II DE DlCATiON
Of the Norwegian Luthe-
ran Church.

Last Sunday morning the 2Sth OF May
was beautiful. With its bright sunshine,
its drops of dew like pearl and diamonds
the holy day seemed to have but M re-
quest, and that was? To fill the hearts
of human beings with JOY and great
thanks to the King of heaven and earth.
And this earnest desire was granted es-
pecially in the heart of the members OF
young and old that belonged TO st. Johns
Congregation in Webster. Why? Yes,
because their new Church was dedicated
that day. dedicated as the home of God,
a temple where the great Father has
promised to meet 9 little flock OF his
children with heavenly blessings to body
and soul for time and eternity.
At 1880 A. NJ. the church was filled to
its utmost with people from town and
the country around who wanted to at
tend the solemn act Of Dedication.
The Dedication Service was performed
by Rev. L. NJ. Born from Goodhue Co.,
Mimi, who is now vice president o f'"The
United mol wegian.LutheIan Church of
America and assisted by six.other minis.
tiers. The sermon by the vice-president
was delivered with great force and made.
as I noticed, such an effect upon the
large audience that they certainly all rs
one left the house with the impression
in their hearts. "This 10 none other but
the house Of God, and this ia tne gate Of
heaven"
The evening sermon was delivered by
Rev. Norman from WATERFOWL who
preached In the english language. Also
then the house was filed 10 the last seat
and the very tine preaching listened to
with ears and hearts.
st. Johns Congregation OF Webster be.
longs 20 the above mentioned united

present consists Of about One Thousand
Congregations scattered one in nearly all

Though there is ss many 40 seventeen
Norwegian Lutheran Congregations in

erected their houses OF worship. The 81.
Johns Church in Webster is the only one

An Old Family.

Several years ago there was an old
family in Pennsylvania named Roth.
Indeed the long line of Roths was about
all the family had to show by way of
distinction, and so much did they make
of the long branches of the family tree
and the niagara Of blue blood that had
in centuries past courSed through their
veins that people of the more recent gen.
erations really began TO think these
Roths were of some account.
One evening there happened to be
party in the little town of NJ, and
beside the great Roth family the guests
numbered among others young DIR.
Sharp. He was a popular and rising
physician and considered by matchmak-
ing mammas a particularly desirable
catch.
Mrs. Roth had four marriageable
daughters, so at the first favorable op
portunity she cOrnered the young doctor
and sought TO impress upon him the i'm
portance of her wonderful family.
"Why, doctor" she said, I'VE all came
over on the Mayflower, so | know you
will not think me bold in asserting that
the Roths are really one OF the first fam
lilies"
pardon me-" replied the young ply
sician, "but have no hesitation in say
ing that your family enjoys even great
er distinction"
"Oh, DOCTOR" gushed the old woman,
giving herself congratulatory hug on
her coming triumph. Indeed you fiat
ter u.s."
Not "t ALL" he replied, 'for | know
you are the first family"
"Who told you that, dear dOctor?"
s'The Bible" he replied reverently,
"for it says the Lord was Roth. ."-Bos-
top Bnd3et

edIror's once and wanted TO advertise
for Chalmers. 1t appeared that Chalmers
had left home. and nobody knew why,
and this young woman had faith that
her recital of his personal traits would
bring him back. 1t was a good example
of the average persons bower of descrip-
ion of fellow being.
1t is totally inadequate! Though man
be fearfully and wonderfully made.
there seems to be an unaccountable in
ability in nine persons out of every ten
TO give creditable word picture of any
one whom they have seen. Because we
understand the looks of person when
we meet them, it never occurs to the
mind that other people do not grasp a
thorough idea of his appearance with a
few passing phrases of description.
Your friend comes in, and you ex-
pound to him that such and such a man
has just called for him, but almost in
variably your exposition is jumbled lot
of phrases which apply to the human
race In general.
The other day when rushed into my
Office room with column story on the
end Of my tongue-or at the tip of my
pen, to be more accurate-I was given
this greeting:
Hello! A man has just been in to see
you"
What did he look like!"
"Oh, he was a good looking fellow
not very tall, rather heavy, but not too
much So"
'Was he old or young?"
about 20 or %, l should say"
"What color of hair?"
81 don't remember now. However,
don't think he had mustache"
''How dressed?"
"Oh, just an ordinary business suit"
Have you ever heard such descrip-
ton? If not, watch yourself next time
you tell of some ones call. You will be
surprised to find that your description
would fit almost any member of the
human race.
Why is it?
l don't know. We read in books that
it's because we don't cultivate the habit
of intelligent observation.
There was once a boy who learned
how to describe what he saw. Every
morning he was sent by his father to
walk rapidly by an elegantly arranged
window, and then afterward to repeat
to him all the things he saw at this one
glance at the panorama and to describe
them. At first the lad could remember
but few things that his eye may have
caught in the passing glance, but in time
he could remember almost everything
in show window by merely seeing it
once.-Boston Herald.
