Last Sunday found the pilgrim at Milford, Nebraska to assist in the fifteenth anniversary of their church. Forty years ago I was the pastor to this people. Forty-five years i:go last March, I assisted in a revival meeting, when I got acquainted with most of the charter members, of whom only five were present, all the others have been translated. It was a wonderful day. I had a remarkable experience in the Sun day school. As I came into the church, I was ushered into the men's chars room, where some twenty men were seated. Their teacher said, "There are three preachers here, and I want one to volunteer to teach the elass." As I did not know the preach ers and no one volunteered I said maybe I can help you out. So I taught the class. Afterward I found out to my consternation that I had a Bishop and the new Milford preacher in the class. It was a great da v. L. NEITZEL. KENTUCKY BANK CLOSED Ru. ellville. Ky.

Race Horse Stall Two Gardens of the Bible Eden and Gethsemane EDEN (Gen. 2:8.) Its Location and Purpose: It is very difficult to locate the place where the first home of Adam and Eve was. The nearest we come to it is the delta of the Euphraties and Tigres. One great river ran through the garden and divided into four rivers where it left the garden. In the creation God planted this garden, filled it with the choicest of fruit trees for the use of man. This was to be his home. The climate was delightful, neither hot ncr cold, the proper temperature to go without clothes. Here man was to have full dominion over the whole "reation. He himself was the mas terpiece of God's handiwork. The home was prepared before man was made. To make man, God took time. While all the visible creation was brought forth by the feat of His word, not so man. Here the trinity is in session, and the conclusion is: "Let us make man in our image af ter our own likeness." In what does the image of God upon man consist? (1) The posses sion of moral powers and susceptibili ties: ()2 the pure and righteous state of his whole nature; (3) his relative position towards other ter restial creatures. The image of God in man was a mirror (a) of God: (b) of God to other creatures; (c) in which God saw himself. What blessings resulted from it? (a) Supreme good to man, himself; (b) high satisfaction and glory to God. Reflections: (1) How sadly chang ed in human nature; (2) how elevat ed in the Christian; (3) how blessed to God. The man. so wonderfully made, was given the chance to exercise his powers, first in speech. All the living creatures were brought to him to name them. Although made a full grown man. he had a child mind, which needed development, hence he was given the chance to use his mind and speech. God the first teach er. All creatures found their mate, but none was found for the man. Aggasis and A. A. Gould estimate the animal world that Adam named comprised some CO 0,0 00 species. His next assignment is to dress and keep the garden. This meant physical development, but this was pleasant work, as there were no vicious animals, nor thorns and thistles to fight; no care for his daily bread, never a rain storm only to pick the choicest fruit and eat. To be continued. L. NEITZEL. Confirmation Services At the Trinity Lutheran church were held Sunday morning, June 8th, the annual confirmation services. The class of confirniands consisted of four members, Ruth Thimgan, Nor man Gakemeier, Leonard Roeber and Adolf Menhe. After a scng by the congregation, the pastor examined the class, ask ing questions as arranged in Dr. Mar tin Luther's Small Catechism. The class responded exceedingly well with prompt and correct answers and with proofs to each statement by various Bible passages. The address, by the pastor, was based on the Pentecost story, which is indeed fitting to a confirmation service. The pastor's words of admo nition should long be remembered by the class and serve as a guide to them in their coming years. An apcropriaet hymn, "Faithfully Abide with Him," was rendered by the choir and another, "Thine For ever,'" by the mixed quartet of the congregation. After the services many congratu lations and best wishes were extend ed to the class, all honor and credit of which was indeed due to each member on that occasion their con firmation day. Augsburg Celebration The -100th anniversary of the Augs burg Confession "will be celebrated at the Trinity Lutheran church, north of Murdoch, on next Sunday after noon at 3 o'clock.

A. ZOCH, Pastor.

PLATTSMOUTH SEMI -WEEKLY JOURNAL 'ME NT Lutherans Celebrate Augs burg Annivers'y Confession Oldest Acknowledged in Christendom Espouses Prin ciples of Constitution. Throughout the world millions of Lutherans are preparing to celebrate this year the four hundredth anni versary of the reading of the Augs burg Confession before the Diet . of Augsburg on June 25th, 1530. In an age which largely demands "Not creed but life," it is noteworthy that an entire church should not only commemorate the publication of its first official confession of faith, but should adhere without reservation to a creed four hundred years old, the oldest in force among Chrisitans to day. Lutherans believe that a life with out a creed is like a ship without a rudder, that conscience can be right and can be kept unerring only when guided and shaped by definite prin ciples supplied by the Scriptures. Since the Lutheran confessors at Augsburg made the Bible the one and only source of Christian faith and confirmed every statement by clear passages of Scriptures. Luther ans today maintain that the passing of centuries can not in the least have affected their Confession and there fore still acknowledge it unflinching ly and uphold it staunchly. At the Diet of Spires in 1529 the Lutheran minority had protested against the action of the majority and thus gained for itself the name "Protestants," which is now applied also to other denominations which came into being later, but had no part in the original protest. In the following year Emperor Charles V called upon the Lutherans to prepare a statement of their teachings to be presented for consideration at the Diet of Augsburg. As is to be ex pected in the light of the controversy then raging, the document stresses the cardinal point of difference be tween the two opposing parties, the justification of man before God by faith alone, that a man is declared righteous before God not in conside ration of his own virtues and char acter but solely and alone because of the merits of Christ which have become his through faith. Lutherans point with pride to the sound political principles set forth in the Augsburg Confession. Two hun dred and fifty years before the Amer ican Constitution was written, their forefathers insisted upon the very principles which were first put into practise unreservedly by the United States, the absolute separation of Church and State and the liberty of htc individual conscience. The Augs burg Confession asserts the clearly de lined and separate spheres of Church and State. It declares cor rectly and unmistakably the rights of the State over the Christian as a subject as well as the Christian's duty to the State as a subject. It overthrew the conception that the Church is a great world-dominating power, taught the obligation of legiti mate civil ordinances, the lawfulness of Christians bearing civil office, the right of the State to demand oaths, to enact penalties and to wage "just wars" and the obligation of the Chris tian citizen to bear part in them. It made no attempt to visit civil pen alties upon men refusing to to accept its teachings. It lighted no pyres to burn heretics. An article of particular interest to Americans today is the 2Sth reading as follows: "Since the power of the Church grants eternal things, and Is exercised only by the ministry of the Word, it does not interfere with civil government. For civil government deals with other things than does the Gospel. The civil rulers defend not minds but bodily things against manifest injuries and restrain men with the sword and bodily punish ments in order to preserve civil jus tice and peace. Therefore the power of the Church and the civil power must not be confounded. The power of the Church has its own commis sion, to teach the Gospel and to ad minister the Sacraments. Let it not break into the office of another; let it not transfer the kingdoms of this world; let it not abrogate the laws of civil rulers; let it not abolish law ful obedience; let it not interfere with judgments concerning civil ordinances or contracts; let it not prescribe laws to civil rulers con cerning the form of the Common wealth." Our legislators in Washington would no doubt be greatly pleased to see these principles find more hearty and more general acceptance.

