seminary will take place this evning at
1880 in the First Lutheran church of

The return of the seminarians Is. as
usual, the biggest event in the institu-
ton The theological students COM
pose one-ffth of the total number of
students enrolled and play a very i'm
portant part in the life of the college
II is expected this year that their
number will swell the enrolment to
500.

Der. He proved himself real orator.
The main talk OF the evening was
given by Mrs. Mary +. Huntoon of Mo
line and she kept the audience inter
ested throughout her talk. She re-
minded both mother and son that they
owed each other much and that only
through a real spirit of comradeshtp
could they be of the best help TO each
other. She warned the boys that they
were an advertisement for the home
and to remember that when they were
on the street and other places. The
mother was told that unless she
confided in her boy and taught him the
important things he should know, could
she expect him to grow into the mar
she would want him to be. The toast

ident of the local association; L. n

taught how to develop their own
pictures.
The boys department IS planning on
a large number of stunts this winter,
to which the mothers will be invited,
and all were urged to attend. Those
in charge of the banquet feel that

the real purpose of the work of the
association for the boys of the city;
also that the banquet was decidedly
worth while
