Cradle Roll Promotion
and Farewell Services
Held In Si. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church,
Sunday, September 25th—Miss Florence
Buss Delit)eted Farewell Address
A very impressive and inspiring service was tha; which was h»ld on Sunday evening in St. John's Luth¬ eran church. It was at this service that a large number of children fron' the Cradle Roll were awarded promotion certiticates which entitle them to enter the Primary aepart- ment ot the Sunday school. It also gave the congregation tnrough its pastor, an opportunity to say a word of encouragement and appreciation to Miss Plorenc! Buss, one ot the members who is about to entw an institution tor Christian worlters in New York to irtpare herself for some specific phase ot church work.
The service opened with the mothers and children of tbe Primary department ot the Sunday school Inarching into the church in a body. To see such a large number ot chil¬ dren accompanied by their mothers and ofllcers of the department slow¬ ly entering the church was not only encouraging but exceedingly impres¬ sive. This was followed by the large vested choir singing "Around the Throne ot God In Heaven, Thou¬ sands ot  Children  Stand."
Following the choir came the larse procession ot children who were entitled to pro¬ motion all dressed in white gowns and wearing white mortar boards on their heads. The costumes were all made tor this oYiasion by interested persons. The children look their places upon thj platform where a sufflclent number ot chairs were in readiness. Prayer v.'as then offered by the pastor and an appropriate Scripture passage read. A selection was then read by Miss Eva Koch who substituted tor Miss Sadie Fleishman who was talsen suddenly li'. Miss Mary Pry sang a solo en¬ titled "Lullaby." These selections were followed by the presentation ot the diplomas by the Superintendent Mrs. M. M. Dry. In her address she emphasized the advantages to be gained thru such an agency ot the church as the Cradle Roll, the necessity   of  early  training   of   chil-
children's future. She very appro¬ priately referred to the work tr which Miss Buss expected to conse¬ crate herself ani ot the great sphere cf activity into which this course would Introduce her.
The pastor then in speaking for the congregation said that it was a matter of genuine pride to have one ot their number enter service ot this kind. It is in the second place, he continued, an evidence ot the pres¬ ence ot God's Holy Spirit among us in that He has quickened and awak¬ ened In this person a desire tor a larger sphere ot activity and useful¬ ness. It means sacrifice on the part of the congregation to be deprived ot her services but our loss will be compensated for and absorbed in the larger and greater good which dren and the opportunity that this Vvork affords ot making a lasting and indelible imprejtlon upon tho chil¬ dren. Her address was full ot valu¬ able suggestions and was favorably received. As tht names of the chil- dien were read their diplomas were given to the children after which they were allowed to retire. It was a pleasure to see these children with bralllng countenances carry their diplomas to their mothers.
Miss Florence Buss then addressed the congregation upon the subiect of christian activity. In a very fluent and Impressive manner she spoke of the indlfferenc<; apparent in church ir.atters to day, the absence ot an ob¬ jective in life and the Many Oppor¬ tunities that come to all to be ot real service. It was an address which was carefully prepared and very effectively   delivered.
Mrs. \V. I. Gold addressed the con¬ gregation on the' subject "The Value ot Good Impressions." She, in her u^ual unassuming manner spoke about the anxious cares parents should exercise over their children very early In life. These are the Inipressfons v/hieh count and deter- n.'ine In  a very large  measure   the

CEMEMT CUT
AiDSJUILDlNGS
Reduction of 25 cts. a Barrel Announced By Companies
Another contribution to lower building costg regarded as important by builders and contractors is the reduction ot twenty-five cents a bar¬ rel on cement. This reduction was announced by almost all the com¬ panies following the statement ot the Atlas Portland Cement Company that owing to effective economies In manufacture, cheaper coal and raw materials. It would deliver cement to the different markets at a lower price.
Four sacks constitute a barrel and ten cents is allowed tor the re¬ turn ot each sack. Heretofore the price charged for sacks was twenty- five cents each.
The reduction should stimulate construction of all kinds, highways as well as buildings, because It has been expected generally since early lu the summer and considerable work is said to have been held up. Some dealers reported already hav¬ ing felt the influence ot the lower price.
