18TH ANNIVERSARY

The twenty-second Of June, 1909, was
a very important day for the Evangeli-
cal Pauls church, inasnuch as their
Shepherd and bishop Rev. Rob. Grune-
wald celebrated hIs 2Jth anniversary as
ordainded minister. The congregation
pleasantly surprised him, for after he
and his beloved had returned from "a
call iu Milwaukee aud had reached the
church, they were brought 10 a sudden
standstill by seeing the church illumi-
mated. While wondering what the mat
ter was, Mr.. Luetzow, president Of the
church, came and escorted them into
the church, which was very handsome
IL decorated. While they were prone
uading up the aisle the congregation
arose and sang beautiful hymn. An
address was then given by Rev. Meier
of Milwaukee. MIR. Grune wald receiv-
ed MANY valuable and very beautiful
presents. The Reverend was so over
whelmed with JOY that lie could not
find words enough to express his thanks
for all that was done for him. Every
body then went below to the banquet
given by the Ladies Aid Society, where
toasts were given by pastors who were
former classmates OF Rev. Grunewald.
The evening will be renetnb bered by All
present for long time as one of the
most pleasant evenings spent by them
lie has now served four years in our
city as pastor.
