In St. Stephens mass was held at 10
O'Clock by Rev. Father Aloysius. of
Cumberland, this being the first service
held here since Christmas, owing to the
inability of the good shepherd to be
with his flock at previous appointments.
The first service since some time in
November was held in the Lutheran
church at 20, the new pastor, Rev.
Charles Lambert, having charge. The
sudden change IN weather and memory
of previous disappointments kept many
away, but even so, a goodsized con-
gregatIon enjoyed the splendid sermon
by the new pastor, who also explained
in breif the raising of the $3.50, 600 fund
for Lutheran men in war service, and
liberal subscription was Immediately
raised for the purpose. Rev. Lambert
entsred his new field of labor under
great difficulties and, owing to deep
drifts, high winds and other obstacles
was obliged to defer his appointed ser
wees at this place during February.
His wife's illness was another cause of
much anxiety, Mrs. Lambert having
been for the past month in the Mercy
Hospital at Altoona. Pa, where she
underwent serious surgical operation.
But it is to be hoped that the difficult
ties and delays are now over, and that
the pastors work in this field may be
one of mutual benefit and enjoyment.
Rev. Lambert comes well recommend
ed. In the language of the missionary
superintendent, DR.. l.. P. Young, he is
a good, consecrated Christian worker,
and gentleman in the highest sense of
the word. May the relations of pastor
and people be ever harmonious and
helpful to each other. Regular SER
