ANNIVERSARY SERVICE TO BE PUT ON THE AIR Trinity Evangelical Lutheran to Hold Big Church Event. Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, corner East and Ohio Sts., will celebrate fiftieth anniversary of dedication of church on Sunday. An extensive program has been adopted. The speakers of the day are the President of Concordia College. Ft. Wayne, the Prof. M. "V-uecke; the Dean of Concordia Seminary. St. Louis, the Prof. J. H. C. Fritz, and Rev.

Rupprecht of Chicago, and Prof. P. G. Elbert, the organist of the congregation. Trinity, the Downtown Lutheran Church, was erected in the year 1874 and 1875 by Lutherans who at that time were members of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church at S. East and Georgia Sts. The building and the equipment and site cost the eighty members $51,302.72. The first pastor was Rev. Peter Seuel. He previously had held a charge in Albany, N. T. Rev. Seuel served the 'Congregation without interruption from 1875 until 1910, and saw the small flock grow to a large congregation. In 1910 the congregation extended a call to Rev. J. D. Matthius, who had held a charge in Evanston, 111., for twenty years. He is still the pastor and has an assistant since 1922. The latter, Rev. M. E. Reinke, had served in a mission-field at Rabey, Minn., prior to accepting the position as assistant pastor of Trinity. Rev. J. D. Matthius is also president of the Central District of the Missouri Synod. The first councilmen of the church in 1875 were: F. Ostermeyer, Charles H. Schwier, E. Kaller, W. F. Piel, L Meyer, W. Dedert and Charles Moeller. During the fifty years there were 1670 baptisms, 745 marriages, 844 funerals and 1,211 catechumens at confirmation. In 1915 a modern school and parish house, at the corner of North Arsenal and E. Market Sts., was dedicated. To build and equip this building the members contributed over $41,000.00. As early as 1872, the members of the congregation maintained a parochial school for their children on E. Market, on the site at present known as the M. & H. Cooperative Laundry. The parochial school for Christian education and training of the children, is one of the characteristics of churches affiliated with the Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio and other states. In 1876 Trinity joined this Synod and has ever since been a part of it.

Meighan, as the hero of the story, kisses in approved fashion. In this picture, far and away from the beaten path, Meighan plays the dual role of Tom Donahue, a New York traffic cop, and Lord Fitzhugh, wealthy and aristocratic Irish sportsman. Because of his unfailing good humor in handling New York crowds, Officer Donahue wins a popularity contest that gives him $2,000 and a trip to Europe. He decides to visit relatives in Ireland. Once there he runs into all sorts of adventurers due to his striking resemblance to Lord Fitzhugh. Donahue takes advantage of this in a most ingenious way. Not only that, but he nips a plot in the bud to kidnap the nobleman, foils a plot to rob him, and finally wins the love of Fitzhugh’s pretty sister, Lady Gwendolyn. In the supporting cast are Lois Wilson, Cecil Humphreys, Ernest Lawford, Charles Hammond, Louise Grafton and S. B. Oarrickson.
