    FAREWELL SERVICE WELL ATTENDED
    Sunday evening the largest gathering of people that has assembled at any local function for the past several months, was present in St. Paul's Evangelical Church to celebrate the farewell service given in honor of Monroe County's quota of the drafted army. Automobiles and conveyances of all kinds from all parts of the country were lined along our streets, but the attendance showed the extreme interest at heart which the entire population of the county has for those boys who have been called to defend "Old Glory".
    A program, very fitting to an occasion of this kind, was carried out and due credit must be given Rev. C. F. Brink, the pastor, and Prof. C. Struckmeyer, organist, for their capability in arranging the affair. Rev. Brink's sermon, the songs by the choir and those by the congregation all conformed and tended to bring out the main subject of the evening, which was to trust not along in our physical and moral strength, but also in a spiritual strength, and to remember that without the help of the Almighty we can do nothing--with Him we can accomplish everything.
    Rev. Brink's sermon must be lauded as it was an eloquent talk, short and to the point. He dealt with the human being glorying in his strength, and compared it with our soldier boys who now go forward to glory in theirs. He criticised those people who are going about and questioning the patriotism of the German-Americans. Who was it that helped our country gain its independence from England? Why, the good German-American populace, and as they fought and did their duty in those days, they will again help the Star Spangled Banner in this world war. Rev. Brink explained that he would not try to tell the young men of any military points, as that was the duty of others who are more disciplined in army tactics than he was: he warned them to trust always in the Almighty, and finally their reward will be reaped. He closed with a wish of godspeed to all the young men, and with hope that they will gain glory and honor by the side of the "Red, White and Blue."
    The boys were presented with handsome covered programs as a remembrance of this parting occasion, the front page of which contained the picture of the church. They were bound together with red, white and blue ribbon, by the young ladies of the congregation.
    The church choir rendered two appropriate songs during the evening's entertainment, and the members and their Instructor deserve credit for their efforts. Two songs by the congregation were also on the program. After the Lord's prayer, spoken in unison, and a blessing, the affair came to a close with the singing of the first verse of the national hymn, "America" by all present.
