CHURCH ROLL CALL.

The First Baptist church held it's first
anniversary and roll call under the pastor
age of the Rev. Ellis NJ. Jones on Wednes
day evening June Ist. The occasion will
| always be memorable one in the history
of the church as it showed the first marked
advance from the days of adversely. 1t
was time when all could thank God for
his loving mercy and tender care An ap-
propriate musical program was well rem
dered. The roll call was an especially in
teresting feature. and the responses eager
ly listened to, while many appropriate
texts were quoted. In some instances
parties had come many miles to be pres
ent and to answer to their names, and to
speak words of faith for the future
Many cheerful letters were read from alb
sent members which were sent in response
to the invitations sent all members and
their families. There were names not
called that all would have loved to heat
those who now answer present" in that
land beyond,-and to whose memory a
touching tribute was paid by Mrs. E. S.
Everett
The report of the church clerk and
treasurer was indeed encouraging, showing
accession to the church of nearly 20 mem
bers. At the beginning of the year 81, 800
had been subscribed, and while the ex-
pensenseS had exceeded the estimates
there was collected over s., 200.
The Sunday school has greatly increased,
nearly doubled, both in attendance and in
collections. A Young Peoples union has
been organized with between forty and
fifty members, vino have started a build
ing fund and have about Sl25 subscribed
They have held regular prayer meetings
on Sunday afternoons, and socials about
once each month, while during the winter
regular meetings were held for the study
of the Bible
After the report of the committees the
pastor made a pleasant talk and invited
all TO partake OF refreshments that mad
been prepared by the ladies and young
people free of charge. Cake, strawberries
and ice cream were served. and over 800
people partook. The tables were decorated
with flowers and everything looked in
viting, and many were the words of COM
mendation spoken. The hour spent in
social talk and handshsking was very en-
jovable, and many members, both new
and old, became better acquainted and
can now labor together with more faith
and courage for the advancement of Gods
cause during the coming years.
Among so many smiling and joyful
faces none were happier than the pastor,
the Rev. Mr.. Joaes.

DEDICATION CEREMONIES,

The Sons of HerrmaI of this city dedi-
Gated their new hall on last Thursday
evening by very appropriate exercises and
an evening OF rare enjoyment. Their new
hail is the same room formerly occupied as
he council chamber. The hall is newly
carpeted with very costly material and the
walls were nicely papered, and the entire
hall has been converted into one of the
very finest of lodge rooms. Several hun
bred members and their invited friends
vera present The dedication ceremonies
were beautiful aud impressive. They
were opened with an address by the presi-
dent a. c. Husey who in well chosen
language welcomed the guests and made
appropriate remarks with reference to the
dedication. The ceremonies were con-
Quoted by the grand officers Mr.. William
Meyer, Mr. Peter Getto, Mr.. Otto Zm-
norman and Mr.. Henry Noltemeyer.
The regular prescribed ritual of the order
was gone through with. Each one of the
above named gentlemen were stationed
in the north, east west and south sides
respectively. These services were very
beautiful and inspiring. Immediately
after the dedication ceremonies, Shaw's
full orchestra of fourteen pieces, which
was on hand and rendered several selec-
tions in exquisite style. Instrumental
selections by the Misses Bissantz and the
Misses Getto were well rendered and were
much appreciated Dancing was kept up
until late hour. Refreshments were
served to ALL The elite of the Germans
were present and the evening was most
pleasantly spent. Thanks are due to Mr..
Shaw for the very excellent music which
his orchestra discoursed during the even
ing. The committee on arrangements,
consisting of Messrs, Tatgenhorst, Goers.
Starr and Buyer, did much and were the
cause for making the entertainment such
u succass.
The hall was very tastefully and elabor-
ately decorated with bunting and flowers.
The south side of the ball seemed a vertia-
BILE garden of roses and sweet perfumed
flowers. The decorating was grand sue
cess and admired by every one. The order
has now sixty members and is enjoying a
steady growth. They now have one of the
finest lodge rooms in the state and may
certainly feel proud of their success.

Notwithstanding but it certainly has
been detrimental TO the best interests OF
the children who have been their practice

that two of the city schools have had the
entire burden of the normal department TO
bear, and the first grade only in those,
whereas experience has demonstrated
long before the current innovation was
thought of, that beginners require the
ablest and most experienced teachers. that
they may start right. The inexperience OF
the members of the normal class is a seri-
Gus detrimeut to the children Of the grades
they preside over; but their inexperieucs Is
not the only detriment. The teachers are
changed every week, aud this unAyOld-
