all of the visiting students who are
attending the various schools and
colleges in the city, by the young
people of the English and German
Lutheran churches. And needless
To say the majority of invittions
were accepted. for four hundred stu
dents and their friends were in
attendance. The church was beau
tifully decorated in autumn leaves
and late fall flowers and the Hal
loween idea was also carried out in
cClorful effects and novelties. Two
fortune tellers, Miss Bertha Detloff
and Mrs. William Lynard, in Gypsy
paraphernalia and kettles, over a
lighted fire, told the fates of the
young people who eagerly awaited
their turn to have their palms read.

Combination Reception.
That caption may seem a little
odd, yet it, expresses things ex-
actly as they were at Centenary
Methodist church last night when a
reception was rendered to the pas
tor, Rev. John Hall, on his return
for another year, to the new mem
,bers that have recently entered in
TO fellowship with the church, and
to L. w. Andrist and family who
expeSt y, q few days to be packing
their trailer for that state where
flowers always bloom and where no
winter is. The janitor had things
spick and span and at the right
temperature. A committee from the
ladies aid put on the ornamentations
and made the room home looking
and artistic. Mrs. II. j. Kuhn, the
president of the Ladies Aid acted
as chairman and carried things
forth with dispatch. A piano solo
was exquisitely rendered by w: X.
Thomas, the church organist. This

come, to the returned pastor, by
Prof. A. B. Morris. Professor Nor
ris has the unique ability of saying
it in the right way and thus making
his stories hit the mark. A violin
solo was played by Ray Cowden,
who is developing great skill in the
manipulation of his instrument. The
pastor responded to the address OF
Professor Morris in few well chos-
en- words and then made a brief
speech to the new members welcom-
ing them to the church that is
democratic, philanthropic, agreeable,
progressive and that expects each
person to do his and her bit for the
church's present advance and ulti-
mate promotion. Harry w. Kroll.
one of the new members, responded
in a. very fitting and appropriate
way to the words spoken by the
pastor. Earl Scherer always ready
and willing delighted the large
crowd that had assembled with his
selections. H. J. Kuhn spoke in be-
half OF the family that is so shortly
TO leave. II. J. Kuhn Is long resi-
dent of Centenary and knows every
body and therefore ii was very fit
ting that he should say few words
to the ones outgoing. II. J.. Kuhns
address was humorous and forcible.
L. W. Andrist responded to all the
beautiful things that were spoken
and while he was leaving Mankato
church and his many friends will
always be near and dear to his
heart and life. The programme of
the evening closed by the whole
congregation arising and singing
.'Blest be the tie that binds" After
the programme light refreshments
were served and a social hour was
spent II was one Of the best spfr-
tied receptions the writer has been
privileged to. attend. Nothing is
impossible to the church when the
spirit is right.