Cass County Fair to be One of the Greatest Annual Agricultural Exposition of the County September 16-19 Will Be Elaborate From SaTurrtny'a rallr Fred L.

The Cass county fair is always a very pleasant occasion and one that gives the people of this section of the state the opportunity of fully ap preciating just what a fine commun ity this county really is.

Mr. Carstens and Mr. Wood with the members of the executive com mittee of the fair are now busy ar ranging the details which are neces sary in the preliminary work and which promise for the Cass county fair a greater success than any in the past years.

As the evening drew to the close the members of the party were treated to very dainty and delicious refreshments that added very much to the pleasures of the occasion, chicken sandwiches, ice cream and cake being served that was appre ciated very much by all of the jolly party. Mrs. Thomas was assisted in the serving by her daughter, Miss Car lyene. PROVES A HERO It gives us much pleasure to re port to the Journal the heroism of one of Plattsmouth's young men, who but a few months ago moved to Burbank, California. It is none other than Elmer J. (Spike) Rummel, son of Mr. and Mrs. Will Rummel of this city. One day last week a raging forest fire broke loose in the Verdigo Hiils, just north of Burbank endangering loss of life and destruction of fine residences property. A call came in to the city man ager to send a squad of his best men to help put out the fire. "Spike" was chosen among the first and from all reports he showed what Cass coun ty. Nebraska, could produce as a fire fighter and hill climber. Spike said the most experience he ever had at climbing hills was Win tersteen Hill in old Platts. They now call him the hero fire fighter of Bur bank. PAROCHIAL P. T. A.

(Seal) Cass County Clerk. jl6-daw PAGZ FTVS Gas Pocket Hit by Well Diggers Near Herman Burns Seven Hours Before Dying Out Blow Came at 61 Feet Formation Important Striking of natural gas by a well driller at a depth of CI feet near Herman, Neb., states the World-Herald, Friday has aroused intense in terest in that locality, but experts are withholding their opinions until fui ther developments. The gas, struck on the old Frank farm two miles north of Herman at 10 a. in. Friday, shot about 20 feet into the air and burned fiercely for seven hours after James Yan Horn, the driller, applied a match to it. About 5 p. m. the flame was extin guished as water and mud filled up the hole, but the gas continued to bubble through the mud in consider able volume. Dr. C. E. Condra, director of the department of conservation and soil survey of the University of Nebraska, said he would not venture a guess as to the strike until fully informed as to the character of the formation in which the gas was found, and the lo cation of the drilling. Formation Important. "The Dakota formation, in which 011 has been found in Wyoming, ap pears also in Burt county," said Dr. Condra, "but the presence of natural gas or oil in large quantities in that locality at a depth of only 61 feet is unlikely. If the well were in the bot tom lands near Herman, it is more likely to be marsh gas. If the well is on top of the hills nearby, it is im probable that the drillers could get through the loess deposits in CI feet. In either case, the presence of red shale found between the two oil-bearing sands of the Dakota formation is considered one of the most reliable indications of the presence of petro leum. Its absence is a negative sign." Yan Horn is inclined to believe drilled at about the base of the foot hills at the edge of the bottom lands, lie says he found no red shale and no oil. as originally reported, but that he is sure the gas is natural petroleum gas, and not swamp gas. lie has had no experience in drilling for oil, however, and cannot speak as an expert on that subject. Calls Sign Encouraging. Yan Horn is inclined to believe, however, that he has struck a large pocket of natural petroleum gas. He says he was not particularly watch ing the formation at the time the gas was struck, but thinks he was in sandstone or limestone formation. The drilling was pretty hard at the time, he said. He did not notice that he struck any sand just before the gas gushed out. "In any case," Dr. Condra said when told of the strike Friday night, "the finding of what appears to be a large deposit of natural petroleum gas is always encouraging. We shall follow the results with great inter est." Yan Horn says he will resume drilling this morning, but whether it is for gas or oil or water, he doesn't know. The discovery came upon the thirty-first anniversary of the tor nado of June 13, 1900, which wiped the town of Herman off the map with a loss of several lives.
