The German Church.

To the Editor OF the Ledger.
PROGRESS, Mo-, August 22.-In
regard to the article dated August
13, and published in the LEDGER,
will say that our friend, "a Ger
man," is badly mistaken in the
matter. I would like to ask him
one question: Who took the first
steps for the erection of a German
church in or near Mexico, when in
the months of January and Februa-
ry a proposition was made by
Lakenan & Barnes and also Ferris
& Son-the first for a lot to build
on, the latter to head a list with
S1O0-was it August Hubert or our
friend, Mr.. ga German?" Every
reader of the Mexico newspapers
knows that we held meetings in the
Opera House and Baptist Church in
Mexico in hope to secure members.
The next thing we know We find
opposition as soon as we invited
Germans of other denominations
to meet with US. 1t went along
slow, as expected, with the inten-
tion to build a church IN Mexico,
not desiring to cripple the Progress
Church. All we want is our own
Cir1Seh: Ii we are not able.to build
the same in Mexico we are com.
PEELED to go outside; but taking
into consideration that Mexico is
the proper place for it, we ough,
to build it there. Twenty-six per.
sons signed their names to join
when start is made. l would ask
who is entitled to the right to
build q church-tile first or second
