JOHNSON, (Seal) Chairman of County Board. Attest SAMUEL NELSON, County Auditor and Ex-Offlcio Twenty-five years ago last Wednes day, Rev. Hafermann was installed as pastor of the German Lutheran church of Clara City and has served as pastor continuously ever since. It was therefore most fitting that the members of the church should celebrate with their beloved pastor such a noteworthy event," although the celebration came as a complete surprise to him. During all these years he has ministered to their spirit ual wants, baptized and married their children, rejoiced with them on oc* casions and sympathized with them' in their sorrows and been a wise counselor in time of stress. Preaching and teaching during all these years the pure and unadulterated religion of Jesus Christ, he has set a worthy example to his flock what a model Christian and a follower of the lowly Nazerene should be. Is it any wonder that they admire and love him and isn't it true as Rev. Lechner said in his address that such men can be classed as the truly great although the world may not know them as famous? In these times of war and stress and when, his country is at war with that of his father's, Rev. Hafermann set a fine example of loyalty to the country of his adoption. Although born In Germany, he has taken a firm stand for the country ot his children and has not only supported the vari ous war activities and bond loans hut has urged Jiis congregation to do so. With the exception of a scandal mon«. gdr or two no one has ever questioned his loyalty and during the past year he* has been trying-to Americanize his congregation atfll more^by preaching English, although this task has been a^rather difficult one. An English school is also being conducted WlLtMAR tR!Bl)NE, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 18, 1M8 1.J0 1.80 1.10 1.00 2,00 1.20 2.20 JL.20 2.80 2.80 1.50 1.Q0 1.80 1.00 2.20 1.30 3.00 1.00 1.20 1.20 1.20 2.40 1.20 1.20 1.00 2.00 J**0 2.00 ?.20 ».»« l.«M| 1.00 1.30 1.00 3.00 1.00 1.20 1.20 1.20 2.40 1.20 1.20 l.oo 2.00 2.20 1.20 2.10 1.20 2.40 1.50 1.10 3.08 1.20 2.00 2.00 3.30 1.51 2.56 2.10 2.20 3.80 1.00 6.83 4.50 3.12 2.45 4.40 4 00 3.00 1.20 2.60 4.40 1.20 2.70 5.50 2.20 1.20 2.10 1.20 2.40 1.50 110 3.08 1.20 2.00 2.00 3.30 1.51 2.56 2 10 2 20 3.80 1.00 6.83 4.50 3.12 2.45 4.40 4.00 3.00 l.zo 2.60 4.40 1.20 2.70 5.50 184.05 47.10 65.90 70.00 50.50 34.50 45.50 42.65 31.13 93.00 276.00 10.00 15.90 174.92 104.71 .90 9 20 12.00 9.60 9 00 56.10 3.50 6 00 1.90 25.50 4.60 1.00 151.25 112 1.12 1.12 1 12 3 16 1 12 1 12 1 85 2.79 8.03 208.39 74.11 8.30 24.85 3.60 3.60 6.00 6 00 2.00 6.00 4 00 3.60 3.60 6 00 6.00 2.00 6.00 4.00 5.40 5.40 11.80 12.60 15.80 7.00 10.00 5.80 6.00 4.80 64.40 5.55 2.65 28.25 11.80 12 60 15.80 7.00 10.00 5.50 6 00 4.80 64.40 5.55 2.65 28.25 459 53 563.48 19 92 48.52 71.60 43.90 81.30 3.00 19.92 48.52 71.50 43.90 81.30 3.00 115.69 85.45 40.00 4.50 6.87 24.15 42.05 78.88 3.30 6.30 197.49 482.40 2.40 36.10 19*00 150.29 16.05 60.69 29.80 9.54 18.99 15.00 25.70 74.67 36.45 As stated above it was therefore most fitting that the congregation should remember their beloved pastor by celebrating or commemortlng his long stay with them. Therefore with out his knowledge, they had .invited Rev. Ackermannof Iowa, Rev. Elster of Enderlin, N. Dak., Rev. Ermich of St. Paul and Rev. Lechner of Ray mond. The congregation with-the vis iting pastors marched to the church in a body Tuesday afternoon and there addresses of welcome, of SJelicitation and of joy were delivered by Rev. Ackermann and 'Rev. Elster on this momentous occasion. On behalf of the congregation, Rev. Hafermann was presented with a purse of $$00 and another one of $25 from'the" Ladles Aid Society.-—Clara City Herald.
