Lutherans Free From Debt.
The members of tho Lutheran church
are rejoicing in tho fact that their
church is now again entirely free from
debt. Six and a half years ago they
secured a loan from Mr. Hansen for
$3,000 to build their parsonage. The
loan bore interest at G per cent per
annum. During each year the interest
has been paid and a nice sum on the
principal until on January 2nd the
mortgage was released on Ipayment by
tho church of $400 and interest. Tho
total amount paid, interest and all;
was $3,82G.
There is a project now on foot for
the building of an addition on the
church or building entirely. The mem
bers and friends of the church are
much in sympathy with this project
and stand ready to pledge themselves
to the extent of their ability. The
activity of the church, and especially
the building of the parsonage, is largely
due to tho women and great credit
