Lutheran Church Notes
DAKOTA CITY-SALKM
Last Sunday was a fine day and
wo had a fine day at the churches.
You know that a fine day at. the
churches means for you that you had
a splendid uplift. Two men can go
to tho same service, one bo edified
and tho other received nothing. It
depends on where your heart is. A
woman and her two daughters once
went to hear Mark Twain give a
humorous lecture. Twain came on
the platform, said something bril
liant, which started the mirth.
Every body laughed but those three
women. They didn't see anything
funny in what ho had said. The
mirth grew, but still those three
couldn't laugh with the rest of the
folks, and after they had Bat out
half the laugh they carried their
grouch away with them, declaring
there was nothing funny about
Mark Twain. Two men went up to
the temple to pray. One came away
justified and the other didn't What
a man gets at a church service de
pends on what ho goes for and the
state of his heart. We had a glad
day last Sunday.
But there was a mixture. Glad
ness has an attendant, very often in
disappointment. We missed Borne
of our people. Someweresick. All
were sorry because they could not
bo there. The people missed them,
they spoke kindly of them. Just to
be remembered kindly is a balm for
the heart. It sooths the spirit and
- it is so easily applied. A kind word
is as good as a dose 01 medicine.
How much you would rather have a
kindly, good natural physician visit
yoii than a man who tends his pa
tient as a mechanic tends a machine.
Human nature is susceptible to
kindness and thoughtfulness. To
use it for Christ is Christlike. That
is our aim.
Our communion at Salem was
quite, well attended. We reioiced
much to see tho altar full of those
who were confirmed a week ago.
Tho church must care for them,
must make a place for them, must use
them in some capacity. The pastor
knows they respond to responsibility.
It would be a lovely thing for these
young folks, as far as possible, to
commune with their parents. When
you are as old ns your father -and
mother you will be mighty glad of
it. One of the pastor's happy recol
lections is, that he always sat with
his mother in church and communed
with her. She did not sit in
that part of tho houso thnt
ho preferred, and while ho had tho
privilago of Betting where he pleas
ed, he sat with her. She appreciated
it and every mother will appreciate
tho attentions of her children. I
know tho young folks like to get to
gether. Hut there is no more bles
sed thing in tho church than a fami-
Jy all together.
Tho Heizer stringed quartet gave
us a fine concert Wednesday night,
and all enjoyed it. Thanks, Mr.
Heizer. After the concert -they
were taken to Mr. C. C. Heorman's
homo for ice cream and cake. They
were delighted with their reception
by Salem. They have given us half
' a promise to come over some Sun
day morning for service.
Wc did what we could in rearrang
ing our Sunday school classes last
Sunday. We got on nicely and trust
there will bo tho same sort of finish.
Why shouldn't there be?
Childrens' Day services next Sun
day a. in. at Salem and in the even
ing at Emmanuel.
Emmanuel Sunday school is to be
commended in opening the Sunday
school tho tho pastor was unavoida
blp late.
Benevolence last Sunday at Salem
was $22.05. Net for Nnchusa last
Wednesday, ?G..ir.
vEvery body is glad in our church
work.

PART II.
Tho notion that a defenseless condi
tion begets a perpetual peace seems to
have been prevalent after the ltevolu
tlon, for with tho end of the war tho
Continental Army was dispersed with
the exception of n few scattering men
to guard public stores. John Adams,
second President of the Republic look.
Ing farther than tho mnss of his fellow
citizens salfl: "National defense Is one
of the curduial duties of n statesman.
The delightful Imaginations of univer
sal and perpetual peace have often
amused, but have never been credited
by me."
Ou the day following tho order dis
solving the army totally ignoring fh"
disasters attending the empl ;. rum o.
raw troops in the devolution Con
gress authorized the raising of 700 men
to protect the frontiersmen from In
dians. This diminutive army had
scarcely been absorbed by the frontiers
than Shay's Rebellion broke out in
Massachusetts (178G). "Clamorous for
paper money and determined to resist
taxation tinder state laws," 1,000 mal
contents forced the Supremo Court of
the Stuto to adjourn so as to prevent
the collection of debts; and then they
moved 2,000 strong to Springfield to
seize the government arsenal.
The assault failed, state militia event
ually restored order, but the Incident
brought the people to a realization of
the fact that the government had no
army with which to preserve internal
order. So the dream of a nation with
out an army wub soon dispelled.
Cahie now the constitution of tho
United States supplanting the Articles
of Confederation to "insure domestic
tranquility" to "PROVIDE FOR THE
COMMON DEFENSE," giving Con
gress and tho President real military
powers and placing the responsibility
for national defense at their doors.
But still the people and the consti
tuted authority failed to distinguish
between citizenry enrolled and soldiers
seasoned and disciplined and so the
slaughter went on.
