ton of society to-day, if only one sect or
class of men had been allowed to do all the
thinking? The church herself, has burned
thousands at the stake, for no greater crime
than difference OF opinion.
1t is with feelings of the greatest pleasure
that am permitted to state through your
columns the occurrence of one of the most
pleasant incidents that has TRANSFERRED at
this place for long time. 1t will be re-
membered, and that kindly too, that Mr.. j.
D. Green rendered the use of his beautiful
grove to the members OF the Order Of Unit
ed Workmen last summer, free of charge, in
which to give their Fourth of July celebra-
ton. The Lodge, in appreciation of this
kindness, voted him nice hat, and instruct
ed one of its members to make the purchase
and present it to him. The honor of this
pleasant duty fell upon Mr. Z. P. Cayce, who
made the purchase and presented it to Mr..
Green OIL last Friday night. The presenta-
ton speech was made in a few well-chosen
words in behalf of the Lodge, when the gift
was presented. 1t is needless to say that the
present was heartily appreciated, and the
speech responded to, in feeling and kind
ly spirit. We shall ever hold him in CRATE
full remembrance for this act of kindness,
and deem it fitting to make this public ac-
acknowledgement.
Last Sunday was gala day with our friends
of the Lutheran church. For some time past
they have been at work on their church
building, getting il ready for dedication by the
first of the present month. And, in order to do
this they had to .work like Turks, - as one of
the members expressed it to me. The church
was completed last week, and is a neat, snowy
little building, 2sx40 feet. 1t faces the north,
and is provided with very attractive belfry and
spire that projects upward about 10 ,eet. The
altar is nicely arranged and very attractive, at
fording every convenience for administering the
service. The seats are comfortable and we'll
made, and, taken in all of its appointments, 1t is
q convenient and pretty little church, and makes
quite IN addition to the town; besides, it reflects
great credit upon those for whose benefit 1t was
erected The entire cost is placed at 81 100 most
of which has been paid. The church was dedi-
Gated on last Sunday morning by Rev. Mr..
Toenjes Of Pennington, assisted by Rev. Mr..
smukal of this blaze, and Mr.. F. Brand of Con-
cordia Seminary, st. Louis. The morning SER
mon was preached in German from Elk. 81, 81
verses inclusive. The evening sermon was
preached by Mr.. F. Brand, of st. Louis in
English from the text Deut. IL, 10 verses incu-
siye. The morning service began at 9:3O-and
continued until about IL O'Clock, The evening
service began at 2:15 and lasted about an hour.
