CORRESPONDENCE g
KhV. C R. Lowe.
"I just kind 'o thought he'd like
to know it, and so I'll tell it so it
will he passed on to him," said a
lady in the car the other day. And
it has been passed on to him. She
was speaking of friends who find it
impossible, for various reasons, to
come to either of the churches, hut
who read and enjoy tho weekly
church notes. It comes to me every
little while that some read and are
benefited by our paragraphs whom
we do not know. This particular
woman in question lives quite out of
our territory, there is no church
that she can attend or send the
children to Sunday school.
We are certainly glad to know of
those who are helped in this way,
because our idea of the ministry is
service, service in spiritual things.
We know this kind of service is much
appreciated by many who receive it.
It is our desire to be of as much
service as possible to the community
we serve. What would really be of
value to this pastor is to know who
this lady is who expressed her ap
preciation, so we could possibly get
in closer touch with her and
be of more and better service to her
and hers. We are persuaded there
are many such if we could only find
them out. We know a good many
things to help if we could only know
who really wanted the help. I am
going to suggest to any such and
invite them to write me if they can't
see me. Often times we have bold
less to write of our spiritual needs
when we cannot speak of them. I
am not going to olfer any "absent
treatment," but can possibly do
some good by direction and the sup
plying of some help which manj do
not get of themselves. If these col
umns have been a blessing to you,
a letter dealing with definite needs
and conditions will be more so.
And possibly we can get in personal
touch with you some time. And if
we do, what an opening the letter
or two will have made. The ground
will have been broken, your specific
need will be known, we will be free
to talk to you on the subject, your
own shyness will be largely gone.
To talk generalities is never so good
as to be particular. You call the
physician and tell him much more
than that you do not feel well; ho
knows that or you wouldn't have
called him. Ho can prescribe more
than a general tonic. The same is
true of our Christian life. You can
be helped more by being to the
point. And if you will write, it will
be of those things which are mostly
on your mind. A life invalid who
suffered much, Miss Kahn, was a
help to a multitude by her letters,
and there is no reason why wo can
not do some good by this means
among those who cannot get to the
churches. We have been helpful to
some already. Can we not be of
service to you?
The Emmanual Ladies Aid will
meet at the parsonage next Wednes
day evening; the Missionary society
will meet with Mm. Larson Thurs
day afternoon.
The musical and lunch given by
the ladies at the parsonage Inst Sat
urday afternoon was very well at
tended and enjoyed.
The Salem ladies had a very en
joyable time at tho homo of Mrs.
Alice Sides last Wednesday. A good
many of the South Sioux friends
were present. It is good to meet
them and become acquainted. A
man is as large as his acquaintance
and his friends.
Communion services will bo held
at the churches February 11th, and
at Homer this next Sunday. We
hope for a large attendance. Kach
doing their own part will supply this
very thing. Remember you must
put yourself in tho way of these
spiritual things to get them.
It was a real pleasure to have so
fine a Sunday as it was last Sunday,
and to bo able to worship in the
large auditorium at Salem, and to
see some of our sick able to be out
again.
M. E. Church Notes.
K. J. Aucock, Pastor.
In tho Sunday morning service we
have gone back to tho regular form
as directed by the "Discipline."
We cannot get too much of the spirit
of worship into tho service. Let us
nil enter sincerely into the singing
and responses, and wo shall find that
the service means something to us.
Too often a service is nothing but a
pyrotechnic display by the preacher.
The preacher has his place, so has
the congregation.
Prayer meeting every Wednesday
at 8 p. m. followed by choir prac
tice at 8:45. All are welcome.
True Blue meeting Friday of this
week at 7:!10 in the League room.

On Thursday night, February 8,
at Salem Lutheran church, there
will be a lecture by our neighboring
pastor, Rev. H. Wennermark of Oak
land. His subject is "Dabbling in
Everything." Rev. Wennermark is
quite a vigorous speaker and a thor
ough feeler and he will entertain the
audience while he is on the platform.
Interested in the admission price?
WpII, lets' sav the admission is free,
but you pay to get out. How much?
Well leave that wholly with you.
We want to serve the community
and so you are welcome without
price. What we are particularly in
terested in is to have a house full,
clean back to the doors. The big
price for the address the pastor will
pay by giving Rev. Wennermark a
return date the latter part of the
month.
An offering will be taken to de
fray railroad expenses and all above
that will go into our benevolence
funds. Remember February 8.
