drew a good sized crowd. The
Askov Band opened the program
with three or four numbers after
which S. Chr. Dixen bid the audi
ence welcome and introduced the
speaker of the day, Rev. j. A. M.
Rodholm of Texas. After singing
two songs Rev. Rodholm gave a
short but interesting talk, re-
freshing memories from the ma
tive country-Denmark- and ex-
planning how the Danish farmer
in olden days rose to be the most
prominent, powerful and highly
respected citizen, then gradually
slid down the scale till he reached
the bottom and is now gradually
becoming influential again, Rev.
Rodholm's voice is forceful and
carries we'll in the open air, it
being easy to hear and under
stand him. Songs were then
sung, coffee served, refreshments
sold and the balance of the after
noon spent in social visitation.
