Pleasant Surprises For
Pastor of St. John's
When the Rev. Dr. M. P. Mocker,
pastor of St. John's Lutheran Church,
rose to deliver his regular Sunday
morning sermon, just us he has done
every Sunday for the past thirty-one
years, he. was cut short by a number
of surprises arranged by his parish
ioners in celebration of the thirty-first
anniversary of his pastorate of St.
John's Church-
He started to speak, but some how
the congregation wasn't listening. In
the back of the room there was a
slight disturbance, and Mr. Hocker
paused. Then Frank B. Wickersham,
a member of the church, rose and with
an impressive address, presented the
minister with a large Easter lily from
the stalk of which were suspended
thirty-one $1 bills. From the heart of
the Illy protruded another bill of the
same denomination as an omen of luck
for the year just beyoun. The local
camp, Modern Woodmen of America,
then presented Dr. Hocker with a
cluster of thirty-one carnations.
After this came thirty-one small
girls, each bearing a pink carnation,
as a present from the Junior Chris
tion Endeavor Society. The little girls
walked to the front of the church and
handed the flowers to the pastor. On
Saturday evening Dr. Hocker was pre
sented with a chair and table by the
Ladies' Aid Society.
Instead of his sermon, Dr. Hocker
made a few remarks, telling the con
gregation of his appreciation of its
gifts and outlining some of the things
he hoped to see accomplished during
his thirty-second year as their pastor.
Dr. Hocker was made pastor of St.
John's Church the first Sunday of Feb
ruary, IS 83.

Have You Had the Grip?
There are certain disorders, such aa
the grip, that especially debilitate and
make the body an easy prey for mora
dangerous diseases. Ask those who
have had the grip regarding the pres
ent condition of their health and most
of them will answer: "Since I had
tho grip I have never been well." They
still have profuse perspiration, tha
persistent weakness of the limbs, tho
disordered digestion, shortness of
breath and palpitation of the heart
caused by tho thin-blooded condition
in which the grip almost always leaven
its victim after the fever and influonza
have subsided. They are furthermore,
at the mercy of relapses and of com
plications, often very serious. In an
attack of tho grip thero is a rapid
thinning of the blood and not until
the blood is built up again Is com
plete health restored.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills quickly
make tho blood rich and red, drive out
the lingering germs from the system
and transform despondent grip victims
into cheerful, healthy men and women.
Try the pills for any form of debil
ity caused by thin blood.
