I have nover given you anything before that another has written, but I am sure you will bear with md this time. ' If you have had it slammed up to you us I have that tho Lutheran church is a foreign church and not overly loynl, this will do you good. It wns spoken at New York at the merger meeting of tho United Lutheran church in America Ajnerica by Dr. T. E. Schmauk, who was tho president of the General Council previous to the merger. It was mado following nn address by n representative of tho Educational Bureau of the National Government. "Tho spcecli of Dr. Schmauk camo rushing forth like a mighty torrent, and the convention was swept oir its feet with ono burst after another of applrtuso." Tho Doctor said, answering the bu reau's representative in which ho spoko of the efforts of his burenu to Americanize foreigners and the as sistnnco they proposed giving in that direction: "I am hoarlily in accord with all thnt has been said by this worthy representative of tho government, but I also feel, however, that while wq tiro most heartily interested in tho foreign work, wo are not a for eign born church. It is diflicult to avoid tho impression that tomo of our otriciulB at Washington believe thnt to lie a Lutheran is to bo a for eigner. "I want to suy here, in view of re cent statements in print, thnt tho Luthornn church was in North Amer ica threo years before the Pilgrim Fathers ever stepped their foot upon www ftngiunu son. i want to say iioro wim tnero wore Lutherans on these rocky shores of Manhattan two years after tho Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock. I want to say farth er that there was nn organized Lu theran church hero in Mnnhattan 130 years before the American Revolu tion ever took plnce. I want to say that had it not boon for Benjamin Franklin nnd tho German Lutherans in Pennsylvania, the combination of tho United Colonies into the United Sttitos would have been impossible It was the Germans of Pennsylvania who stood behind Franklin as against tho Quakers that enabled the Revolu tionary war to succeed. "I want to say still farther that In tny doalings with Washington my congregation has been characterized or n foreign born congregation. My congregation, ns I already said in tills conversation, hod a pastor who becani'J tho first speaker of tho first House or Representatives of the United States. With their towns- man, my congregation sent flour and money in 1774 to Boston . after tho ; famous ten party there and the clos- , ing of the port of Boston, in order ' to help preserve American liberty. ' in the highest tower or my steeple there hangs a silver bejl that was cast in liVO, nnd from its heights be gan to ring out into all the region round about me the inscription that Is found on its face, nnd that inscrln tion is, "Proclaim liberty aloud to all the nations of earth." "The people of my congregntlon furnished one general, ono colonel, nnd perhaps from one-third to three fourths of every member in it to the Revolutionary wnr. And then, todny, in writing to the pastor of that con- jgrcgation, Washington hints 'n for eign born congregation. "On the 24th of this montli of No vember, it will bo two hundred nnd ,! i?m i, i ... niieuii yeurs since, in iiuj, me 1jU- theran church in Philadelphia, with solonln ccremonial, sot apart Justice Pnlkner in probably what was the . .

"Following up this, Dr. John A. Singmnstcr of Gettysburg Lutheran Theological Seminary, and the last president of tho General Synod save ono before the merger, presented the following memorandum: "Laurens von Buskirk came to New Amsterdam in 1G55. or two hundred an(i B:xtv.three vnnrs nra His great rrrnnflcnn vnt fi-rnof.n'.nnf-N,H,1fn l, :""'7i; nZ'i,?'r.Z":X;,V "' -"".. ... ........VII1I.H.I.

What the Lutheran church needs is a publicity department, nnd we have it in the National Lutheran Council. Wo need not bo ashamed of our history. We have 200,000 Lutheran men in the service.

How to trout Seed Oats Treatment of seed oats to prevent smut is desirable, unless it is possi tively known that tho field in which the seed was grown wus free from smut, says Nebraska Experiment Station bulletin No. 100, entitled Oats Investigations." A formalin treatment is recommended as fol lows: Add commercial formalin C40 per cent solution of formaldehyde) i wiiicr in mc proportion ot one pound t6 40 gnllons of water. If made too strong tho seed will bo damaged. Pile the seed upon tho floor, or it may be treated in a wagon box. Apply the formalin solution at tho rate of nbout three quarts to one bushel of seed. During the op plication the oats should bo thoroly stirred in order to dampen all. Then cover tho oats with empty sacks or blankets for several hours or over night. Uncover and spread the oats thin, nnd dry rapidly, stirring them occasionly. Replacing them in s.icks or other contniners infested with outs smut should bo avoided. Infect ed snqks nre safe nfter being dipped in forninldehydo solution nnd dried. It niny bo nccessnry to adjust the rate of planting to nllow for rwoII. ing of tho seed cnused !v tlin n-.ni0. ture. If sown with nn endgnto seed er the onts need not bo dried before seeding, nltho with n grnin drill this is nccessnry since dnmp oats do not feed well thru u drill. Ice Season it Over It is quite probnblo that the Ne braska ice senson is not over. Con sidornblo time remains for farmers to harvest on abundant supply of ico and none should feel discouraged bo- S?,US01IU,, ,icc houso is still empty. Tho United States Department of Agriculturo is laying particular em pilosis on tho uso of ico by farmers. It may seem like much work of doubtrul value, especially if the ice is not very thick, but it will bo ap preciated when tho Jong, hot days of summer come. Ico only four inches thicH is worth harvesting. However, it is likely Nobraska will havo weather yet that will inako thick ice. THE HKHALlT. Sl.25 Per Yr a 8SSSBaSS933SSSMB ft I lis 1 G- F.
