Geiseler said: 'tIf the question be which
amongst all Protestant confessions is
best adapted for forming a union among
Protestant churches, we declare ourselves
unreservedly for the Augsburg Confes-
sion."
DR.. Krauth writes: "To the Augs-
burg Confession, under God, more than
to any other cause, the whole Protestant
world owes it's civil and religious free

The Lutheran church is without ex-
ception the source OF the other reformed
churches. To her belongs the proud
title, mother of Professionalism"
1t is true that the Lutheran church is
very closely connected and identified
Luther, but it is not true, as many
suppose, that the Lutheran church holds
one single principle or subscribes to one
single article simply because Luther did
so. We follow Luther because we firmly
believe his position to be thoroughly
scriptural, and for no other reason.
We can point to many other great and
illustrious men In the Lutheran church,
namely, to such as M. Kemnitz, ]. Ger
! hard, P. Melachton, P. Quinsted, M.
Nolatz, R. Spehuer, and many others
who tower high above other great figures
In church history, and whom we consid-
er to be very good authority because
they are in such close harmony with all
parts of spiritual truth.
But why not develop truth farther and
rise above Luther and his position In
these latter generations of common en-
| lightenment? Because we are not able
to do so. Our best scholars try hard
enough, and they write many books, too
but they fail to get up there, and we are
not the only ones who fail. The leading
scholars of other branches of the Chris
tian church seem to suffer with the
same calamity. We also fail to rise
above Socrates, Aristotle and Homer, in
certain way, and yet they are all infer.
ior to Luther.

of the people, the most popular charac

New YORK, July 16.-The Times says
the importers in this city are confronted
by the prospect of heavy loss on their
importation of from 15,000,0 10000 to 20,-
100000 pounds of tea which began ar
irving in this city about the first of July.
1t was ordered when the general i'm
preston was that congress would put a
duty on tea. 1t is of the first crop, the
finest tea of the year, and to forestall the
tariff, the importers took all they could
get.
When the tariff was abandoned 1t left
second crop and every other inferior
grade of tea to come in, and consequent
ly there is a large stock of high grade
tea to be sold at sacrifice.

This cut is fair representation OF
the Lutheran church of The Dalles,
L although the dimensions are not
quite right. The church when complet-
ed will be much higher in proportion to
its length and width. and will therefore
be more in keeping with the standing
rules of Lutheran church architecture.
Both the architect and the contractors
say that the new church will not only be
an ornament to the city, but also fair
exhibition of true church architecture as
to style and dimensions. 1t will be
plain yet beautiful as to its outward ap-
pearance, and the inside of both the
basement and the auditorium will be
tastefully ornamented, cozy, homelike,
and comfortable. This building when
completed will surely aid in bringing the
Lutherans and others of The Dalles into
line of true and sober' church work, and
port of the moral sentiment of The
Dalles. This church is too well known
to need any introduction, or to be de-
scribed at length in this article. The
Lutheran church has conquered Europe !;
it has picked her vP from amongst the
shadows of the dark ages; and has lift
ed her to her present standard of civiliza-
tion. Those great and world-renowned
universities of Germany are in the lead
of all others, simply because they are
nourished by the spirit of true Lutheran
ism. The change from despotism to
constitutional forms of government in
many parts of Europe is a logical out
come of the great Lutheran reformation.
The great Episcopal Church of England
has imbibed much of true Lutheranism
and, according to her scholarly Bishop
WhittiEgham of Maryland, her 80 ar
ticles are based almost entirely on the
Augsburg Confession of the Lutheran
church. And the translation of King
James version of the Bible, together
with the beautiful ritual of the Episco.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperiop.


 The extraordinary vogue of MT. Roland Reed is one of the most depress- ing things in the theatrical world. The popularity of Miss Isadore Rush is al- most equally lamentable, but is more easily understood because she possesses a certain artificial comeliness. MT. Reed appeared at the Hyperion theater last evening before one of the largest audiences of the season. He chose as the vehicle for his mannerisms a piece in three acts by one George Broadhurst entitled, "The Wrong MT. Wright"
 The piece was entirely commonplace in plot and construction and without a spark of real humor in the lines. MT. Reeds performance was vulgarity without cleverness, the unhappiest of all combinations Miss Rush varied the cheapness of her frantic endeavors to be vivacious by singing darkey tune about three-quarters of tone flat.
 The best things in the performance were the Representations of the stock characters of a farce comedy, an Eng fish lord and serving maid assuming the role of her mistress by Charles Coote and Alethea Luce respectively
