All Refreshments Free 3f Everybody Come Lutheran Church Notes DAKOTA CITY-SALRM The pastor knows persons who ac tually talk as tho the church exists so the preacher will have something to do for his bread and butter. Most persons do not think like that, and those who do ought not to they did not have anything to do with the making of an obligation, and he was not going to have any thing to do with the meeting of it. We know a woman who always says "Salvation is free" and she is not going to help any, and she makes her word good, and her religion is worth about as much as you wbuld cxDcct it to be.

Sioux City Journal, 31: Alfred Cownie, of South Sioux, City, who yesterday underwent a minor opera tion at the Samaritan hospital, re turned home last night Fire which destroyed the residence of Charles Ekright, south of the rail road tracks in South Sioux City Tuesday night, also destroyed Ek right's wealth, which he has been accumulating for the last ten years. All of Mr. Ekright' s money had been hidden in the tamily clock. Mr. Ekright himself did not know the exact amount of his savings, but said it was about $500. He is an au tomobile mechanic. Mr. and Mrs. Ekright and their two' children early Tuesday night went to Crystal lake to watch the dance. About 10 o'clock, neighbors discovered the fire. At that time the interior of the place was blazing.' The volun teer fire department was called, but the house was destroyed by the time it arrived. Neighbors telephoned to the lake and notified Mr. Ekright of the fire. He arrived soon after the fire department. He started to enter the house to obtain the money but was prevented by members of tho department. The house was a small cottage which the Ekrights have been occupying for some time. It caught fire some weeks ago, from a defective flue at that time. No cause of the fire Tuesday night could be found. Sioux City Journal, 3rd: Miss Leo Lange, of Homer, Neb., is the guest over Sunday of Mrs. Phillip Gregory, 38&1 Orleans avenue, en route to Ute, where she will teach in the public schools.. .."IloveSteve and we are not going to part," said Daisy Stockwell, 15-year-old daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Stockwell, of Leeds, at police headquarters. The girl eloped to Dakota City yesterday afternoon with Stephen Sturgis. 22 years old, af Leeds, and their mar riage was performed by Rev. Francis J. Aucock, a Methodist minister. Late last evening the couple return ed to Sioux City and went to their home in Leeds. The Sturgis and Stockwell families live in the same house. Tho announcement of their marriage caused a break in the Stockwell family. The parents swore that the girl was but 15 years old and that the marriage should be annulled. Mrs. Anna Roberts, police matron, was called into the case. The young married couple were ta ken to tho matron's quarters at po lice headquarters. Mrs. Roberts found that Daisy's( age had been given in Dakota City as 18 years. However, she felt that tho matter should bo left to the parents. When Mr. and Mrs. Stockwell arrived at the matron's department they found tho couple in one of the matron's largest rockers. They were content ed. Pleadings of Mr. and Mrs. htocKweu to tneir daughter were unheeded. After spending an hour in an attempt to persuade Daisy to return homo, the parents abandoned their objections and Daisy and Steve departed with hands clasped. it does not minister to them spiritu al tilings it is of no use to them or the community. People ought to gej the strong idea that they get from the church just what they let the church bring thousand as much. The church is often spoken against for not doing some things, but it is not the church's business to dispense all sorts of things. She deals in spiritual things, the christian reli gion, and all other things are for eign to her. And because so many do not discern spiritual things they think the church has nothing for them. But there is no limit to what she will do for a man if the man will let the church minister to him. The question is, "What is your atuiii , what are you doing?" Are you Mowing any desire for the church to be a benefit to you? You must be anxious enough for her to serve you that you will at least be passive and permit yourself to be acted upon. How many a man it picked up and simply carried by the church, made better simply by con tact with the people of the church. But that is not a man's part. A man's part is to do your stunt and never grunt, be a man and lift. It is not for the pastor to ask what you are doing, but for every one to ask of himself what he is doing. You can answer that for yourself. Look yourself in the face and ask it aloud. Am I helping as I ought, and am I getting' the pleasure out of the helping that I am entitled to? There is a good deal of work to be done in the good cause, but if I am doing my share it will not be hard for any one. I know no one wants me to do more than my part, and all are anxious that I do that. We heard a person say the other day have no vital lorce in her, lor it is not worthy of her consideration, she cannot trust it to anything. Wo know nothing goes without effort. Your family does not go without it, and you expect to do tho labor and pay the bills. Do you think tho church will go any other way than your home? What are you doing? Would your home be a home if you never went there even tho you paid the bills? Separate maintainance or alimony does not make a home, and to contribute to the support of the church is not taking your part in tho saving in stitution. What are you doing, and do you expect the church to grow upon what you are doing for it? When everybody helps the work is easy and delightful. The Immanuel's missionary society will meet at the parsonage next Thursday afternoon. You will be welcome. 2:30 p. m. Immanuel's Ladies Aid will meet at the parsonage Wednesday, Sep tember 13, at 8 o'clock. Come and enjoy a pleasant social time. Re member you can lead the horse to water but you cannot make him drink. The church can provide these times for the congregation but cannot make them come. It is up to you, what are you going to do? The pastor visited thb Lutheran congregation at Homer last Sunday afternoon, preached for them and administered the communion. This was a pleasure. Remember Rally Day for our Sunday schools next Sunday. Better come to Sunday school and stay to church. Rev. C. R. Lowe.
