John Haefner, formerly pastor of the local German Lutheran church, gave his first sermon in First Corinthians, chapter xiii, the I thirteenth verse: "And toow abideth faith, hope, love, these three, but the greatest of these is love." The minister pointed out in his introductory re marks the importance of the day for the congregation as well as for him self on account of the change in pastors. He showed his new congre gation that at the root of everything connected with a Christian congrega tion lies the thought that we have no abiding city in this world, that we are ofily sojourners and that eternal life is our goal. He showed that there is nothing abiding and lasting in this world unless it be faith, love, hope. He compared his coming to this congrega tion to the coining of Eleazer to Meso patamia in order to win a bride for Ills master. Holy writ speaks of the church as Jesus' bride, ministers are only the servants of Christ, whose duty it is to win souls for Christ. And as Eleazer came with gold and precious stones so he lias come to his people with faith, love and hope and he ex pressed the wish to be met by them in the same spirit. Faith or confi dence. is absolutely necessary for a happy relation between pastor and people, even in worldly affairs there can be no success unless there be con fidence, but this faith must be rooted in the faith of Jesus Christ such faith makes brothers and sisters of men and women, who are otherwise strangers, and with such faith the. pastor wishes to approach bis people and be ap proached by them. Such a faith will be the tie that binds together pastor and people. But faith cannot be without love and charity. The apostle in the text gives a classic and most beautiful description of Christian love, he certainly came to the Corinthians in love, and as Pastor Haefner assured his people, that-he has come to them extending his hand and heart full of that love which has its source in the love for Him who has loved us first, Christ the crucified, and he expressed the wish that they would meet him in the same spirit of Christian love. He explained what Paul meant by the words: "But the greatest of these is love," because love was biding beyond coffin and grave, while faith would pass into having and hope into seeing. And finally the pastor said he comes to them with a vivid hope. Hope, he said, is a good thing, it makes a man cheerful-, and winter's blasts will pass away, spring will be ushered in. So it is often in a congregation. He ex pressed the hope that the people would be faithful to God's house and word, and he showed that the future would be a bright one. Bites Bone, is Paralyzed. Nevada, Dev. 13.—While dining at a family reunion held at the home of her parents in this city, Mrs. Will Harrington of near Colo bit so hard upon a chicken bone that the tooth was chusbed, the nerve exposed and paralyzed and for ten hours she was unable to speak.

"The members of Cloutman post No. 69, department of Iowa. G. A. R., re spectfully represent that in our opin ion and belief it. was 'the men behind the guns,' who endured the hardships, who received as compensation a mere pittance and whose bravery and ef ficiency really saved the union, and who in their declining years should be relieved at least In part from the struggle for obtaining the means for a livelihood, by the government whose life they saved by risking and weaken ing their own. "Therefore be it resolved that in our opinion it is the duty of congress to grant each of the honorably discharged soldiers and sailors who served in the civil war for not less than ninety days a pension of one dollar ($1.00) per day.

Cerro Gordo County Officials Claim Higher Salaries on Census Show ing Say Count is Lecognfzed. Mason Ci y, Dec. 13—A good deal of interest has been manifest in this city and county over the report from Des Moines and published in a large num ber of papers of the state, that the fed eral census will have no bearing on the salary of the officers of the county. Cerro Gordo was among the few coun ties of the state that showed a good healthy increase In population. The in crease of salary of the county officers here ranged from $8 to $25 per month. Since the Des Moines report, was re ceived some of the officers have had their legal advisers at work and their report is that the federal census does have a legal standing in the state. So far as they have been able to learn from an examination of the laws they can not even see any basis for such a report that the federal census would not maintain in the regulation of salaries. In any event already a movement is on foot to contest this matter in the courts should there be some technicality in the laws dis covered. wfmiii»»i.
