West Prairie Lutheran Church THE WEST PRAIRIE CHURCH WEST PRAIRIE LUTHERAN CHURCH 1889-1989 100 QJeaAG ^mckmq nnf( P/fOfiPaiwii/ig There's a small country church by the highway, Oh, stop, speeder, stop on life's highway, Where the hurrying folks it can see, To remember that God reigns above, At a point where it joins with a by-way, Oh, come, weary traveler on the by-way, By a gigantic cottonwood tree. "Come to me," says the Father of Love. It's a little white church with a steeple, "Come to me," says the Lord to the weary, Pointing up to the home in the sky, "Come to me, come and I'll give you rest. That it may point the way to the people— Come to Him, for life's journey is dreary, To the people who hurry on by. Come, the Heavenly home is the best. There's a bell in the steeple so slender, Oh, the West Prairie Church by the highway, Calling people from far and from near. Just a small country church it may be, Oh those bell peals are music so tender, By the cottonwood tree and the by-way, Strains from Heaven they are to my ear. But it points, Father dear, home to Thee. To the north of the Church is God's acre, Oh, long may it stand by the crossroad. Where departed are laid one by one, Pointing travelers upward to God. A warning to all on the highway, That the soul may rest safely in Heaven, That the journey of life soon is done. When the body rests under the sod. by Edward Flugum Dear Friends in Christ, The writer of the book of Hebrews stated, "In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son," (Hebrews 1: 1, 2. NIV). In these last one hundred years God has faithfully spoken to the members of the congregation of West Prairie Lutheran Church by His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. The message of God's grace given to us through Christ and the salvation that is ours in Him has been passed on to each generation. With truly grateful hearts we give thanks to God for those who came before us, who in word and deed brought to us the gospel of the kingdom of God and pointed us to a life of discipleship in His kingdom. With joy we offer thanks to God for the privilege and blessing of a century of service to the Lord through this congregation. Pastor Randy A. Hansen On the occasion of this anniversary, our attention is also Dedication February 1985 to present directed to the future.

    MINOR LEAGUE PRESIDENTS compiled by Tony Baseballs www.minorleaguebaseballs.com This document deals only with professional minor leagues (both independent and those affiliated with Major League Baseball) since the foundation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (popularly known as Minor League Baseball, or MiLB) in 1902. Collegiate Summer leagues, semi-pro leagues, and all other non-professional leagues are excluded, but encouraged! The information herein was compiled from several sources including the Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball (2nd Ed.), Baseball Reference.com, Wikipedia, official league websites (most of which can be found under the umbrella of milb.com), and a great source for defunct leagues, Indy League Graveyard. I have no copyright on anything here, it's all public information, but it's never all been in one place before, in this layout. Copyrights belong to their respective owners, including but not limited to MLB, MiLB, and the independent leagues. The first section will list active leagues. Some have historical predecessors that will be found in the next section. LEAGUE ASSOCIATIONS The modern minor league system traces its roots to the formation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (NAPBL) in 1902, an umbrella organization that established league classifications and a salary structure in an agreement with Major League Baseball.

Abstract The Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA) was a professional North American hockey league that operated from 1911 to 1924. With markets in Victoria, Vancouver, New Westminster, Seattle, and Portland, the bourgeoning league was a viable competitor to the NHA and offered a distinctive approach to the developing sport. Through innovations and rule changes, the PCHA made significant strides in player safety, in line with the vision of “clean” hockey promoted by the league’s founders, Frank and Lester Patrick. In turn, these innovations were represented through newspaper accounts from the period, which helped promote a modern, scientific, and highly- marketable brand of hockey in Western Canada.
