Members of the local Danish Luth-

ing Sunday decided to leave the
church open for English services by
others who desire such services, the
application fer the use of the building
to be made to the pastor or the
trustees, and necessary heating and
lighting expenses to be paid by the
users of the church. As an organiza-
ton the parishiOners did not decide to
take up and sponsor English services
as yet. The plan of many of those
who desire English services, and as
was brought out at the meeting Sun
day, is TO have services every other
Sunday evening alternating with the
Young Peoples meetings, and that
If the local pastor does not have the
time to care for these services, other
pastors can be called in. By the ac-
tion of the meeting Sunday this course
is now open with the permission of the
pastor and the trustees. If there is
a group of people who would like to
have English services Sunday eve
nings they can secure the use of the
building
