the Rev. NJ Engel OF Keokuk, who
delivered splendid sermon on Luke

women mentioned in the text, SO all
christian women should serve their
Master, which service certainly will
be not in vain, but have its rich re-
ward, both in this world and the
world to come. The choir, under di-
rection of Prof Erdmann, sang with
customary precision and did much to
beautify the service. Next Sunday ev-
