GERMAN LUTHERANS.
They Stand by The ''Creature''

The German Lutheran Synod re-
Gently in session at Youngstown,
Ohio, thus delivered itself in de-
Tense of the Creature" that is do
ing so much to demoralize all crea-
ton:
eve, as a Church, cannot partic-
ipate in the present churchly polit-
ical (so-cal.ed) temperance move
ment, because it does not discrimi-
nate between spiritual and civil
government, but confounds the
two. The sphere of the civil Gov
eminent, as the State, is to prevent
vice in legal way, while the mis-
sion of the Church is to deliver
mankind from the servitude of sin,
through faith in Christ or in an
evangelical way. Another reason
why the Church can not identity
itself with tho movement is because
it does not discriminate between
the abuse and use of the creature.
No creature of God is in itself to
be condemned, whereas every abuse
of the creature is sinful and leads
to destruction"
We submit that there lie in the
foregoing a tenderness for the crea-
ture that is hardly warranted by
the murderous nature of this vic
ious worm of the STILL"
