The services at the Lutheran church on
Sabbath morning were of a specially inter
esting character. Being the NTH anniver'
sary of Rev. w. G. Wires ministry here,
some of the members, without the pastor
knowledge, decorated the pulpit chancel
and the wall in the rear of the pulpit; on
the wall were the figures 1877, beneath
this, Working for the Master" and under
this the figures 1882. The letters were
made of straw and flowers and were beau.
tfuly shaded and together with the taste
full floral decorations, produced neat and
pleasing effect. The attendance was large
and the choir seemed to be inspired BY
the occasion and rendered several pieces
unusually we'll Rev. Wire, after making
\ statistical report for the five years, an
nounccd tor bis text two passages of script
ure: Fec 80 and Judges 5-23. From
the first passage he enjoined the duty of
working and the reason why, and from the
second, the consequence attending those
who fail to come to the help Of the Lord.
The sermon WAS appropriate and excellent
and was delivered in q very impressive
manner and evidently made . deep INA
preston upon the congregation. In con-
clusion Rev. Wire made an appropriate al
lusion to the motto, working for the
Master" speaking Of the impression Il,
made upon his mind when he entered the
church and in an earnest and feeling man
ner he called upon the congregation to
adopt that motto and work more and more
earnestly for Tie master.
