sermon to the G.. A. R. and the w
r. c., who attended in body.
The altar rail was decorated with
bunting, while flowers adorned the
pulpit. American flags were placed
at either side of the pulpit. The
morning was dark and rainy, but the
veterans and their wives turned out
in goodly numbers to listen to the
sermon.
A choir consisting of Mrs. Lewis,
soprano; Mrs. Compton alto; DR.. H.
F. Hennemann tenor; Frank Sowden
bass; rendered several selections. Mrs
Geo. Butter presided at the organ. At
the close of his sermon Mr.. Kingan
sang a fine tenor solo.
Mr.. Kingan took his text from the
21st verse of the fourth chapter of
Joshua. what mean these stones?''
The biblical account tells of the erec-
ton Of a tower of stones erected on
the west bank of the Jordan by the
Israelites just after they had enter
ed the promised land.
The speaker showed that the stones
indicated Gods power in delivering
his people; that His power will be
exerted for His people as long as they
are obedient, and that their leader
was acting under the direct command
and guidance Of their invisible pro-
tector.
He asked what mean the stones in
the cemeteries at the heads of SOL
diers' graves, the flags, the uniforms,
the brass buttons, the G. A. R., the
w. R. c., the flowers and the decor
ations. The solder alone, he said,
knows what it all means. Memorial
Day is the communion service of the
Grand Army of the Republic. These
evidences remind US of the debt we
owe to the old soliedrs, living as well
as dead.
Mr.. Kingan emphasized the idea
that if God is with person that per-
son is in the majority; applying the
truth by saying that the reason why
the North won in it's struggle with the
South was because it was fighting on
the side of right. He also spoke of
the supreme Importance of obedience,
not only in military engagements, but
in every day life.
The sermon was we'll thought out
and we'll delivered and was brim full
of sound sense and good religious doc
trine and pregnant with patriotism.

BANKERS COMING
Sixth District Bunch To Meet In
Saak Centre Next Year
THEY'LL BE WELCOME
Lucas Kells and c. N. Sprasue Re-
turn From the Brainerd Meetine
With the News

The bankers Of the sixth district will
hold their next annual meeting in
Sauk Centre.
This was the news brought by Messrs
Lucas Kells and G. M. sprague on
their return Wednesday from the con-
vention at Brainerd.
The gentlemen enjoyed the Brainerd
meeting greatly and were glad that
the next annual convention was to be
held in Sauk Centre. Plans are al
ready being made for the proper enter.
tainment of the men of finance. It
goes without saying that Sauk Centre
will do the right thing by the bankers
when they come here next May and
that when they 60 away it will be with
the feeling that they were glad that
they came.
Fay Sprague was elected secretary
of the association for the coming year.
He did not attend the convention, but
that body evidently recognized his
ability to fill the position satisfactorily
and also considered it fitting that the
city that entertained the convention
should have an Office.

WANTS FULL PARDON
Cole Younger Asks to Be Re-
stored to All His Rights,
But Is Turned Down

Cole Younger, the only surviving
bandit of the famous Mortified bank
robbery, who was released a few
years ago on parole, wants to be Civ
en- a full pardon so that he can re-
turn to Minnesota. Warden VOL
fer of the Saltwater pententiary
has turned the application down cold.
When Younger, after years of perserv-
ing effort, finally secured his re-
lease On parole, it was with the con-
dition that he should not return to
Minnesota and that he should not
exhibit himself. He has broken this
parole time and again by going into
the show business, although he has
carefully kept out of Minnesota
Not so very long ago Younger wrote
asking Warden Wolfer to intercede
with the state board of pardons to
have the conditional pardon made
unconditional.
Cole has received a reply said to
have been one of the warmest roasts
that ever went through the mails.
Warden Wolfer told Cole his former
friends in Minnesota once believed
he was a brave man, and that after
being granted a pardon, he would
prove that by his mode of life. But
now Warden Wolfer had all the evil
dence he wanted to justify the belief
he was nothing but a coward.
Wolfer wrote further, that If Cole
Younger ever again showed his face
in Minnesota there would be no first
debating in the courts whether the
warden had the right to lock him up;
the warden would at once seize him
ard place him behind the bars.
The letter was written by Wolfer
some time ago, and Cole hasn't yet
had the nerve to answer it.

on the necessity for constant exer-
tiOn. The man who is looking for
things to turn up will never succeed !;
he must make things turn up. The
speaker demonstrated clearly that sue
cess cannot be won if the one who
strives for it is hampered with bad
habits, evil thoughts or anything that
impedes his progress.
The sermon was listened to with
deep interest and was brim full of
good advice to the class.

A FINE FUNCTION
Annual Junior Reception to the
Senior Glass
OF THE HIGH SCHOOL
Elaborate Banquet Served, Followed
By a Program of TOasts, With
Music and Dancing

