Minneapolis People
Praise Ministers Tor
Fine ssjf:l and Uork

To oir heroes we erect monuments
and give medals; to our relatives we
give praise and alteration; to our
friends we give gifts and tokens;
but to our pastors we give what?
AS Sundays come and go, we journey
to our respective houses of worship
and according to our faith and grace,
and to the degree of sincerity in our
religion, we enter into the service
and enjoy the Pastors sermons.
AS we are dismissed we rush or
linger to greet our friends whom
we haven't seen since the last week.
If we get around to the Pastor, we
shake his hand and say, 'Howdy
Reverend, how are you?" IF time is
pressing, we leave him, and perhaps
on the way home, we remark, Rev
erend preached a good sermon today,
didn't he?" The reply is always, HE
surely did" But our Pastor, what
of him? Perhaps all the week they
have gone about praying and think
ing for the right message to present
on the Sabbath. Surely some time
had to be spent in the preparation
of the sermon, yet, little or no credit
is given for the same.
Just a few days have passed since
we, the people of Minneapolis, had
an enjoyable spiritual feast We
speak of the masterpiece of Wors. on.

SERVICES. To the seven Pastors OF
the Alliance, we wish to express our
appreciation and gratitude for that

Dear Pastors, we are eternally CRATE
full to you for your previous services,
and may we conduct ourselves from
now on in such a manner that each
of you may say,
Because you loved me, 1 have
much achieved;
Had you despised me, then 1 must
have failed.
But since 1 knew you trusted and

As A result of Travis injury the

play Johnny Mihalic, second baseman,

heaving, Johnny did \ grand job. Joe

Mihalic and the Griffs any embar-
