THANK OFFERINGS
WERE BOUNTIFUL

In spite of the zero weather the
Thanksgiving services at the Luth-
eran church were largely attended.
The church had been beautifully dec
GRATED by committees of the Ladies'
Aids with garlands Of mountain
cedar and pine branches, while
sheaves of wheat, barley and oats
filled out the setting for the many
thank offerings tastily displayed
about the altar There were pota-
toes, -four, vegetables of all kinds,
among which squash weighing 32
pounds, coffee, honey, butter, apples,
canned goods, a large ham, etc, con-
siderably more than ton. All was
sent to the Lutheran Concordia Col
lege to assist in the commissary de-
partment.
A special feature, which attracted
much attention and favorable CON-
ment, was large horn of plenty ly-
ing on the altar stoop, out of which
flowed in a wealth of rich .profusion
the various products of fertile Carson
Valley.
In his sermon, Rev. Felten enumer-
ated the many civil and religious
blessings that we enjoy in our be-
loved country, and urged gratitude
toward God and country by being
good Christians. Thanksgiving must
be translated into thankliving In
order to be real and effective.
Incidentally, the extreme cold put
the new furnace to severe test
which 1t stood superbly, the wor'
shippers being able to enjoy the
service in full comfort

romance which started In Germany
a few years ago, Otto Link claimed
as his bride Miss Louise Schwaigler
at weddeing ceremony at the home
of Mrs. Louise Elges of this place,
Rev. p. II. Willis, officiating.
Otto Link, before the end of the
World War, decided that If he lived,
he would embark for America as soon
as he could obtain a passport. The
day finally arrived and the young
man came to this country to make
his future home. Being industrious,
he soon secured a position and has
become a part of the great mass that
makes up the citizenship of this
country.
However. he left his sweetheart in
Germany and undoubtedly told her
that II America was as great a
country as he believed Ii was. he
would soon be able to send for her
and they would be married. This
came TO pass. and last week the
bride-to-be arrived and Monday the
young couple were married.
To this couple the Record Courier
extends its best wishes and assures
them that Old Glory offers them peace
protection and prosperity, that peace.
protection and prosperity that comes
as reward for loyal citizenship.
