IN MEMORIAM ' Rose J. Kern, 1902-1951 In life, in death, she gave unquestion- able testimony to her faith: I know that my Redeemer liveth. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. Although word of the serious illness of Mrs. F. W. Kern had been received re- cently members of Salem Lutheran Church and other friends of the Kern family were shocked at the news of her death Monday, September 17, at 10:30 a.m. Mrs. .Kern was a native of New York where she was baptized and confirmed in Trinity Lutheran Church. Her father was a music teacher, and her mother was a professional singer. From them she in- herited the gift of song, of which she gave generously. She was married to the Rev. Fred W. Kern September 22, 1927. and served with him in three parishes, Houston and Austin, Texas and Fremont, Nebras- ka. Two of these were mission congrega- tions where there was ample need for her leadership and ability. When her husband was appointed by the National Lutheran Council to duty in South America she took up a temporary 1-esidence in Austin, Texas, and transfer- ed her membership' to Faith Lutheran Church, a year old mission Where She sang in the choir and taught in the church and Vacation School--all to the glory of God. Persistent pain compelled her to seek medical aid which revealed that she was suffering from cancer of the stomach and bone. The disease progressed rapidly and she passed away after only a few weeks of illness. God' was merciful to spare her a lingering illness. ,The funeral was con- ducted by her pastor in Fairth Lutheran Church at 4:00 p.m., Wednesday, Septem- ber 19. The music used was I Know That My Redeemer Liveth from Handel's Mes- siah. The same theme was also the text of the Scripture reading and the meditation. Burial'was, made in Austin Memorial Park. Besides her husband she leaves three children to mourn her untimely passing- Gerard in the Armed Forces stationed at San Antonio, Texas, Byron, student at Wittenberg College, Springfield, Ohio, and Judy at home. She also leaves a brother of Lakewood, New Jersey and many, many friends to whom the memory of her con- sistent Christian living will ever beckon them on till they meet her again. Salem Lutheran Congregation was rep- resented at the funeral by Mrs. Herman Stelk, Mrs. Henry Moeller, Mrs. G. E. Hickman, Alfons Kraucuns, and Mertyn Suhr. An organ fund has been set up by Faith Lutheran Church, Austin, Texas, as a memorial to her. There is also an undes- ignated memorial fund for her set up at Salem Lutheran Church. Anyone who wishes to add' to either fund should call the church office.-L. H. K STRANGER APPRQCIATES . OPEN CHURCH A Members of Salem should be interested in th-e following note which was found in the church office one day this summer: Thank you so much for leaving the church open. It is the old fashioned way which I thought had gone forever. The quiet, and deeply full church is beautiful, of God. -A Lover of Open Churches. This seems to be tion which is often an answer to a ques- asked, Does anyone ever benefit from the open church?
