Lutheran Church Notes
DAKOTA CITY-SALEM
Emmanuel's missionary society
will meet Thursday, December 7 at
the home of the Lapsley sisters, at
2:30 p. m.
On next Sunday at the churches
Rev. It. B. Perry, D. D., presid6nt
of Midland college,, will speak on
Christian Education. He is a fine
speaker and a pleasing man and you
will bo pleased to hear him. Our
state institutions are heralded far
and wide, and as christian people
who support our college we owe Dr.
Perry a hearing. For tho sake of
our boys and girls we ought to hear
him. The state institutions are not
fostering in any especial way the
christian life of their students and
does not throw around them any
christian safe guards as our own
Midland college does. You are in
terested in this phaze of the work
for the sake of making the best, man
possible of your son and the best
possible woman of your daughter.
You cannot do this without christian
influences either directly or indirect
ly and how much better if they have
the thing itself. You will be inter
ested in Dr. Pery.
I am glad the boys and girls will
have a chance to hear and see the
Dr. We have talked about the col
lege at our practices and other places
and now to see the head of the in
stitution will be good for us and
arouse enthusiasm. I would be
pleased for all the boys and girls to
be at the church service.
Salem is makincr another sten to
wards the standard set by our Lu
theran Sunday school committee.
We have a couple of organized class
es with officers elected. Miss Ida
Larson phoned me Monday a. m. of
the election in her clash : President,
Claire Lake; vice-president, Lloyd
Chalhe; secretary, Porter

. I. C.
recog-
nition by the state Sunday
school
association and that will complete
the process. Inasmuch as the or
ganizations are completed I would
suggest they make the final step and
be registered.
Thanksgiving services will be held
i in the Lutheran church next Thurs
day morning at 10:30. Rev. F. J.
Aucock will preach the sermon. We
will be glad to see our Salem friends
present at the service.
It may be pretty hard to say
whether the Thanksgiving festival is
essentially a religious matter or a
feasting time. Some poet has ar
ranged the first proclamation thus:
lismeettnat we render praises
because of the yield of gram,
Tis meet that the Lord of harvest
be thanked for the sun and rain,
So shoulder your matlocks, Masters,
there's hunting of all degrees:
Arid fisherman, take your tackle
and scour for spoils the seas;
And maidens and dames of Plymouth,
your delicate crafts employ
To lionor our first Thanksgiving
and make it a feast of joy."
How well we have kept up the
tradition, and it is still meet that we
thank the Lord of harvests. We
have magnified the religious part of
the festival in the presidential mes
sages, and are called to gather in the
house of God to render thanks.
Then are feast and visit.
We have much to give thanks for.
"We have plenty to eat and wear,
we have general good health, wo are
at peace within and without, we
have freedom of thought, conscience
and action. We have everything the
Pilgrims had save the "hunting of
all degrees," and many things they
didn't have. We are a specially
favored community in some respects,
let us be thankful and rejoice.
The pastor spent a very pleasant
afternoon at Homer and preached to
a congregation of sixty people.
They certainly treated him as tho
they would like to have him come
back. Thank you, Homer.
Parents, there is no more useful
labor for your son than the calling
of the ministry, there is none that is
pleasenter if he likes it and is wil
ling to do the work, and none that
will be more remunerative in friends,
good will, and love than the minis
try. Speak well of this to your son.
One of the finest things I ever heard
went something like this: ,fIt will
be the gladdest day of my life when
I can go to church, sit and listen to
my son preach." Said by a father
in the presence of his son. If it
made the boy feel like it did "his
pastor, I know his young heart leap
ed in him and his blood run a little
faster and there was an impulse in
him to do and to be that very thing.
Rev. C. R. Lowk.
We understad the sale held by E.
J. Way at his farm near Waterbury
on Wednesday of last week, an ad
vertisement of which appeared in
