Rev. P. C.. Jensen
Returning To
Blair. Nebraska

Rev. Jensen, who has served the
Pella and Bronson Lutheran par
ish here since early October as
interim pastor, plans to leave
some time next week for his home
in Blair, Nebraska, where he is
employed by his synod, the Unit
ed Evangelical Lutheran Church,
as editor of a Danish paper and
general statistician and archivist.
At first it was estimated that his
service here would be needed only
three months, but as time dragged
ON before a regular pastor accept
ed the call, Rev. Jensen was pre-
vailed upon to stay, now almost
seven months. AS he and his wife
served the charge in 1928 they
were well acquainted with most OF
the members, many OF whom were
baptized and confirmed by him,
and could enter the work readily
and Fundamentally, and have sue
ceeded in keeping it going, and
even increased it. Ten families
have been added to the Pella fold
and a class of "a teen-agers were
instructed and ready for conflr-
nation in the faith by the new
nastor on May 10. Mrs. Jensen
will stay here a while to ASSIST
their daughter, Mrs. DANA Humid
loft. who is recovering from an
attack of rheumatic fever. !.
The new pastor, Rev. Stanley
Larsen and family of wife and
three children, plan to move from
Exira. Iowa, to Sidney by May /,
and he will be installed Sunday,
Nav 5th, by Rev. Theo. H.. Han
SEN McCabe, Montana, %vicepresi-
dent of the North Dakota-Mon,
tana district. On Sunday, Aprll
28. the Rev. Marius C.. Dixen
from Minneapolis is coming out
~ conduct the services in the two
churches and be guest speaker at
2 Mission Society meeting IN the
evening at the Pella church.
II is a rare coincidence that
two pastors should happen to be
called here from the same form
er parish, as also Rev: r. e. Jen-
sen came here first from Extra.
In the meantime both the parish
there and here have doubled In
membership and built large mod
ern church plants, all paid for.
Both originated as centers for
Danish church and communal life.
The United Ev. Lutheran church
is the larger Of two Lutheran syn
DDS founded by Danish emigrants,
and by the recent survey, COM
pleted by Rev. Jensen, now counts
over 81, 1000 baptized members. 1t
is one of three synods engaged in
merger preparations for a two
million member synod, which will
be known as american Lutheran
after its contamination
in 1850. The other two synods are
the American Lutheran Church,
founded by Germans and the
evangelical Lutheran Church,
founded by Norwegians. The last
has the most parishes In this re-
gion.
