German Church.


To the Editor d tbs Ledger.
Mexico, Mo-, Sept. TN re-
gard to the artlcle dated August %
and published in the LEDGER by
our friend, August Hubert, about
the German Church question, will
ask friend August Hubert if he has
not been himself around among
some of the members of the Pro-
gress congregation, asking them TO
quit the Progress Church and join
the Lutheran church movement in
Mexico? Ask If not the Lutheran
minister that has been preaching
several times in Mexico been visit
ing members of said Progress
church, d~enouncing the Eyangel-
ical church of North America and
asking them to join that movement
in Mexico? Mr.. August Hubert,
you r to-day actually a member
of the Progress congregation. You
was acquainted with the Evangel-
ical church before you joined; you
was satisfied. or at least you SEEM
ed to be. Ysu helped to elect the
present minister of the Progress
church, and was, for o while, a
good friend and neighbor to him,
and you never declared to tina,
church that you wanted to quit the
same, but since about The first oil
February last, above described
work has bean going on, and ]
would ask you, Mr.. August Hubert,
if that does not lock like trying t.
cripple the Progress church, il
that is not undermining it? Mr.,
August Hubert, you may build al
many churches as can raise means
for, and as you can keep up, but
where is your members? How many
protestant Germans have you or
your list from Mexico, and who il
it? Please answer these two ques.
ITEMS. The movement that wal
made from some of the members te
defend against the Progress church
being crippled and to organize /.
cooperating church in Mexico, re
ceived to my knowledge the sup
port of all protestant Germans II
Mexico, and the declaration t.
join some twenty families, and ",
published a list of them in til,
LEDGER a short time ago. Now
Mr.. August Hubert, give us a lis
and show us that We are mistaken
It seems to Us that the party tina
has the congregation and especial,
the support of the Mexico German
is entitled to the church. TIL
building of the Evangelical churcl
will begin at once. x. x. K.
