Rev. A. c.. Ernst and His Con0rega-
ton Held Yearly Business
Session Yesterday
Afternoon.
PASTOR GAVE SERMON
Annual Gathering Was Preceded by a
Short New Years
Religious serv-
Ice.

The annual congregational meeting
at st. Paul's church yesterday after
noon was opened with a divine serv-
ice by the pastor, Rev. A. G. Ernst.
This was a new feature and it brought
out a large crowd. On speaking of q
new year motto, the pastor said
that For us to live, means Christ
Therefore the christian could not
quit, or cease in his efforts OF q
righteous life and in church work.
He must still be Tin the game" He
would be ashamed to lose out, asham-
ed to see his church grow weaker.
The next point was in refernce to a
new year lesson. This is learned in
overcoming all hardships and OBJ
stacles. What would the old men
are having a hard time in church
work now? They have learned to
conquer the difficulties by the Ell
ficiency they acquired in hard times
for the church. We have had sue
cess in many things this past year,
but also failed in some. II we had
not failed in some, we may think that
all was easy and relax, which would
surely mean failure in the next strug-
gle. We are handicapped by sin and
satan, but we must learn to master
them in the strength of Christ. In
this way we can capture the new year
prize. This prize is gained only by
those who have a high calling of God
Who are in the race not for the ma
terial gain, outward growth, and
physical beauty. but for the love Of
the work. We have inherited 4
church a parish house, several hun
bred families with a large number Of
children. We have kept everything
respectfully, won honor for our con-
gregation among all who know us
well, given largely to charity, but
even hat is not our prize. but our
prize is the humber Of souls we bring
anto the Lord This is the prize of
our higher calling, which we all have
in Christ Jesus"
The business part of the meeting
was called to order by President Il
t. F. Schmidt. Joseph Sitter read the
minutes Of the last meeting, and aftet
the routine business, the
toll Of votes was cast for the
new trustees and council members
ST. Paul's church. The count showed
that Messrs. Christ Loewenstein,
Peter Blom, Henry Seeman and Karl
Klann were elected on the board,
and Theo. Bode as trustee. Several
were passed to order
and to allow the mon
which the church has in variou.i
and funds.
A resolution to adopt a more sys-
and economic plan in using
the parish house for various societies
was also passed.
The new counsel members and
will be installed at the morn
ng service e Sunday. Those re-
firing from the board on the credit
If long and faithful service were
Geo. Weisman, John Writ,
Sitter, and Jacob Ludwig.
They will hold their respective Of
ID.

General Sibert, head Of General

The Sibert assignment is apparent

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, Nov.

from home and no one to love. This
situation Is not inviting to most
Americans, but many others must
face this same proposition before
this cruel war is over.
I received the candy and it GER
tainly tasted good. l believe we are
receiving most things sent to us.
What we don't get likely goes to
feed the whales, and since the allies
are ~perfecting instruments to de-
stroy the efficiency of the subma-
rines, they will no doubt experience
a hard winter. They would not fat

knew there was a place In this world
where 1t rains as much as it does
here. / am not familiar with biblical
history, but ] am positive the flood
never happened in this region, be-
cause it has rained more In this
locality. this fall, than 1t did in the
timc Of the flood during Noah's time.
Well, l shall not worry. The ancient
poets sighed for moonlight nights
that they might have inspiration to
write their works. but for my part
