The services In St, John's Luther¬ an church on Sunday were both in¬ teresting and impressive. At the regular morning servico the older people ot the community were the guests of the congregation. They were conveyed to and from the church in automobiles furnished by the members. The service itselt consisted of the regular liturgy, the singing ot the old familiar hymns in which they all joined most heartily, special music by the choir and an appropriate address by the pastor. The decorations wore cf extaptional merit and beauty consisting ot flow¬ ers and a large variety of colors pecu¬ liar to the season.

The theme ot the address for the evening was "The Home Around Which Clusters a Happy Christian Family." One of the interesting fea¬ tures of the program was a repre¬ sentation In living characters of that masterpiece ot art painted by Beni- brandt, called "The Holy Family." It was a scene which required much W(n'k to produce but wns highly ap¬ preciated by the large audience that bad gathered for the occasion. The decorations were beautiful and judging from the numerous fav¬ orable and complimentary remarks that were heard on every side, the servico will linger long In the hearts or' tbe people. The committees in charge of the program, decorations and prepara¬ tions in a general way deserve mu. h credit for their faithfulness and a.-- CONFIRMATION AT PLAINFIELD CHURCH Nineteen Young People Here Confirmed by Rev.
