Welcome back to Peabody. The offering for Children's Day Sunday School will be applied toward our apportionment for the Orphanage at Nachusa, Illinois. The Lutheran Church of Peabody had two delegates at the State Sunday School Convention held at Hutchinson May 10-12; M. M. Turner as a delegate from St.

Paul's S. and Mrs. A. Bender, delegate from the county. The next Sunday that the Sunday School will celebrate is Children's Day, June 11.

The program will be rendered in the evening. Every pupil enrolled in the Sunday School should have some part. Let the little ones have a gala day on June 11. It is one of the days in the year that our Church has allotted to them. The faithful effort of the superintendent and the teachers is being felt and our members are growing.

The superintendent has promised something along progressive lines after we have reached the hundred mark. If we could reach the number by Children's Day it would devolve upon Bro. Turner to tell us his secret. St. Paul's Church should be well filled to hear the Children's Day program.

People who are disposed to the opinion that the young men of today are indifferent to Sunday Schools, should make it a point to come in to the Lutheran S. S. and see the interest shown by a class of splendid young men, until recently under the instruction of Assistant Superintendent John Janett, but now under the tutelage of Bro. Null. We have also each Sunday a substantial class of adults with Dr.

J. E. Tressler as teacher. Names recently added to our Church roll: Mr. and Mrs.

Null. Mr. and Mrs. A. P.

Wehry. Oscar M. Zimmerman. Herbert Wehry. Harvey Wehry.

Charles Wehry. Ethel Kafton. Henriette Schroeder. By baptism Edith Kelley. Milton Conrad Walter.

Total, 12. The Peabody High School graduated five young ladies and two young men this school year 1905. The class sermon was preached by Rev. R. A.

Bartlett in the new an church. The commencement exercises occurred at the Masonic opera house on the evening of May 24. After the members had delivered creditable orations, Senator Chester I. Long, United States Senator from Kansas, delivered a brief address and presented the members of the class with their diplomas. Wisdom of Life.

Animals and birds show remarkable knowledge and skill in protecting, preserving and providing for themselves. From the first they act with precision in matters that concern their welfare. Their wisdom in their own sphere of action is due to acquired experience derived from parental sources and immediate training by their mothers. So far as we can judge, they make no serious errors that wreck their lives. If boys and girls were as willing to follow the judgment of their parents, they also would escape the sad experiences that come to them from wilfulness.

In America young people are apt to despise the counsel of the father and laugh at the anxiety of the mother. What is the frequent result? The wreck of the body by drink, the wreck of character by crime, the wreck of life by divorce, and the wreck of the soul by unbelief. Wisdom for life would be gained at the beginning if the acquired experience of parents were accepted by children and deemed worthy of respect. -Watchman. Our God is Able to Deliver Us." God hath a thousand keys to open a thousand doors for the deliverance of His own when it has come to the greatest extremity.

Let us be faithful and care for our own part, which is to do and suffer for Him, and lay God's part on Himself, and leave it there; duties are ours, events are the Lord's. When our faith goeth to meddle with events, and to hold a court (if I may so speak) upon God's providence, and beginneth to say, How wilt Thou do this or that we lose ground, we have nothing to do there; it is our part to let the Almighty exercise His own office and steer His, own helm. ---Samuel Rutherford.
