knoIienberg Praises Work.
Twenty years have passed since
you came to this congregation to lead
the people in the paths of righteous
ness. Twenty times 365 makes 1900
days, and with the devotion of faith
full shepherd can 1t be said that you
have endeavored to lead the people
into green pastures and beside still
waters. Faithfulness to the high call
ing of a christian minister has char
acterized your life among us. Lack of
loyalty on the part of many has no
doubt, at times, discouraged you and
caused you pain, but with unfaltering
devotion, your labors have continued
and the standard of the cross of
Christ as the source and only hope
of salvation has been proclaimed I'M
waveringly. 1t is the foundation rock
upon which this church Is builded,
and 1t was this doctrine you were
called to preach and teach. Having
done this you can feel assured of the
done this you can feel assured of the
faithful servant
"Of your detailed labors among U.S.,
l need not speak for the printed report
is in the hands of the people. 1t Is
a showing of which both the pastor
and the people have cause to be glad.
The report Is one that shows a spirit
of benevolence and christian charity.
To do good and to communicate and
the spirit of good will towards men
Is shown therein, and such has ever
been the spirit of your teachings.
And now, dear pastor, I extend to
you, upon behalf of the church coun-
Gil, the committee and the congrega-
ton, the congratulations due you on
this twentieth anniversary of your
pastorate. May the Lord add his
blessing to this occasion and may his
blessing be ever upon you and upon
u.s."
Dr.. Long Speaks.
Dr. s. P. Long, of Mansfield. Ohio,
one of the leaders of the Lutherans
in this part of the country, preached
at both morning and evening services.
DR.. Long delivered two sermons in
the morning, one in German and the
second in English. For the first dis
course he chose his text from John.
u, Is to II. which told of the duties
of the pastor.
"A true pastor never loses sight of
the sins of his youth and is able to
compare them to his present life and
see what the grace of God has done
for him. The pastor is also frequent
ly questioned of his loyalty to God
1t is easy for some people to ques-
ton the loyalty of God on different
occasions but the minister must not
question the loyalty of the Almighty
The pastor-preacher will not neg
1ect the saving of single soul. Ev-
cry person who comes to him will re.
ceive his fullest Conscience and will
not be neglected for his souls we'll

come up to the true spirit of God
but God will never fail the pastor in
anything he undertakes"
Must BE Christians.
According to the word of God ii
is quite difficult for the church going
Christian to enter the kingdom OF
God, and | can't see where anyone
who is not a Christian has a chance
to live in Heaven after DEATH" con
tinued the speaker.
"Massilon, the great French ora
tor and preacher, was able to hold ar
audience spellbound with his descrip

of the charm of the orators words"
