Death of Judge Lamb. For the third time in the short space of a few years the pastor has been called upon to conduct a funeral service in the same home, and each time was the occasion of the laying away of a mature man. The first was that of Mr. John Fellar, whose sturdy Christianity and lovable personality our congregation still remembers. The second was that of his brother-in-law, Mr.

Myron G. Smith, a lifelong friend and companion. This last, that of his son-in-law, Judge Frank C. Lamb, of a younger generation, but long intimately associated with these two, sharing many of their excellencies as well as their friendship and their home. Though not a member of our congregation, he gave it nearly all of his attendance when he was able to go to service.

Mr. Lamb was born in Michigan and came to this county from Kentucky in 1879. He had been a sufferer for years and finally succumbed February 23rd. Funeral services were held the following Sunday afternoon. He was 46 years of age.

Mr. Henry Niclaus made sale of his personal property on the 22d, and by the first of March, with Mrs. Niclaus, will start on their long trip to the Fatherland. They expect to visit in Wisconsin, Ohio and New Jersey before embarking, and it will be well into the summer before they sight the German shore. They spent several days at the parsonage in order to enjoy a full Sunday's services before going.

It is practically arranged that the Missouri Pacific special will carry passengers from Eureka to attend the Lindsborg Messiah. The rate will be one fare for the round trip. Already a dozen or more have signified their intention to make the trip. All persons intending to go should notify the editor as soon as possible so that seats may be engaged. Prof.

Geo. S. Anderson left this month for a special course at Bethany college, Lindsborg. The professor is a graduate of that institution and is preparing for special work. In a recent letter to the pastor he kindly offers to select choice seats for the Eureka delegation to the Messiah if notified in time, Rev.

L. C. Groseclose, who has been seriously ill as the result of a fall, is slowly but gradually improving. We Will March 1st opposite the court house where we will Remove open up LARCER THAN EVER in the best lighted and handsomest store room in the city. The New York Racket.

"The liberal soul shall be made fat." Mrs. Fellar had her visit in Eldorado sadly terminated by being called home by the death of her son-in-law. At the last meeting of the Church Council, letters of dismissal were granted, on request, to Mr. and Mrs. A.

E. Shaw. Rev. M. F.

Troxell, formerly pastor at Eureka, has come again into Kansas Synod by taking the charge at St. Joseph, Mo. The Missionary Society will meet at the church Wednesday, March 7th, at 3 p. m. Mrs.

Chris Gullickson will lead the meeting. Our Church in Kansas lost one of its ablest ministers in the person of Dr. Wagner of Topeka, who is called to Altoona, Pennsylvania. We missed Irene Erickson at Sunday school on the 25th for the first time for nearly two years. But she was absent this time only because she was very sick.

Our members will lighten the labors of the collector very materially by making an effort to get the salary contributions to him. Some fall into arrears because it is inconvenient for the officer to call on them. It would be a small matter to hand it to him at one of the services each month. Mr. Erickson puts in a good day's work every month and then is unable to find everybody.

But a gentle admonition is occasionally in order. With a few of our people the average of their attendance at church is too low. Once a month is scarcely often enough to attend the services. And with some the average is still lower. We need a healthy revival in this respect in our congregation.

Whosoever will be great among you let him do you service. Ambition is not to be gratified by appointment. We must drink of the cup, be baptized with the baptism, that the place for which we aspire requires. To sit beside the King of Kings we must follow in his footsteps, who took upon himself the form of a servant and did the work of a servant. If you notice any change in THE LUTHERAN from time to time bear in mind we are making it as large and as good as our revenues will allow.

Are we making THE LUTHERAN worth 25 cents a year to you? If we are let us hear from you. Another of our little ones who has grieved to miss Sunday school is Erma Erickson. Pneumonia kept her out several Sundays but we are glad to anpounce that she is very much better. C. W.
