What is The Importance of Being
'Earnest?''

On Wednesday evening at 7:15 'clocl
large number of the male members OF
the Lutheran church and their friends
gathered in the Sunday School room OF
the church to do honor to their good
pastor, Rev. C. F. Weist, who recently
was elected President of the Lutheran
Church Synod of the state of Kansas,
which includes also the states of Okla
homa and Missouri
Long tables tastefully decorated with
flowers, clean linen, cut glass and other
decorations which well balanced Judge
ment alone could suggest. All of this
was supplemented with one of the most
delightful hunger quenching feasts that
ever tickled the palate of an epicure.
After doing ample justice to this
splendid culinary effort, the toast mas
ter, Mr.. H. W. Oshant, sitting at the
head of one of the long tables, called
upon several of the guests to respond
to certain pre-prescribed toasts The
mayor, Mr.. Oshant, himself gave a
very nice discourse on the subject of
Brotherhood, then followed Mr.. Carl
Holmquist's brief in response to ''Who
is my Brother" which was a very fine
legal document indeed. H. D. Shaffer
told all about the History of the
Church" 1.-The Brother-in-Law' was
well diagnosed by DIR. Geo. B. Snyder
Geo. Grass, Jr. handled the subject Of
'tOur Endeavorers in a most pleasing
manner. "Fallow Ground was en-
trusted to the careful consideration of
Mr.. G. K. Helder, OF the Fort Hays
Agricultural Experiment Station, who
found himself perfectly at, home on
'Fallow Ground" Mr. R. S. Mark
wells ideas about the Sunday School
were most fitting, and Prof. Clarence
j. Smith, of the Fort Hays Normal
School, gave a delightful talk on the
subject 1.-The Church in College
Town" while our young friend, Hugo
Kohl, left no doubt as to ''Who's Move"
it was.
Rev. Weist, the guest of honor,
wound up the speech making program
in very earnest talk of thanks, good
wishes and some very pertinent ex-
plantations. All the talks were well re-
ceived and met with hearty applause.
The meeting was full of enthusiasm,
and no doubt much good will be the out
come of this well meant endeavor
