THE LINCOLN STAR - SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1922

CERESCO

Ceresco, Neb., June 10. (Special to The Star). - Sunday, June 4, the Emmanuel (Immanuel) Evangelical Lutheran church was the scene of a solemn and impressive occasion when six young people, two girls and four boys, were confirmed. The churchs crowded, chairs had to be placed in aisles to accomodate those who came to witness these young people give their confirmatin vows. The service began at 10 a.m. While the choir sang "Saviour, Like a Shephard Lead Us," the confirmands with the pastor Rev. C. Granlund, marched in and arranged themselves around the altar. The confirmands were then subjected to a thorough examination in the doctrines and teachings of the Lutheran church. After the examination which lasted an hour and a half they sang "I am a Pilgrim" whereupon they gave their confirmation vows and were blessed. The pastor then presented each with a Bible, a gift from the congregation.
Those confirmed were Violet Anderson, Edna Pearson, John Walin Jr., Clemens Brodd, Reuben Isacson and Arvid Erickson.
Confirmation day is an annual event in the Lutheran church. The senior class in the Sunday school after having had intense instruction for almost a year under the pastor himself is on that day admitted into full membership of the church, theminating celebrating of the Lord's supper of which they then
for the first time partake.

"So, if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also that are fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with Him." Two sisters and three brothers were also at his bedside when death came. Numerous other relatives and friends will feel keenly the loss of one whom they loved and respected for his many sterling qualities of character. The Grace of God in Christ is able to truly comfort all who permit the Holy Spirit to comfort them. Our prayer is that this comfort may richly abide with all.
