MR. OCEE JOHNSON
ORDAINED AS MINISTER
Lutheran Monitor: Morningside
church will be the scene of a church
service seldom witnessed in Sioux
City, Iowa at 8 p. m. Sunday evening,
September 24, when Mr. Ocee John-
son, temporary pastor of the congre-
gation, will be ordained into the min-
istry of the Norwegian Lutheran
Church. >

To be successful one of the first
things a salesman must do is to dis-
pel gloom. He must be able to keep
himself plugging ahead, rough or
smooth, like a ship at sea. The man
who makes a continuous effort has the
law of averages working on his side.
Each salesman should do what Ja-
cob A. Riis did when he became dis-
couraged. “When nothing seems to
help,” said Riis, “I go and look at a
-Stonecutter hammering away at his
rock, perhaps a hundred times with-
out as much as a crack showing in it.
at the hundred and first blow it

Rev. Ocee Johnson
here, will conduct the ordination rites.
He will be assisted by at least ten
pastors from Sioux City and neigh-
boring states. Among them will be
Rev. J. B. Reinertsen of Astoria, S.
D., Mr. Johnson’s father-in-law.
It is a stipulation of the church
that the candidate must have a per-
manent call before he can be ordained.
Mr. Johnson’s call has been received
since he arrived in Sioux City to take
temporary charge at Morningside. The
call here is for three months. After
that he and Mrs. Johnson will go deep
into northern Minnesota where they
will do work in seven congregations
40 miles north of Bemedji. The call is
to three congregations there, Mizpah,
Northome and Margie, but there are
four home mission congregations in
the vicinity at which the young pas-
tor will conduct services once a month
or oftener.
Other out-of-town pastors who will
take part in the ordination Sunday
evening are Rev. Gerald Garlid of
Heron Lake, Minn.; Rev. 0. G. Salve-
son of Onawa, and Rev. E. E. Hoff of
Soldier. Pastors of the other three
Norwegian Lutheran Churches in
Sioux City will assist, and Pastors
Matthieson, Westerberg and Brynell
of Sioux City are to be included in
the service also.
Both the ministerial candidate and
his wife are Texans. Mr. Johnson’s
father is a farmer near Clifton, where
young Ocee grew up and attended
school. Mrs. Johnson’s father, Pastor
Reinertsen, served a country parish
near Spearman, Texas, before his re-
tirement and moving to South Dakota.
Candidatae Johnson was graduated
from Luther Theological Seminary at
St. Paul this spring.
Committees of the congregation
have arranged for a public address
system so that a crowd of any size
can be accomidated. If necessary the
basement will be pressed into service
with a loud speaker bringing the pro-
gram down there. They are eager that
the service be well attended.
Efforts are being made to have a
chorus composed of members of St.
John, First and Morningside choirs,
provide music for the service.
The many Bosque county friends
of Rev. Johnson congratulate him on
his ordination as minister in the
Lutheran Church and wish him much
success in his calling.
Rev. Johnson attended Clifton Col-
lege from 1928 to 1933; Luther Col-
lege, Decorah, Iowa, from 1933 to
1936, graduating with the B.A. de-
gree. He received his theological
training at Luther Theological Semi-
nary, St. Paul, Minnesota and finished
there last spring with the degree of
Bachelor of Theology. The interne
year of the four year course in theol-
ogy was served in Central Lutheran
Church, Portland, Oregon,

Hyde Park, N. Y., Oct. 8.—Senior
Warden Franklin D. Roosevelt of St.
James Episcopal Church presided Sun-
day over a special vestry meeting,
called to discuss the gift of a Bible
from the King of England.
King George and Queen Elizabeth
worshiped at the small, ivy-covered
church with the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt last June 11.
The Bible, a memento of that occa-
sion and a King James version, is
bound in black morocco and has gold
edging on the leaves. It is about 10x12
inches.
Mr. Roosevelt brought it to Hyde
Park on a visit two weeks ago, but it
now is in Washington where the Li-
brary of Congress is making a glass-
covered display case for it.
The President did not arrive at
church in time for morning worship
and drove back to his country
home after the vestry meeting to
spend the Sabbath quietly. White
House officials said he had asked that
no appointments be made in advance
for Monday when he will be back in
the capital.
Mr. Roosevelt and a neighbor, Ger-
ald Morgan, a vestryman of the
church, shad one task for the after-
noon. They were put on a committee
to draw up a resolution of acceptance
and thanks to be sent to the British
King and Queen.
CHILDREN’S EYES ARE PRICE-
LESS
Better vision reduces school fail-
ures 22 per cent. Glasses for the child
NOW may make it unnecessary to
wear them later on.
See me at Corner Drug Store in
Clifton, Saturday, Oct. 14 about your
eyes or glasses.—Dr. T. J. Reeves,
Home office, 106 N. 6th St., Waco,
Texas. 33-2tc
The colors blue, green and violet
soothe the eyes and nerves because
they reflect little light, but yellows
and reds have an opposite effect.
Dallas, Oct. 12.—The State Fair of
Texas opened last Saturday in Dallas
as a precedent-shattering statewide
showing of Concentrated Texas.
Opening day attendance, closely
approximating the 100,000 mark, was
the highest in its 51 years of activity.
The crowds have held uniformly above
records of last year during this week.
The State Fair broke a precedent
in having as its guests more news
papermen than ever before, registra-
tions passing 900.
It broke a precedent in the wide
diversity of its general livestock ex-
hibits in all divisions. Its farm ex-
1 hibits are the largest on record.
Its first few days have been ac-
claimed uniformly by visitors as the
greatest presentation of Texas and
the best balanced program of amuse-
ment and education ever offered in
the Southwest.
This great center will run full blast
with every show and every exhibit in-
tact until the closing bell at midnight
of October 22. On the first day it pre-
sented a complete show. It will be
complete when the last visitors passes
through the turnstiles.
Saturday will witness in the Cotton
Bowl the annual clash between the
Universities of Texas and Oklahoma,
the outstanding grid event of the sea-
son. Monday is Negro Day, when
Wiley College and Prairie View will
clash with a section reserved for
whites.
MORE JOBS ARE FOUND
Washington, Oct. 9.—The social
security board reported Sunday that
public employment offices placed 20
per cent more workers in jobs in pri-
vate industry during August than in
July.
Placements reached an all-time
monthly high of 254,000, a figure 34
per cent above August, 1938.
Shipments of refrigerated meat
from Uruguay to other countries have
increased 38 per cent in the last year.
Austin, Texas.—"City fathers of
Texas villages and municipalities who ■

up" on their obligations and problems

versity of Texas municipal fact-find-
