Church Laid on Sunday Re-
CARELESS OF Weather
ATTENDED BY LARGE CROWD
Well Known Ministers Aid in Work of
Laying Stone and Interesting
Documents are Placed in
Corner of New Church

Under very inauspicious circum-
stances due to the unfavorable weather
| the corner stone of the new German
Lutheran church in the Rice subdivi-
sion, was laid on Sunday. Although
| the weather was not promising and rain
fell at various times, fully 500 people
turned out to take part in the cere-
mony. Elaborate preparations had
been made to have the entire service
take place in the open air, but owing
to the threatening rain part Of the
service had to be held in the audito !
UNI of the school hall, which is for the
time being used as the place of worship
for the congregation. The services
started at CLOCK and were opened
with selection by the male choir
under the direction Of Prof IT. AL
brecht The address in German was
delivered by the Rev. f. J. Boerger Of
ST. Johns Lutheran church Of Racine.
Rev. Boerger spoke from Isaiah %,
Is. sBehold Lay in Zion for Foun-
datlon a Stone, Tried Stone, a Preci-
Gus Stone, a. Sure Foundation, setting
forth that Christ Jesus, true God and
Man, the Savior of all mankind is this
true foundation and cornerstone. AS
the cornerstone signifies the foundation
Of the building, so Christ is the true
foundation Of the true Christian church
and as the cornerstone unites the walls
Of the church, so Christ Jesus unites
all Christians with himself and all
Christians again with one another.
After this address u selection by the
mixed choir followed and then the pas
tor Of the local church spoke in Eng
lish
Speaking of the purpose Of this cor
ner stone with its contents, to convey
to other generations message regard
ing this church, he set forth few
of the main doctrines and principles of
the Lutheran church. He stated that
the Lutheran church does not claim to
be the only saving church, but that
it has through the grace of God the
teachings Of the Bible pure and unde-
fled. The Lutheran church accepts
the entire Bible, the Old and the New
Testament as the infalible word Of
God and the supreme authority in all
matters Of Christian teaching and
Christian living. The Lutheran church
believes in verbal inspiration. He said

STRUCK BY 4 TRAIN
italian en- Way to Church Badly In
jured in Railway Accident Sunday

John Julian, aged II years, an
Italian living at the Village Of Berry
vile, was badly injured in a railway
accident three miles north Of .Kenosha
at an early hour Sunday morning.
Julian was walking along the tracks
when he was truck by south bound
train and hurled from the tracks. He
suffered a fracture of both his arms
and many bad bruises. Julian had
started to walk to Kenosha to attend
church and the accident was due to
the fact that he became confused by
the passing of trains He had been
walking along the west track when a
train came from the south and he
stepped over on to the east track and
was struck by a freight train. The
man was thrown to the side of the road
his head striking in the soft gravel.
It is probable that this fact resulted in
his life being saved. He was brought
to Kenosha and taken to the hospital
where DIR. Robinson attended him.
While he will undoubtedly be laid up
for some time it is thought pretty GER
tain that he will recover from his in
juries.
