course till the race is run. While
some have had to drop out because
they had to begin earning liveli-
hood, yet we know that very many
quit because they did not care to work
so hard. If parents realized the i'm
portance of the lesson of perseverance
in work till it is finished there would
not be so many falling on the wayside.
Every child is entitled to the best
education that can possibly be given
him. A college education is beyond
the reach of most of them, but there
are few parents in this village that
cannot afford to let their children fin
ish the course in our free High school.
The congratulations showered on the
graduates are we'll deserved. May
they serve as an incentive to others to
keep on with stout heart and earnest
purpose till they have reached the
same goal.

The present membership is IS. The
church was rebuilt in 1898. During
the time the society has been in exist
ence it has raised for all purposes,
S14,03l.04. This church society is reg
ularly supporting and maintaining
four native missionaries in India.
Messrs. N. L. Winblad and O. J. Ahl-
strom have respectively been secretary
and treasurer of the society during a
long period of years, and have ever
been faithful and persevering in their
work.
The anniversary exercises began
Friday evening when the Rev. Gust.
Carlson, a former pastor preached,
using as his subject, I Thess. 1:3.
On Saturday morning the exercises
began with prayer meeting. Rey. O..
S. Lindberg, of Cokato, thereup on
preached an excellent sermon, using
II Thess. 3:3. He reminded the mem
bers how God had wonderfully helped
the church throughout and although
they had been strangers in a foreign
land they had now established them
selves as a CHURCH situated in most
favorable circumstances. He touched
on the faithful work of members,
especially the older people, and the
evidence that God has blessed their
efforts.
During Saturday afternoon Mr.. N.
L. Winblad presented a historical re-
view Of the church from tie time of
organization, and in the evening Rev.
G.. r. Anderson of Leentl.rop spoke
. On Sunday morning the pulpit was
occupied by Rev. Gust. Carlson OF
South Bend, Ind. His text was Acts
1925. He showed ur the common

truths and interests in which many
different branches OF the church of
God harmonic and agree and after
wards presented the particular truths
Baptists love and cherish.
Sunday afternoon the Rev. Mr..
Lindh spoke from I Sam. 7:12. "Here-
unto Has the Lord Helped U.s." He
reminded his hearers how God had
helped the church,: and while the pro-
gress might not seem to be very great,
yet the church had been steadily going
forward. It had been spared from in
ternal dissensions and had been per-
mitted to take an auspicious part in
the evangelization Of tie world.
There was therefore abundant reason
why an Ebenezer should here be
raised. He showed up the importanc ce
OF maintaining family worship and
thus raising up affairs in the homes.
He also maintained that they must not
now rest upon what has been accom-
pllshed, a christian s watchw ord being
ever "Forwarl. The work is not
yet finished and none Of Christ's
soldiers will ever be pensioncd on
this side Of Jordan. They will only
be mustered out in death, when our
gray-haired brethren and sisters shall
lay down the sword and receive their
| everlasting crown.
The festival came to an e:;d Sund ay
evening. when the Rev. L. E. Peter
son, OF Lake Elizabeth, preached the
closing sermon, using as his subject
Lamentations OF Jeremiah, 1924.

another shot was fired, aud when she
reached his room she found him lying
in a pool of blood. The coroner was
Immediately summoned, and pro-
nounced his death suicide. The causes
which led up to the fatal act are prob
ably to be found in the fact that he

A GOOD ATTENDANCE
FROM SURROUNDING COUNTRY
President horthrop Of the State Uni.
versity Makes a Splendid Address.
Interest in the Observance Of tho
Day is Increasing.

Memorial Day was 6ttingly observed
by the people of Willmar. A process
sion headed by the Seminary Band
and consisting of the old soldiers,
Seminary students, and pupils of the
public schools, marched through our
principal streets to the opera house.
The building was soon packed. After
music by the band and the Glee Club,
A. E. Rice introduced the orator of
the day, President Cyrus Northrop OF
the State University, who made very
good speech. He sketched rapidly the
causes that led to the civil war, and
the principal events of that moment
Gus struggle. He paid glowing tri-
butte to that greatest of all Americans,
Abraham Lincoln, whose firm but lov-
ing mind guided the destinies of our
nation through the storm.
He spoke Of the soldiers of other
vars, and said that any soldier who
does his duty we'll deserves praise.
The heroes of Chepultepec, Chambus-
co, Molino del Rey, etc., will be hon.
ored for their bravery. But the he
roes of the revolutionary and civil
wars we not only honor for their cour-
age but we love them for their undy-
ing devotion to liberty. He closed
his speech with the following beauti-
full and eloquent words:
1.-The great civil war is thing of the
past and today we rejoice in a re-
united nation, grown strong in re-
sources and in power, commanding
the respect of the mightiest nations of
the world and abundantly able to
maintain it's rights and to defend it's
honor against the most powerful.
But we do not forget, we can never
forget, the men to whose patriotism
! and self-denial and courage we owe It
all. Whatever is possible we would
gladly do to honor the men to whose
patriotism and bravery we owe the SAL
walton of the country. And so today,
we place flowers reverentl4 on the
graves of the dead and we congratu-
late the survivors who still honor US
with their presence. May the dead
rest in peace and in glory, and may
the living rejoice in the prosperity and
happiness of the country they re-
deemed"
The exercises closed with a song by
the Glee Club. After dinner the COM
rades proceeded to the different ceme-
teries to strew flowers on the graves
of the dead champions for freedoms s
holy cause.
Memorial day is becoming more
and more the great patriotic holiday;
day to be observed seriously and
earnestly; day when the thoughtful
citizen will stop to consider the value
Of liberty, and to resolve to use his
best endeavors to the end that the
heritage that has cost so much in
blood and treasure and tears shall not
be wrested from us by foreign or do
mestic foes to liberty. May the day
ever be celebrated thus, free from car
nival features that have robbed our
other national holiday of much of its
deep significance.
Col. Heg Post deserves the thank
OF all our citizens for having secured
such an excellent speaker as Pres.
