Rev. Luther Hess Waring. pastor of
Grace Evangelical Lutheran church,
gave an interesting account before his
congregation last night of the growth
of the Lutheran church in this coun.
try.
He told Interestingly of the first
Dutch Lutherans who came to this
country in 1921 and established them
selves in New Amsterdam, now New
York city, but then Dutch colony.
The established church In New Am-
sterdam at that time was the Reform
ed church and for years, he said, the
Lutherpns were compelled to submit to
what he termed infamous and cruel
prosecutions" Heavy fines were i'm
posed upon Lutheran clergymen for
preaching the gospel and upon those
who attended Lutheran services.
In 1864 the English came into pos
session Of New Amsterdam and relig-
ious liberation and freedom of con-
science took the place of bigOtry and
persecution. In 1888 the Swedish Luth-
erans. he said. began to emigrate to
this country and first settled in Della
ware. Here the first Evangelical Luth-
eran church erected on the continent
was built. The first translation of the
Bible into a heather tongue was. made
by these Swedish Lutherans who
translated the Scriptures into the LAM
guage spoken by the Delaware Indians.
Though Professionalism had its birth
in Germany. he said, it was not until
the early part of the eighteenth GEN.
tury that any German Lutherans set
tied in this country. Though they
We're the last to come they are now
the strongest in numbers. They first
landed in 1903 in Georgia and large
parties kept coming at frequent inter-
walls after that.
Rev. Mr.. Waring told OF the growth
OF the Lutheran church throughout the
world. He said that it is the largest
denomination OF the Protestant church,
numbering 6O.00O,0O0 communicates.
The growth of the church in this coun-
try has been marvellous, he said. The
number of Lutheran pastors in this
country since 1880 he said was as fol-
lows: 1850. 20; 1920, 10; 1890, 300:
1910, 400: 1850, 500; 1860. 1900: 1870,
1900: 1880, 5000: 1890. 5000: 1900. 6, 1853;
1901, 6,Sl4.
The number of communicates OF the
Lutheran church in this country in
1900 was about 10000. he said. At the
present time there are 1.674,1T5 Luth-
Grams in the United States. In eighty
years the church has multiplied it's
membership forty times over, he said,
and in the last ten years it has gained
800. .OOc members. 1t stands third in
the list OF Protestant churches in this
country in point of membership OUT
stripping the Presbyterian church
which stands fourth.
Eve are forging ahead at q surpris-
irgly rapid rate" said Mr. Waring In
conclusion, land there is no telling
what God has in store FOR this part
of Ills zion"

PLANTATION MANNERS !"

The Philadelphia Press, commenting
on recent utterances of Senator Till
man, of South Carolina, who asked the
question, 1.-The war is over, is it not?
says: ''Well, the war is over. but it
cannot be SAID with equal truth that
plant ion manners are over" This
reads like the utterance of Northern
radical sheet or bloody shirt waver of a
generation ago Persons who try to be
severe by sneerIng at plantation man
ners, are not apt to have much know
ledge of manners of any character. No
man has ever used the phrase as term
of reproach who ever had any know
ledge of plantation manners. The
manners of the old Southern planta-
ton commanded the admiration OF the
world and it is to be regretted that they
are not more in vogue to-day. There
has never been higher type of clvllI-
zafiOn than that of the old South; never
q higher standard of honor and bray
erv. of honesty and chlvalry never more
intelligent observance of the gentili-
ties, refinements, courtesies and civili-
ties of life; never people of more gen
tie breeding aud true culture than
those of which the old South boasted-
that old South which has forever pass
ed, but which fingers IN the memory
like a sweet perfume. In the loss of 1t
we have gained some things, desirable,
but we heve lost some things that will
make US forever poorer, no matter how
rich in material wealth we may grow
The cheap person who sneers at plan
tation manners reminds one of tramp
sneering at the clean skin and linen oil
a gentleman AS to Senator Tillman,
the manners he displays IN the Senate
cannot be charged to the plantation
type
