CENTENNIAL PROGRAM OF LUTHERAN CHURCH AT PERSHING SUNDAY
(Special to The Palladium) PERSHING, Ind., Sept. 21.-Celebra-tion of the centeninal anniversary of the Germantown Lutheran church, which was the first Lutheran church established in the county, will be held on the church grounds on Sunday, Oct. 1. The centennial sermon will be preached by Rev. M. L. .Wagner, D. D., of Dayton, 'J., who holds the distinction of being the onl minister produced by this congregation. He is a son of the former Edward Wagner who lived south of Heiser's station. An all day program is planned, beginning at 10 o'clock. A picnic basket dinner will be served on the lawn at noon. A rjaeeanr alsn will hf nrpspnt-
ed by the congregation in the after
noon Deiore tne centennial sermon. Proud of Minister Members of the congregation of this Church take rrirlf in rhp Inn? service
which its ministers have given it. Two of the former ministers, Rev. John Insensee and Father Hursch rest in the cemetery now and two others were recalled to the charge three separate times. One of these, Rev. Jacob Wesner, supervised the construction of the Dresent building in- IKQn and himself
v I O - - " 'J " " " lived to the age of 80 years. He served
ine congregation for seven years the first term and three years in his sec
ond charge. Dr. M. J. Stirewalt also was recalled repeatedly. As originally established, the church used the German language, and this continued to be the tongue until 1S54, when the younger element, coming into greater influence moved for the adoption of English. Split in Church This revolutionary innovation was bitterly fought by the older members, and for a time the dispute caused a split in the church, the German speaking worshippers establishing another church which lived for a short time. Finally, however, the division was healed. The death of Rev. John Insensee, who was pastor at this time, was thought to have been hastened by sorrow over the contention. The first church building in this location was a log house, originally built for a school house. It stood on the same two acres which was bordered on the north side by the Stata Road which has since been laid on a route farther to the south. .
The first pastor, Rev. Jacob Gruber,
also Btill holds the record of the long est service, of 13 years. The cemetery was dedicated in the first year, one ot the pioneers falling dead at field work. Because none of the forest had been
cleared as yet, he was buried immedi
ately in the rear of the church, with
a rail fence built against the church
wall to guard the grave. This grave is still there, unmarked and lost now. The-oldest marked grave in the cemetery is one dug three years later, for a child. In 1833 a brick building was erected, which stood until the present building succeeded it in 1S90. Each building: closely neighbored its predecessor, and the spot where the first building stood is carefully marked now. Program for the Day The program for the day, which 13
under the supervision of the Sundayschool superintendent, Henry Ber'tscK will begin with the registration at 10 o'clock Sunday morning. The services will be opened with prayer by Rev. M. L. Wagner and an address of welcome will be given by Charles U
Hockett, with a response by Aldona Yauckey. After reading of letters from absent members, a report of the Willing Workers' organization by Mrs. Nancy Compton, and a talk on "Our Contribution to the World War." by Homer Bertsch, a benediction will be pronounced and the congregation will adjourn for the picnic dinner. The afternoon program will begin at 1:30 with a song on the lawn by the male quartette of the First English Lutheran church of Richmond, followed by a pageant given by the congr-
gation. Uriah Bertsch will give a history of the church and William Gipe will recite the history of the cemetery. After a prayer by Dr. J. P. Miller ot the Richmond St. Paul's Lutheran church, Rev. M. L. Wagner will preach the centennial sermon.

THE
PALLADIUM
"The Newspaper th&t Everyone Reads" and will continue for thirty days
(J The memoirs of Wilhelm II, desposed German Kaiser, will be more widely circulated and it will arouse more critical comment than any series of articles ever before published, and will appear simultaneously throughout the world, in the leading newspapers of the United States, as well as in France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, iustralia, South Africa, Scandinavia and the Teutonic countries. Criticism of the ex-Kaiser's opinions and statements will be voiced all over the
world by editors, historians, soldiers and statesmen. He attacks Woodrow Wilson, and charges violation of promises made in the fourteen points. He voices his belief in a secret treaty of the United States, England and France. (f The misrepresentation and misconception of Wilhelm II, nd the most colossal failure in history, this will be apparent to our readers as his account proceeds. But it is not for completeness or accuracy of fact that this narrative deserves consid
eration. It presents in one respect truthful and permanently valuable revelation. (f The world has always been insatiably curious about the men who have posed as its rulers by their own prowess, or by the caprice of fate; and in this autobiography it will find, and expose by his own hand, the vanities and weakness that is chiefly the make-up of the character of the man, once hero to all the credulous, now hero only to himself. '. Look for the first installment Saturday, Sept. 23.
Much Illuminating Correspondence Hitherto Unpublished Intimate Reminiscences, including Secret Meetings with the Russian Czar and English King. The Governments of the Allied Nations are Assailed. The United States and Woodrow Wilson are Attacked. Mistakes of German Diplomacy are Realized. Personal Errors are Admitted. German Imperialistic Intent and Honor are Defended. The manner and tone of the Memoirs reveal the writer fully for the first time and explain bitterness against forms of imperialism of majority of members of present German Republic
