Mondays State says: yesterday
was a notable day for the Lutherans
of Eau Claire. The Sunday school
held a rally day service at 10 a. m., at
which 73 were present. The chief fea-
ture of that service was an address by
DR.. J. H. Harms on How Boys and
Girls Should Grow" The address was
full of fine sentiment, loaded with fun
damental principles and was delivered
in a style which captivated the boys
and girls.
The lyceum course at Newberry
college, which has been conducted for
several years, has a cultural and edu-
cational value in the community. This
is especially true of the entertain
ments which have been engaged in the
coming course. President Harms says
that efforts are being made to secure
the opera house, in which to hold the
entertainments, if the cost is not pro-
hibitive. We hope that this may be
done, because more of the people of
the city could attend and, no doubt,
would attend, and in this way would
make up the additional cost in secur-
ing the opera house.
