Note from Rev. G. H. Zimmerman
SMAI1woop. Md. Augu

SMALLwooD, Nd, August 2, 1886.
EDIToRs DEMOCRATIC ADVOCATE In your
worthy paper of last week there appeared an
article under the caption interruption of a
Funeral, in which the action of the trustees
of the German Lutheran Trinity Church is
partially misrepresented Permit me, there
fore, to set the whole matter in its proper
light.
First, desire to state that the telegram
calling me to officiate at the funeral Of the
deceased child of William and Wilhelmina
Zeller was not delivered to me before Tues
day, the 9th of July, which made it impos-
sible for me to return from Brooklyn, N. T.,
at the appointed time and oficiate at said
funeral.
Further, wish all men to understand that
no ill feeling against Mr.. Zeller and family,
nor against Rev. DIR. Kuhns and his congre-
CATION, actuated our trustees to refuse DR.. X.
the use of our house of worship. Nothing
whatever but the rule of our church, which
forbids the use of our church to any minister
of any denomination not enthusiastically con-
nected with the Missouri Synod or its ac-
knowledged sister synods, actuated our trus-
tees to act as they did. Yet, while proper
observance of this rule made it impossible to
permit DR.. K. to officiate in our church, no
one would have objected had DR.. K. oficiated
at the adjoining cemetery. But after Mr..
Zeller learned that DIR. K. would not be ad-
mitted to the church, he refused to have his
child buried at our graveyard, and without
coming near our church at all the funeral
procession stopped at the Methodist Church,
where funeral services and interment took
place.
In conclusion. must state, had Mr.. Zeller
been satisfied with the arrangements for lay
services that had been made, there would
have been no necessity to require the services
of any minister, or to call this rule and prac-
tice of our church arbitrary, and much trouble
and many bitter feelings had been avoided.
Hoping that you will kindly insert this, re-
main, yours respectfully,
G. H. ZIMMERMAN,
Pastor of Ev. Luth. Trinity Church.

During the thunder storm last Friday night
the lightning struck E. N. Davis barn at the
ventilator, and ran down to the roof, splitting
it into four pieces and damaging some of the
rafters. 1t also struck a large chestnut tree
on Burgess ". Williams farm, near the barn,
and demolished it. The waters were very
high. Morgan Run Valley was mostly inun-
dated, and great deal of fencing washed
away. More damage was done in Joe's Val
ley than usual. Many fences were washed
away, some of them post and rail and high
staked fences.
The roads are in a very bad condition,
caused by so much washing.
Flowing wheat ground, getting out potatoes
and putting away oats are among the chief
duties of the day.
