR EFFICIENCY A ear with Nova Scotia iirrnsr plates limpe into a service station in Winnipeg. Steam is spouting from under the hood. -•It's your water pump." .says the mechanic. "We ran have a new one on in a jiffy—won't hold you up long.' Only a water pump—perhaps assembled in Oshawa or Windsor from parts made inhalfa dozen different towns, yet it fits to a T when this Manitoba mechanic puts it on a ear from Nova Scotia. Uniformity—standardization—are big factors in telephone service, too. You can talk practically anywhere, any time, for one reason, because telephone equipment made with meticulous care fits to a T in all parts of the system. Operating methods are co-ordinated, too, so that your call is put through quickly ervu'g and accurately—your voice spans the i%t/e s miles direet to your listener's ear, To H a nation at war, such standardization is s great asset, E.
