All were garbed in white; eassocks and surplices. | Escorting the candidate, ordinator | and liturgist were four ministers who assisted in the service, Rev. Louis Hagen, Hazen; Rev. J. H. Lunde, Bis- marck; Rev. Carl A. Carlson, Wash- burn, and Rev. Carl G. Nelson, Sims. The chancel and altar were made fes- tive with a profusion of early summer flowers and white tapers for this serv- ice, the first of its kind ever to be held in a Lutheran church in Bis- | marck so far as is known. | Rt. Rev. Stoeve Delivers Charge Directed to Rev. Ellickson, the or- | dination address was given by Rt. Rev. Stoeve, who took for his text the | words of Timothy, “Take heed to thy- self and thy teachings.” He instruct- ed the young minister first to take heed to himself and to strive for in- tellectual and spiritual development and deportment suited to his profes- sion. He urged him to seek to grow spiritually and not only to teach doc- trine but to make of himself a liv- ing testimony of his teachings and to guard against professional dis- honesty, undue satisfaction with per- sonal achievements, despondency and discouragement. \ In interpreting the ordination vows to the candidate, the speaker charged him to exercise the greatest care in! interpreting the word of God, in- structing him neither to add nor to subtract. “The Bible,” he said, “is the infallible guide for the salvation of souls.” He continued to explain that there is no new gospel, that the old teaching meets the need of the) times because it contains revelation of the divine truth which is eternal and survives generation after gener- ation.” | “The truth,” he concluded, “is that the Father sent the Son, that the Son came and fulfilled all righteous- ness and atoned for all sin and just the Holy Spirit calls, enlightens, re- generates and preserves unto eternal life, the truth can never be changed and can never lose its significance 8 generations come and go.” Service Has Many Parts | Outstanding in the order of the service were the preludes, “Aria” from Zendelssohn's jah” and Schu- bert’s “Ave Maria,” played by Mrs. | Opie S. Rindahl, organist, and Miss Marie Lemohn, pianist; the confes- sion of sin, the introit, gloria patri, kyrie, gloria in excelsis, collect, epistle, gospel, apostles’ creed, offer- tory, introductory, collect for ordina- tion, presentation of Scripture les- sons, the ordination address, the or- dination charge, the sacred act of ordination, the ordination prayer with laying of hands, benediction and the postlude. At the offertory the choir sang “Christian, the Morn Breaks Sweetly O’er Thee” by Shelley and the an- them, “How Lovely Are Thy Mes- sengers,” by Mendelssohn. The choir also sang the liturgical music for the ordination service. Rev. Ellickson has been called to serve the Lutheran congregation at ‘Taylor and already has left for there. His father, John, Ellickson, Charlson, Was present at the service and Mon- day accompanied him to Taylor. Also under his charge will be the Lutheran peaeeanvons of Ridgeway and Mar- shall.

After four months and more of investigation, during which they arrested no fewer than six suspects—all of whom have been subsequently released—the po- lice of France are just as near to catching the murderer as they were on February 22. And no nearer. The murder of Albert Prince is or indirectly caused by the rollicking, swashbuckling, scandalous adventures of one Serge Alexandre Stavisky.

To Americans, who have undergone three years of financial depression such as history had never recorded, who have seen their own institutions fall, their banking system totter, their credit machinery crash, their indus- tries stifling and apples sold on the streets by citizens who had driven high-priced automobiles only three months before, there is a meaning in the Stavisky scandal more subtle than the detective story and the mur- der mystery it involves.

He was confirmed Sept. 15, 1920. Following his mother's death, the boy was invited to make his home with the George F. Shafer family, then residing in Watford City. He took two years of his high school work there and completed the course at Bismarck, being graduated in 1924. The following fall he matriculated wt Luther college, Decorah, Ia., and was granted a bachelor of arts de- gree in 1928.

Many are in jail. He played a major part in an in- ternational spy-ring. He caused mur- ders to be committed. He stole docu- ments and evidence against him out of the very files of the courts. He was protected by the very police that were supposed to catch him and his kind.

Can constipation safely be relieved? “Yes!” say medica? men. “Yes!” say the many thousands who have followed their advice and know. You are not likely to cure your constipation with salts, pills, tablets or any of the habit-forming cathar- tics. But you can safely relieve this condition by gentle regulation with a suitable liquid laxative. THE LIQUID TEST: First: select a properly prepared liquid laxative. Second: take the dose you find suited to your system. Third: gradually reduce the dose until bowels are moving of their own accord. Simple, isn’t it? And it works! The right liquid laxative brings thorough bowel action without using force. An approved liquid laxative (one which is most widely used for both adults and children) is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It is a doctor’s prescription, and perfectly safe. Its laxative action is based on senna, a natural laxative; the dose can be measured, and the Europe's Battlefield | Complete your picture by observing that France has been torn by wars. Not only did the Great War destroy French property to an incalculable degree, but for nine hundred years France has been the battlefield of Europe because of her geographical and political position. As a result the French people have developed, in self- defense, a thrift-psychosis which may seem exaggerated but which is an in- nate tendency to put aside for the in- evitable “rainy day.” This rainy day has been, for centuries, synonymous with war and invasion. Hence the “Little People” of France distrust the banking system. Likewise the credit system. Ditto the check system. And these systems, in France, are puerile and unwieldy as a consequence of this national tendency to hoard.
