DANISH LUTHERAN NOTES
EXTRA and HAMLIN

EXTRA and HAMLIN
Our Ladies' Aid Society meeting
at Mrs. John Andersons, Extra, last
Thursday, was said to be the best
attended this season: some over
fifty ladies were present. The de-
votionol program was concentrated
about the theme: SBe filled with
the Spirit (Eph. 5 1S)" and con-
sisted OF reading, speaking and
singing. After this a business ses-
sion was held, at which it was de-
cided to have the bazaar, Saturday
afternoon, June nth. The presi-
dent, Mrs. John Nelson, was ap-
pointed to receive donations for the
occasion and made other necessary
arrangement. 1t was also moved
and decided to elect a permanent
committee to have charge of the
cleaning and decoration of the
church when occasion demands. At
the meeting it was rumored that
she following day was the birthday
of Mrs. R. G. Jensen and conse-
quently quick and quiet arrange
ment was made to give her q rous-
ing surprise party in the evening at
the parsonage. This succeeded be-
yond expectation, and the many
guests filled the minister's home to
overhowing. The evening was
pass ID in conversation, singing and
speaking and was surely enjoyed by
the recipient of the honor, and, we
hope by all. Delicious refresh
ments were served by the ladies
and several valuable gifts were left
by the party.
The program rendered by the
Young Peoples Society last Thurs
day evening was splendid success
The new choir gave good account
of itself and aroused great antici-
pations for our future enjoyment.
The Misses Katie Esbeck, Clara
Petersen and Helena Nelson went

cred from all parts of the state.
Our next local Y. P. meeting is held
next Tuesday evening, when Rev.
Jensen will'deliver his second lee
ture on the history of the Lutheran
Church.
Sunday we have Pentecost ser-
vice at IL O'Clock. We expect our
CHEEKY little church filled with wor-
shippers, and pray that all may be
filled with the Holy Spirit. The
same applies to our Hamlin church

Grated and hidden from view in the

the statue Of Abraham Lincoln, which
formerly stood on Judiciary Square,
may be resurrected from it's obscur-
ity to receive triumphal rededica-
tion on the battlefield of Fort Ste
vens, where the martyred President
was under fire. during the civil war.
Col. c. o. Sheriff., officer in Charge
of public buildings and grounds, and
the custodian of the statue, believes
no more appropriate site could be Sc
lected for its permanent location, and
moval to the battlefield.
Rebuilding OF the courthouse caused
the displacement of the life-size fig
ure Of the Great Emancipator. Be-
cause of the new grade established
on Judiciary Square and the building
improvements made, 1t has been con-
tended the statue would not har-
monize with the changes effected and
that a more appropriate site should
be found for it. Col Sheriff. shares
this view.
Congress has had the matter before
it for some time. There has been
strong support Of and opposition to the
proposal to give the statue its
former location. Col. Sherrill, 1t was
learned today. will urge strongly the
Fort Stevens site and ask Congress
