On Sunday next the newly elected church council will be inducted into of- fice during the regular forenoon service. At this service a detailed report will also be read to the congregation by the pastor, together with pointed suggestions for the work of 1924. It is to the in- terest of every member to attend this service and a large congregation is looked for. The new church council consists of the following members: Rev. H. W. Mayer, chairman, ex officio; Dr. A. Bertling, president of the con- gregation, and trustee G. Seehofer, A. Priebe, Henry Cramer, R. Herr and A. H. Weiss, deacons; Conrad Schmeisser and G.

Battle, vice-president; Mrs. Edward Asch- bacher, secretary; Mrs. V. Suhr, treas- urer. Program committee: Mrs. I. Gamron, Mrs. Wm. Heuer, Mrs. Asch- bacher. In this meeting it was also decided henceforth to meet twice a month, the first meeting to be given over to business and an educational program in missionary work, the second being strictly a working meeting for benevo- lence. This organization, in a period of a little over three years, has contributed $4,800.00 to the Building fund of St. John's. The Young People's society and Walther league also inducted its new officers at its first meeting. They are: Erwin Meierhoff, president; Vera urer. It was reported that the league had fulfilled its pledge for the Building fund, having given a total of $1,500 in three years. Immediately after this re- port, it was decided to pledge $500 for 1924, and as a starter $100 was turned over at once. The new altar hangings are also the gift of the young people. The sleigh ride party that was to have been on Monday evening did not mater- ialize because the horses, the sleigh and the driver did not show up. Perhaps they are still on the way. But the young people departed, after doing justice to the spread that had been prepared for an "after the sleigh ride." party. The young people are now looking forward to a skating party, a sleight ride party and a leap year party. Don't miss these. At the business meeting of the con- gregation it was decided to form a fel- lowship club among the men and young men of the congregation, this club work- ing strictly as an auxiliary organization in the interest of the congregation. A committee was appointed to draw up plans and a program for the year 1924, and to confer with the other organiza- tions of the church so that none of the events or meetings may conflict. The meetings of the men's fellowship chib are to be both educational and social. The choir of St. John's, having now rounded the day of dedication on its course, is preparing for the Lenten sea- son, at which time it will sing one of the old chorales at every service. The pastor will for the present continue to direct. Everybody is happy over the new church. Better facilities for worship and for work impose bigger duties on the possessors of these things. St. John's and its pastor look forward to 1924 as the busiest year in the con- gregation's history.
