Prices SOCIETY: NEWS Impressive Candle-Lighting Service Is Feature of Silver Anniversary Program History of Society Is Outlined} Rev. and Mrs. Wells to "For Members and Founders Are Honored A candle-lighting service in which all members of the Trinity Ladies Aid society took part, was an im- pressive feature of the 25th anniver- sary program given Thursday eve- ning in the Trinity Lutheran church. Symbolic of the help and inspira- tion which each member gains from the other, the ceremony formed a fit- ting conclusion for the program de- picting the activities of the society during the last quarter century. As the last number was completed, Mrs. Adolph Schlenker and Mrs. G. N. Livdahl, past and present presi-. dents, respectively, lighted their cand- Jes front those burning in a seven- branched candelabra, representing the seven founders of the society. The other aid members, in turn, lighted their candles from those of Mrs. Schlenker and Mrs. Livdahl. Following @ brief devotional ser- | Youngs vice and songs by the choir, Mrs. A. E. Hedahi read the history of the society, organized in January, 1907, at the home of Mrs. Ole Rovig, who was its first president. The seven original members were Mrs. Rovig, Mrs. August Anderson, Mrs. C. L. Vigness, Mrs. Henry Tatley, Mrs. Ol- ava Sather, Mrs. J. J. Rue and Mrs. Otto Holta. Organized by Rev. Olaf Glasoe, district missionary, for-the purpose of “furthering the kingdom of God in Bismarck,” the group was called the Norwegian Ladies Aid so- ciety. By dint of hard work and contribu- tions of handiwork, the society had $144 in its treasury at the close of the first year. By the end of 1909, when the name was changed to the ‘Trinity Lutheran Ladies Aid society, they had increased this sum to $346.- 50; Mrs. Hedahl ‘said. With the completion of the old Trinity Lutheran church the Ladies Aid realized one of its dreams, she said. They had purchased the land upon which it was built-and provided funds for pews, carpets, an organ and other needs, Years before the present new church was built the women bought the lots on the corner of Avenue A and Fourth street, payments which were completed be- fore the building was started. Local church work is not, however, the only activity of this energetic band of women for they find time to make contributions to outside causes, such as children’s homes, missionary and pension funds and other chari- ties. Mrs. Hedahl’s talk was followed by vocal numbers. by Mrs. Iver Acker, who sang, “Give Ear to My Prayer;” and by Myron Anderson, who gave “The Living God.” _ Adolph Engle- hardt played a violin solo. - The church has helped to lift wom- en to their proper sphere, Rev. O. S. Rindahl pointed out in a talk on the influence of women in the church. ‘He commented on their devotion, sac- rifice and courage and cited women of Bible times as examples of these qualities. An informal reception in the church parlors, which had been decorated with bouquets of flowers sent by members of the congregation, com- pleted the evening. Mrs. Livdahl and Mrs, Schlenker presided at the tea tables. They were assisted by Mrs. 1. G. Plognaaen And. Mais, FE.
