OUR NAIL POUCH.
He Enters q Protest.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
1 desire to enter my protest against the
position taken by two Lutheran ministers at
Greensburg yesterday, in conference, as
given in THE DISPATCH of to-day on the sub
ject of card playing. The writer is not
shocked nor surprised at anything coming
from that source. But he wants it distinctly
understood that the aforesaid preachers
represent no one but themselves. The great
Lutheran Church licences no form of sin but
on the contrary teaches "to avoid the very
appearance of evil"
Please give place to the above so that it
may somewhat counteract the stigma cast
upon the Church by these injudicious and
erratic speakers. a LUTHERAN.
