Work Well Done.

Rev. W. l.. SeabroOk seems TO be
the happiest man in Abilene today.
We supposed it was all on account of
the recent return of his family but a
member of his church says that the
paIOchial report which he carries to
synod at EmpOria tonight IS the cause
of it. This report shows that during
the past year the Lutheran chulch has
paid to the treasurer of the Kansas
synod S405 for missions, church eX-
tension and other benevolent objects.
The members and auxiliary societies
have paid 1927 more for similar pur-
poses, making the total outside beneY-
Olence of the church amount to $632.
In addition to all this the church has
paid long standing Indebtedness of
of over $500 and for the first time in
five years it is out of debt. Its men,
bers are rejoicing no less than its
pastor.
His report on the state of religion
will be no less encouraging. In addi-
tiOn to the regular services, four per
week, he meets every Sunday afternoon
sixty children in two classes and
teaches them the catechism of Martin
Luther, Just at present large circle