The chief social function of the
year in Sauk Centre High school cir
cles is the annual junior reception
given to the senior class. 1t is look
ed forward to with interest by both
classes, especially by the seniors, as
it is the first formal affair in the
closing week Of their high school life.
The reception took place Friday
evening in K. P. hall and was an
elaborate affair. The junior class
numbered "a, worked hard to make
the function a success, and success
crowned their efforts.
Back of the juniors stood a commit
t., of women from the Ladies' Aid So
ciety of the Congregational church,
consisting of Mesdames Thos. Sullivan
Jas. Ingram, F. H. Oehler, NJ F.
I Woodbury., ]. A. Norris, C. D. Mar
shall, w. Benner and Miss Smith.
These women provided the supper, ar
ranged the hall and the tables and
served the high school guests. That
their part of the program was sue
cessfully carried out goes without say
ing.
The banquet hall was a very at
tractive sight when all was ready for
the guests. On the walls hung the
banners of the different graduating
classes of the high school, beginning
with the class of 1881, bearing among
other names those of ]. F. Cooper and
NJ. c. Kelsey, down to the last class.
Orange and black, the colors of the
junior class, were everywhere in evil
dence. The windows were decorated
with streamers in those colors, little
pennants in orange with the mystic
figures 'Os in black thereon were in
vases at intervals on the tables, while
the napkins were held in rolls with
orange colored bands bound with
black ribbons.
From the central chandelier in the
ceiling were stretched to each of the
four corners of the room bands of old
rose and nile green, the colors of the
class of Naughty Eight. These
were the only senior colors in evil
dence
In the center of the room under the
chandelier stood a square stand, and
from each corner of this stretched a
table diagonally toward the corners
of the room. Brass candelabra stood
on the centre stand and at intervals
oa the tables. The chandelier and the
candelabra were festooned with smil-
&C. At each plate was laid pink
carnation. Name cards indicated
where the guests should sit.
Forty covers were laid There were
thirteen seniors, twenty-four juniors
Supt VIM. Angus, Mrs. Angus and
the high school teachers, Misses De
Meules, Mcmillan, Graves and Gro
gan.
The guests sat down shortly after
eight o'clock and there was a merry
time during the banquet, which was
served in faultless style. The menu
was elaborate and all enjoyed this
part of the program greatly.
After ample justice had been done
to the tempting viands the post prand
ial part of the program was taken up

0rlaI Day
ALL Will OBSERVE IT
Governor JOhnSOn'S Proclamation
Relative 10 the OCCaSiOn--Sauk
Centres Program

Next Saturday is Memorial Da
which will be observed general
throughout the country. Followir
is the proclamation issued by Cove
nor Johnson:
Again approaches the day set
apart by the people of a grateful
republic to honor the memory of
their soldier dead. Gratitude to
them who bravely and nobly made
the nations cause their cause,
inaugurated the custom, and sue
ceeding generations of patriotic
loyal and liberty-loving Ameri-
cans will look to its perpetuity.
The approaching Goth of May will
give our people another oppor-
tunity to show their appreciation
of the services of the men who,
On land and on sea, upheld the
noblest cause for which freemen
ever fought.
Human liberty was involved in
that great struggle, and in it's
righteous cause no man has ever
died in vain. But it is not that
old wounds should be re-opened,
or that sectionalism should again
become an issue before the Ameri-
can people that this day is dedi-
Gated to the soldier of the Civil
war; better that the dead should
bury their dead than a reunited
country be torn by sectional strife.
But of this there can be no fear.
Ties of loving kindred reunite the
north and south. On southern
battlefields generous hands with
strict impartiality, decorate the
graves of the heroes who came
among them as foes a half cent
ury ago. In the north there is
left no bitterness of spirit as the
heritage of the struggle. We are
in truth and in spirit, one coun-
try and one flag.
In conformity to the proclama-
ton of the President of the Unit
ed States, and the custom long
since established among us, l,
John A. Johnson, governor of the
State of Minnesota, do recommend
that on Decoration day, Saturday,
Nay 80, 1908, all schools, fatocries.
mills and other places of business
be closed, and that labor of all
kinds he suspended. Let us
collectively and individually make
this day sacred to the memory
of those who imperiled their lives
for the cause of liberty.
The Memorial Day services TAX
place Saturday as per program print
ed in The Herald last week.
The parade starts from G. A. F
Hall at 10 a. m. sharp, proceeding
the cemeteries to decorate the grave
Of the soldier dead.
At 2:30 p. m. occur the exercise
at G. A. R. Hall, when addresses wi
be delivered by Hon. C. J. Gundersol
cf Alexandria and DR.. ]. A. Du Boi
of Sauk Centre.
All persons who have flowers fc
decoration purposes are requested t
send them to G. A. r. Hall not late
than 9:30 a. m. Saturday so that tn
can have them to take t
the cemetery.

BACCALUREATE SERMON.
Rev. F. H. Oehler preached the
baccalaureate sermon at the Congre-
gationa church Sunday evening. A
heavy rain fell during the afternoon
and evening, interfering with the at
tendance. The services were, never
theless, a success. The class occupied
front seats to the right of the pulpit
and wore their class pins.
The choir consisting of Mesdames
A. w. Austin and o. H. Schleusener,
sopranos; Mrs. P. Lamb and Miss
Clara Carr, altoes; Messrs. A. w.
Austin and A. M. Welles, bass, sang
an anthem; Mesdames Schleusener
and Austin rendered a duet and Mrs.
Schleusener sang a solo. Miss Dahl
presided at the piano and DR.. H. L.
Lamb at the organ.
Mr.. Oehler's sermon was an able dis
course. His text was Hebreus XII:
1, referring to the Christian race
The Christian life is a race, said the
speaker, and character is the goal
Life is no haphazard affair; all are
not equally equipped for the race but
success depends upon individual eff.
fort. Many ask the question whether
life is worth living. The right an.
swer is that it depends upon what
estimate one makes of life. The ac-
QUESTION of money is not the chief
end and aim of existence.
The struggles of life develop char
acter. Though God has made char.
acter the goal of living, yet We must
run the race if we would reach it
Heaven should not be viewed as q
reward of living but simply as the
goal which we should strive to reach
Christianity offers the highest mo-
tive to man. Within reason, one can
become whatever he purposes to be.
Mr.. Oehler emphasized the power Of
good example; he also laid stress up
