THE POLY This last Easter it occupied for the first time its permanent home, in our beautiful new building, the Losekamp Memorial. Rev. North then preached his farewell sermon on this side of the water, leaving for Europe almost immediately after, for reconstruction and missionary work. We are very sorry to see him go, but we know that his work is Over There, so we send him with all God Speed, and our best wishes, go with him. EASTER SUNDAY PROGRAM, LOSEKAMP CONSERVATORY 3:00 P. M.

THE POLY in its permanent home. In a few days they had another meeting, and each boy brought another boy with him. These ten boys pledged them-- solves to use their iniiuence to help other boys to take a definite stand as Christians. The movement spread among the girls, and within a week there were over forty boys and girls asking to be organized into a church. The Superintendent of Con- gregational Churches, Rev. G. J. Powell, was called on for advice. He informed the boys that on March 14 Dr. Hubert Herring, then the Gen- ' eral Secretary of all the Congrega- tional Churches of America, would be in Billings, and that he would organize at the Polytechnic a stud- ent church. March 14, 1910, was a great day at the Polytechnic. At that time fifty-two students and teachers united in joining the Polytechnic Church. The creed of this unique church is a simple one. It is so broad in its principles that it can take into fellowship anyone who believes in God, the Father, Christ, the Son, and the Brotherhood of Man. REV.WALTERH.NORTH For the past six years it has had for its pastor, Rev. Walter H. North, who is also pastor of the First Congregational Church, Billings, Mont. Each year a large percentage of the student body have entered into the fellowship, and its influence doubtless has been more far- reaching than that of any other church in Montana. The entire mem- bership during these ten years has aggregated over one thousand, and they are today taking high places on both sides of the world. ,,.,aaww'W1 SHOP l