Presently Gen. Harmar was sent
against the Miami Indians with a force
of 1.-153 and was defeated because the
greater part of his column was com
posed of untrained and unfit militia. A
year later St. Clair headed an expedi
tion against the same tribe and that
enterprise failed also on account of the
same organic weakness. In these two
expeditions more white men were
killed than In the two most sanguinary
battles" of the Revolution.
Universal Military Service.
Convinced by these events that na
tional defense could not bo wholly neg-
, lected, Congress next endeavored to
satisfy public opinion by tho passage
of an act to establish a uniform militia
throughout the United States.
This act "laid down tho truly Demo
cratic doctrine that every able-bodied
male citizen owed military service to
his country." It provided for enroll
ment and recruiting, but instead of one
national army it provided for thirteen
or more state armies, "a wild and Im
practicable scheme," which as subse
quent history, shows still left the na
tion in an unarmed condition.
The War of 1812.
Now came the war of 1812 after a
generation of fiuh'preparedness vwhich
many people had mistaken for ade
quate preparedness. We shall see from
this struggle how costly was our lack
of an clllclent military policy.
Great Britain had in Canada at the
declaration of war 4,500 effective
Hroops; our standing army was 0,744
strong, and widely scattered. Con
gress had authorized an array of 35,000
six mouths before, but the measure
did not succeed. We were unable
therefore to take advantage of tho en
emy's weakness. Adequately prepared
we" could have ended the war in one
campaign of six months against so
small a force. In theory and in legis
lative action we had abundant troops,
but in reality wo had nothing.
Mutiny of Troops.
At the outset tho Governors of Mas
sachusetts and of Connecticut refused
to supply their quota of troops and
every American offensive movement
iuucu uecuuse mo muiua mat uiu re
port were without discipline and wero
determined not to lenvo tho country.
They luglorlously surrendered at De
troit; 4,000 suddenly broke Into a panic
ut the sight of a prairie fire In the
West and rushed homo In disorder, and
Gen. William Henry Harrison's nrmy
of 10,000 was ineffective and rebellious.
On the Niagara frontier a few regu
lars and militia crossed to Qucenstowu,
drove' the Rrltlsh out and later lost the
battlo because tho rest of the militia
men refused to go out of the state.
A secoud "army" was collected at the
Niagara frontier, but It too broke up in
disorder, excepting tho. regulars who
retired to winter quarters'.
In this year we had 05,000 "soldiers"
under pay, while tho British had but
1,200 men In upper Canada. Tho Amer
ican Jj83 Jn .killed, jvvoujided Jin.d,irls-
oilofa liftho various actions of llioyear '
was about 2.G0O, almost two victims
for every one of tho enemy In tipper
Canada 1
Tho disgraceful failures at tho be- 0
ginning of the war wero added to and
culminated In tho capturo and tho
burning of the capitol nt Washington
In 1814, after a force of militia, sup
posed from Its numbers to bo mlequute,
had fled before the Invaders.
Navy a National Institution.
Tho brilliant success in this war of
our forces on tho sea Is no part of
this story of tho nation's military pol
icy. The nnvy succeeded becauso its
maintenance had never been Intrusted
to tho states, nor had the government
depended upon a "hasty pudding" ar
rangement on sen as had been dono in
military matters.
All tho mistakes of the Revolution
had been repeated and new mistakes
wero made in the conduct of the strug
gle in 1812.
Civilian Judgment in military mat
ters had once more prolonged a war, '
lost an opportunity to gain Canada,
and Ignbrnntly sent mnny men to their
deaths.
Throughout the war of 1812 we em
ployed from beginning to end 527,054
troops to copo with tho enemy's forco
of less than 10,500 men for two and
one-half ycarsl
The Mexican War.
In striking contrast to all this was
tho splendid series of successive victo
ries in tho Mexican War, ending with
the capture of Mexico City.
Of tho mnny conditions entering Into
tho success of the Mexican War two
alone are pertinent. We were better
prepared and we 1nl f .v"-"- .i'-.-ji
'" '.'... l t !., ilrlu m Licit up to
i....t tiu.u had been rejnrded as the
great bulwark of nntlonal ( Vnse.
In the War of 1812 only 10 per cent,
of our forces wero regulars, while In
the Mexican "War thirty per cent, of
our forces wero regulars.
"In one war," says Upton comparing
1812 and tho Mexican AV'nr, "an army
of more than 0,000 raw troops posted
In defense of our own capital fled with
a loss of but 10 killed and wounded; In
tho other a force of less than 5,000
trained volunteers supported by a few
regular troops overthrow a Mexican
army of four times its number."
"In tho War of 1812 tho combined
force of regulars and volunteers who
had seen twelve or more months of
service was but 12 per cent.; in the
Mexican War the combined force who
had seen more than 12 months of serv
ice was 83 per cent!
tWrito to your Senator and your Con
gressman urging them to work for
the immediate adoption of a policy
that will absolutely insure tho nation
against war.
