Oct. t and attended the Kountz Mem
orial church. Dr. Baltzley, pastor.
This, by the way, is the largest Eng
lish Lutheran church in America,
with a membership of over 4,400. The
choir, of 60 voices, is in itself an
Inspiration. The subject of the ser
mon was: "What we believe about
the death of Christ, and why we be
lieve it," was very ably handled by
the pastor. That was one sermon cf
a series on the doctrines of the
church. We took exception to a
statement of the pastor, who em
phasized very strongly that there was
no devil until after man was createu.
This might well be a subject for study
and discussion during the coming
winter.
A vote of thanks was tendered the
It. N. A. of Murdock by the camps,
for the royal entertainment and in
structive meeting given.
The Ladies Aid of the Evangelical
church served a six o'clock dinner to
these two hundred delegates. Not
enough could be said in praise of
the ladies, who served and prepared
tihs bounteous and appetizing din
ner. The ladies of the R. N. A. camp of
Murdock served ice cream, cake and
wafers to the delegates after the
evening session.

very serious misfortune to Mr. Cordes
who has lots of work on his handr
