For such absolute loyalty the Luth
eran church alao stands. The Luth

Lutheran insistence upon strict separ

stood by some. There are those who
Imagine that there la a lack of pa
triotism among Lutherana because
the Lutheran clergy and cangrega
tlons do not dabble In politics. But
there are no letter loyal citizens and
Americana than the Lutherans. The
Lutheran knows that in awearlng al
legiance to his country he haa called
upon God aa a witness to the truth
and as a revenger of falsehood. The
Lutheran church teaches ita membera
and haa taught all Its members all
these years that they must he subject
to the government which rules over
them and protects them. Every Sun
day a prayer Is sent up from each
Lutheran pulpit ln behalf of our gov
ernment and all its officials. There
seems to be a general opinion that
the kaiser is a Lutheran. But the
kaiser never was a Lutheran and is
today not a Lutheran. The state
church of Germany, over which the
kaiser la high priest, is not the Luth
eran church. Our Lutheran church
has absolutely nothing to do and
nothing ln common with the state-
church of Germany. History plainly
states that thousands of Lutherans
emigrated from Germany to eacape
the eccleala8tical tryanny of the Ger
man government and to enjoy the
freedom of ronarienee which the TJ.
S. government granta its citizens and
which we will continue to enjoy un
der the shadow of her flag. For that
reason the Lutheran boys flocked to
the colors. At the beginning of the
year there were 200.000 Lutherans in
the camps, which means a greater
number of Lutheran fighters than any
other Protestant denomination.
"If we thus work, all of us. In
unity and harmony, (hen alone and
above them will the star spangled
banner continue to wave in the fu
ture, as it has done in the past, over
the land of the free and the home' of
the brave."

THE ECONOMY CAR

And the Picture Doesn't Begin to Do It JusticeBut Most of ALL, ECONOMICAL
It is graceful in design and beautiful in finish smart and stylish in ever detail. Nothing lacking for
beauty, comfort, performance or endurance. Drive all day and you won't be cramped or tired. In fuel
economy this car is almost without an equal 18 to 22 miles to the gallon of gasoline are the rule rather
than the exception. The steering is the easiest; the control the simplest. Easy riding whether fully

Reliable quality is a certainty in the Elcar. Its buliders learned to put in quality years ago when

enough to fulfill any motor car requirement.
