Lutheran Church Notes
DAKOTA CtTY-SAI.EM
Rev. C. R. Lowe.
Despite the fact that the day start
ed in with a drizzle it was notan un
pleasant day and there was a good
congregation at Salem in the morn
ing. We are somewhat tardy as a
rule owing to the newfangled time.
The features of the service were the
confirmation of our catechumens, to
whom the pastor gave a short ad
dress concerning their new and larg
er relation to the lurch, the recep
tian of members, u .d the commun
ion service. The confirmed are,
Vera Beerman, Edith Bridenbaugh,
Loraine Ostmeyer, Harold Armour,
Ollie Bartels, Everett Blessing, Celia
Bobier. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Briden
baugh came to us by renewal and
their two son3, John and Earnest,
by letter from Uplands, Call., Pres
byterian church.
There is not a better thing a man
can do than establish and maintain
a proper relation to the church.
He aligns himself with the best
there is in the world and has a place
ho can call his own. A vital faith
establishes a vital relation to the
church. There is a good deal to be
done in the exercise of faith by those
coming into the church, but there is
much to be done for them by those
who have been in the church for a
long time. These are to be welcom
ed and encouraged by the member
ship and made to feel they are a
part of the congregation, they are
to be taught many things by very
kindly direction in their christian
life. It will not hurt any of us to
speak a word of appreciation to them
and show it by our attitude.
That is helping to maintain the
unity of the faith. It will help to
keep them true to their profession
because they are made to feel they
are wanted in the church. The old
er members of the church should
give diligence to do this. In your
planning of work give them a place
and consideration. The young peo
ple can do much to help, if they arb
given a chance. If they are crowd
ed back they are scarcely to be
blamed if they do not develop into
active workers early. Our church
relations are to be mutually helped.
The ladies of the Church of the
Redeemer asked the pastor to carry
to the Salem and St. John's churches
their vrry kindest appreciation for
the offering to the building fund of
$21.28. This church has bought
from the Methodists a nice building
amply large for some time to come.
It is of concrete stone, has a largo
anti room suitable for Sunday school
and entry. There is a fine large
basement under the whole building.
It cost $75,000. The church exten
sion board has taken $5,000 of this
and the mission has undertaken to
raise $2,500 by the first of Juno.
The Methodist congregation consid
ered the building was too small for
them and that they would build.
The property is cheap at the price
paid, and in a substantial residence
section about ten blocks from Fort
Omaha. The mission is certainly to
he congratulated on securing such a
building. Also upon having a pastor
who is old enough and stable not to
lead the mission into grievous ways
which is the experience with so many
missions.
The preaching service and com
munion at Emmanuel was held at 0:150
last Sunday evening in order that
our people could attend the class
sermon and by the way it was the
largest congregation we have had
for some time.
There will be preaching and com
munion service at Homer next bun
day, if nothing prevents or disar
ranges. Notice of Registration No. 2.
