from about 300 of his parishioners
and friends Thursday, Dec. 20.
The icy blasts kept away a good

was we'll planned and successfully
carried out surprise party on Rev.
Jordahl who has been serving the
East and West Lake and Lake Jo-
hanna congregations faithfully and
we'll since 1892. He was presented
with a purse of $800.00. with the
wish expressed that the money be
used in buying an automobile. The
speech of presentation was made by

Rev. Jordahl made the occasion
further memorable by a most happy
address of thanksgiving. The la
dies of the church served delici-
Gus dinner to all present.
Rev. Jordahl's congregations are
quite distance apart, one in each

ates the handsome manner in which
his parishioners expressed their So
licitude for his we'll being. Rev.
Jordahl's friends are limited only
by the extent of his acquaintance.
and they all join in congratulating
him and wishing him many happy
and safe journeys in his new con-
