THE REV. G. G. HOWARD PREA-
CHED TIMELY SERMON ON
3oUNTlFULNESS OF NATURE
DURING PAST YEAR.

The annual Rally Day and Harvest
Home Services were held at the
First English Lutheran Church yes
terday morning and the meetings
were probably the most successful
ever held at the church.
The Rally day services occupied
the Sunday School hour at $50 and
over three hundred and fifty people
were crowded into the main auditor
ium in the church. The number was
the largest that ever attended Sun
day school services at the church.
At 1880 the Harvest Home SER
vices were conducted in the place of
the regular church services. Rev. f.
G.. Howard had charge of the services
which were very interesting.
He showed how the same laws
governing nature controlled the lives
of men. The bountiful crops of the
past year the Rev. Mr.. Howard said
had largely been due to the care and
watchfulness of the seed sewers.
The church was tastefully and very
beautifully decorated with fall flow
ers. fruits and vegetables. The choir
under the direction of Lee B. Nus
baum rendered several choral selec-
tions and Mrs. Bartel sang the offer
tory.

father of David Rushing, the fifteen
year old water carrier of the work
train, who was killed. The senior
Rushing sustained badly battered

were dressed, he became so insistent
on leaving the hospital that consent
was finally given and he was brought
to the undertaking establishment,
where the body of his son was being
prepared. Every effort was made by
him to have the body of his boy and
himself taken to Rosevile home to
night, but the physicians would not
allow him to go and the injured faith
er is keeping sleepless vigil beside
the corpse of his dead boy.
