The wages of the sin pro- nounccd not by man but by God. The cast includes number of notables, Charles Emmot Mack, Carmel Myers, John Milian, Claire Mcdowell and others.
 Tho program is completed with a. comedy and the latest news. This hlll will remain for today and to- morrow, a complete new show being given on Wednesday,

Rev. and Mrs. H. C. Strandskov
and son, Hermod, accompanied by
their nephew, Herluff Strand
skov, arrived here on Saturday
afternoon of last week from Dag
mar, Montana, to be guests at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. ALT. Soren-
sen. On Sunday the Rev. Mr..
Strandskov conducted services in
the Danish Nazareth church, of
which he was formerly in charge
for five years, and a large gather
ing was present, to participate in
worship with their old minister.
The Rev. Mr.. Strandskov was
minister of this congregation for
about four years, and has been
in Dagmar, Montana, for the past
year, while the pastor of the con-
gregation there was absent on a
trip abroad. He has now re-
turned, but, as the congregation
finds it can make use of two min
listers, as there are several con-
gregations located short distances
from Dagmar, the Rev. Mr..
Strandskov will remain there at
least another year. The Strand
skov family was widely enter
tanned while here, as their many
friends were glad to welcome
them back to Hutchinson, if only
for a short time.-Hutchinson
