0ELE8RATED YESTERDAY

IWAS THE TWENTIETH ANNI VERSARY OF FIRST ENGLISH LUTHERAN A. REV. E. G. HOWARD Delivered an Anniversary Sermon at The Morning Service Large Congregation. OTHER LUTHERAN IPASTORS Rendered Congratulatory Addresses at the Evening ServicesSpecial Music. Yesterday the First. English Lutheran church celebrated its twentieth anniversary. Excellent programs "were rendered at both the morning ' ami evening services, which were attended by large congregations. At the morning service the following anniversary sermon was delivered by the pastor, the Rev. E. G. Howard. The Secret of a Conquering Church. ll'Chron. 14:11 And Asa cried un1o the Lord His God, and said, Lord, it is nothing with thee to help whether with many or with them that have iiv TjoWei : helrr us, O Lord our Gdd; for we rest on. thee, and in thy name we go against this multtitude. 0 Lord, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee. This is a memorable hour for the Lutherans of the First church. Today we commemorate an event of world wide significance; an event that happened 3S7 years ago tomorrow when a German professor and Doctor in -Theology at the hour of noon nailed to the door of the . castle church in Wittenberg the ninety-five theses. Thus was laid the first stone in the edifice of the Lutheran church and indeed of all Protestantism. From that beginning, wrought in faith by Martin Luther who was all unconscious of the issue involved, hut who, true to his conscience, was resolved to declare the truth of God's word at whatever cost, there has come to he; the great church of the reformation that bears his name, numbering 70,100,727 baptized members, and a total Protestant church of 140,000,00 souls. But this is not all that makes this a memorable hour for us. We commemorate today another exent that occurred 20 years ago on the 11th tay of October 1SS4, when this church with which so many of usre now connected, was organized. - sFrom that humble beginning irtthe hall of the Y. M. C. A., with 18 charter members, of whom seven are still connected with this organization, this church lias grown to a place of influence in this community and in the synod with which it is connected. Tn these twenty years of its history it has acquired this substantial property, the church in which we worship and the parsonage connected therewith, representing a valuation of about $22,500. It has received into membership 047 adults and 22$ infants by baptism. Out of this adult membership it has lost sixty by death. One hundred four have been dismissed by letter. Eighty-two have been lost to the church by indifference or removal from the city. i We have today a nominal membership of 400 adults of whom about 340 can be classed as communicants, while we have about 100 baptized hut unconfirmed children in our church. Although the material is abundant and the subject interesting this is not the time for a 'detailed accouut i the history of this organization. (Continued on fifth page.)

The recently organized football team is making arrangements to play the Earlham varsity team on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. That date on Earlham 's schedule has never been filled and the city boys are anxious to get it. Probably the same lineup will be used by the city team as was used in the game last Thursday with the Quakers. With a little practice and a few signals there is no doubt but what the city team could defeat any team of the same weight in the State.

What is thought to be the oldest letter- in existence has been found near this city. It is written on a thin sheet of rolled lead folded in the center and sealed with wax. On the outside is the address, which reads: "This letter to be given into the hands of Nausias or Thrasieks." The letter itself reads Muesiergos sends greetings to all of your house, and asks you to send him a blanket or two, sheepskin and some .strong sandals to be used on the march. He will return them as soon as he can." M. Wilhelm, secretary of the Austrian ...arehaeoloival society in this city, who succeeded in making out the contents of the letter, thinks that the letter dates from the fourth centurv before Christ.

0IS0USSE! MR. GEORGE EARLY RETURNS FROM NEW ORLEANS, LA. AND TALKS ON BUSINESS OUTLOOK Cotton Crop .Will Average .Nearly Seven Million Bales This Year Best in Years. PHIim.U CANAL STATEMENT Pleases the People In Sympathy With the Republican Policy, But Wont Support the Ticket. George Early, formerly of this city and at present general manager of a big steel plant in Pittsburg, was in the city yesterday visiting friends er. route from New Orleans to Pittsburg. New Orleans is in the midst of a building boom and Mr. Early has been in that city making contracts for furnishing steel structural work for the many sky-scrapers that are to be erected in the metropolis of the south. In speaking of the business outlook in the South, Mr. Early said that it was never better. "Raw cotton is now .bringing; from 92 cents . to 10 cents a pound," said Mr. Early, "and Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Consitution, successor to the great Henry W. Grady and one of the greatest orators and thinkers in the Southj' told me that the eottori crop this year would average between six and seven hundred million bales. He also said that Atlanta was never so prosperous as it is now and that capital in that city is planning to build a railroad from 'Atlanta to Mobile and thence to the sea board because of freight discrimination on the part of the railroads entering the city. Atlanta is growing rapidly and so many sky-scraping business blocks have been erected that a section of the city looks like New York. "Like Atlanta, New Orleans never had such a business boom as Panama Canal and it is now freely predicted that when that great waterway is completed New Orleans will be the second city of the country. Unlike the Democrats of the North the Southerners all give Theodore Roosevelt credit for putting this project through and but for the Booker T. Washington incident he would be as popular in the Southland as was President McKinley. The people of the South are also thoroughly in sympathy with the policy of the present Republican administration and will vote against it just because they have the habit of voting the Democratic ticket and at the same time knowing that their vote will not injure Roosevelt's prospects of being elected. There is one reason I believe why the Southern people will always vote the Democratic ticket, no matter how distasteful it is to them and that is because all the negroes vote the Republican ticket." ELKS TEAM Will Play Football With Earlham College. The Elks football team which played the business college team last Friday will meet the same team again Wednesday on the school athletic grounds on East Main street. The teams are about evenly matched and a good game is promised. The game last week was won by the Elks and the Business College bovs are eroing into the game Wednesday with the intention of winning it.

Mr. Schultz was a widower and leaves cne son, Geoi-ge Schultz, who is employed at the Starr Piano Works. A particularly sad incident connected with Mr. Schultz's death was the fact that his son went to Dayton Saturday to attend a surprise party and word of his father's death could not be gotten to him a,s no one knew where the party was to be held. When the son returned last evening he receivedhis first information of the sad occurrence. Mr. Schultz and his son George made their home with Mr. Schultz's brother, J. J.

He writes: "We vote for Theodore Roosevelt because of his party the only party, with the exception of two years, which since the civil war has had the will and opportunity to frame and pass affirmative measures fOr the welfare of the country; which has faced constructive legislation; which has surmounted the policies and sometimes has had to surmount the obstruction of its opponents; which assures to the country a stable and consistent policy and of which Theodore Roosevelt, by the merit of his capacity and courage, is not only the candidate, but the responsible hader."
