THE FIRST
ANNIVERSARY
Of Rev. Ulrich as Pastor of Trinity Luth-
erau Church Observed.

The Rev. l.. d. Ulrich observed his
first anniversary as pastor of Trinity
Lutheran church Sunday night with an
eloquent and impressive sermon. 1t was
a sermon dealing with such facts as have
been apparent to the large congregation
Of Trinity church. The Rev Ulrich is a
man of deep sincerity and of kindly dis
position. The relationship existing be-
tween pastor and people has grown very
strong during his short time in this city
and the silent approval of his sermon
last evening was but a further demon
stration of the high esteem in which he
is held and a recognition of his valuable
services in every department of the
church.
The pastor used as his text the 22nd
verse of the 26th chapter of Acts "Hav
ing therefore obtained help of God |
continue unto this day, witnessing both
to small and great, saying none other
things than those which the Prophets
and Moses did say should come"
Rev. Ulrich said: "The success of
Trinity church in carrying on Gods
work has been due to the sincerity with
which he members are imbued." The
financial report for the year shows that
the church is in better standing now
than for many years past ,notwithstand-
ing heavier expenditure than usual.
During the year The church and pars on
age have been repainted, a large new
furnace installed in the church cellar
and many other smaller improvments
made.
Rev. Ulrich has made 1900 pastoral
calls during the year and has delivered
$50 lectures and sermons. There have
been seventeen members taken into the
church. The pastor has ofliciated at
thirteen baptisms and fourteen funerals.
