inspiration to the synod to forget the
troubles of the past and attempt 70 do
great things for her Lord and Master,
aye, even greater ones than she has
yet attempted As we think back over
those old days and in our minds eye
we see those grand old Christians We
wonder if distance lends enchantment
to the view Where are the Levi
MIonts', Levi Bowers, Henry Sheely's,
Geo. A. Counts, John Riser's, Maj.
Eptirgs, of today? These were all
grand men and valiant soldiers of the
Gross. Upon whom has their mantle
fallen? These were tine men of our
day. They had taken up the mantle
as it fell from the heroes of an earlier
day. They were following in the foot
steps Of those grand men of former
generation, the Martin Singley's, the
Geo. Feagle's, the Houseal's, David
and w. F.
Yes, these are those who are car-
rying on this work bequearhed to
them by the fathers. Yes, the work is
going forward and success will crown
their efforts, even as it did the FORE
fathers of old. AS to the men who
have gone out from St. Paul's to
brighten, gladden. and make mankind
better and happier I will leave 70 an
ADLER pen than mine. In passing, I
would lay this tribute on the brow of
the dear old mother church that she
has sent more of Iher sons into the
ministry than she has into the profess
sions. Sent them into that calling
that binds up the broken-hearted and
comforts the bereaved and leaves the
world better for their having lived in
it. What higher praise can she have
than this?
May she continue to send out her
sons and daughters to bless mankind.
In closing we would say that we
suppose that the pastor of St. Pauls
church, the Rev. J. A. Sigh, has filled
the longest pastorate within the his
tory of the synod, 30 years. For forty
years he has gone into the homes of
the people, carrying comfort and
cheer, baptizing their children, con-
firn1ing them, marrying them and
burying them. A new generation has
come on the stage of action, the old
one has passed away and he remains

for a special service of thanksgiving
to the Almighty for preserving rhe
people through the changing seasons.
The custom has now become national
and hallowed by immemorial usage.
We live in easier and more plentiful
times than Our forefa theirs, the men
who with rugged strength faced the
rugged days; and yet the dangers to
national life are quite as great now
as at any previous time in our history.
It is eminently fitting that once
year Our people should set apart
day for praise and thanksgiving to
the Giver of Good, and, at the same
time express their thankfulness for
the abundant nercies received, and
should manfully acknowledge their
shortcomings and pledge themselves
solemnly and in good faith to strive
to overcome them. During the past
year we have been blessed with boun-
tiful crops. Our business prosperity
has been great. No other people has
ever stood on as high a level of ma
terial we'll being as ours now stands.
We are not threatened by foes from
with bout. The foes from whom we
should pray to be delivered are Our
own passions, appetites and follies;
and against these there is always need
that we should war.
Therefore. I now set apart Thurs
day, the goth day of November, as
day of thanksgiving for the past and
of prayer for the future, and on that
day I ask that throughout the land
the people gather in the homes and
places of worship and in rendering
thanks unto the Most High for the
manifold blessings of the past year,
consecrate themselves to life of
cleanliness, honor and wisdom, so
that this nation may do its allotted
work on the earth in a manner worthy
of those who founded it and of those
who preserved it.
In witness thereof, I have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the seal
Of the United States to be affixed
Done at the city Of Washington,
this, the second day of November, in
! the year Of Our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and five, and of the In
dependence of the United States, the
one hundred and ttirtieth.

between the years 1867 and 1887. He
further says the first pastor minister
ing to them was the Rev. Frederick
Joseph Wallern, whose name appears
as member If the Corpus Evangeli-
cum in 17SZ There is no data to
show that Pastor Wallern ever served
anv churches than chose of Germans
in the lower part OF Newberry dis
trict, as he owned farm and lived on
it till his deabtn in the year 1876. In
the act Incorporating, number OF
German churches in Newberry and
Lexington counties by the legislature
of 1888, St. Paul's is not mentioned
but Bethlehem is, and we feel sure
that St. Paul's is as old as Bethlehem.
Pastor Wallern was and had
been preaching to the German
churches in this section for years
and St. Paul's and St. Johns
(white church) seems to have been his
pastorate. We, in years gone by,
talked with those who were confirmed
by this pioneer of the Lutheran
church. In Our boyhood days, as we
plodded to school, we passed his old
home and we'll do rye recall the quaint
Inscription on his tomb, and the ghost
stories that were told in connection
with his grave. He was buried on his
farm, and when we last saw his tomb
it was in dense cedar t1icket. His
last resting place is practically un-
known today.
1t was during the early days of the
COS and JOS that Rev. Bernard Mi
chael Houseal [Iausile) was preach
ing in this section. He came over from
Germany and spent some time, a
year or more, in the German settle
ments in the Dutch Fork. An uncle
or brother of his had settled near ST..
Pauls church and whose land adjoined
the g1ebe given to the church by 6he
Crown. He went from the German
settlements in the Carolinas (fork Of
Saluda and Broad rivers) to the Ger
man settlements in Pennsylvania and
New York. He was in South Caro-
lima prior to the Revolution, for when
the Revolution came on, being cous-
in of the reigning king O. England,
he espoused his cause and when New
York was evacuated he went to Nova
Scotia and became in fact what he

churches. You can scarcely go into
any of our more populous centres to-
day and not find son or a daughter
of old ST. Paul's. We are proud Of the
fact that we are child of hers. To-
day St. PauIs is as young and active
as any of the younger congregations,
and is furt!lering the work of the
church, as earnest workers should do.
S.. Paul's was represented when the
South Carolina synod was organized
in 1924 in St. Michaels church, Lex
ington county, and there never has
been a session of synod in all these
years at which she was not represent
ed either by pastor or delegate or
both. Eternity will only unfold the
real work she has done in all these
years. We find that the 9TH annual
session of the synod was held with
this congregation. The synod at this
time, 1880, consisted Of seven ordained
ministers and five ice1ltiates, with
lay delegates. The Rev. John Bach
man was elected president Rev. c. F.
Bergmon, secretary, Rev. Godfrey
Dreher, treasurer; congregations 2o;
members 1,452; contributions $4,000,
with $1,616.o6 in the treasury. What
an anomaly, money corried over from
year to year in the hands of the synod.
How different now! One Of the pas
tors present at this meeti ing, the Rev.
w. D. Strobel, only passed to his re-
ward in 1908. Rev. NJ. Rauoh was
pastor of St. Paul's at this time.

Second Annual Banquet.

The second annual banquet
was given at Hotel Corvallis last
Saturday evening in Honor of
OAC's football team. It was a
public function and the large
dining room was crowded to the
utmost. 1t was a most sump-
tuous banquet and everything
was in the height Of style.
Ladies and gentlemen appeared
in full dress and this gave tone
to the affair.
During the course Of the ban
quet many good toasts were
given. B. F. Irvine acted in the
capacity of toast master. Among
others, the following gentlemen
responded to toasts: Pres. Catch,
Lieut.. Quinlan, DIR. Lester, B.
|W. Johnson, F. 1. Miller, and
w. G. Emery. After the ban
quet, President Catch in a neat
speech presented the boys Of the
team with a fine sweater each.
and a picture of the entire team.
After the presentation of the
sweaters, an election of officers
was held, and Manager Simpson
was reelected manager Of the
team for the following year.
Capt. Pilkington retired and
Root was elected to his place.
The function began at 10 O'Clock
and continued until 12. That it
was in every way a success gees
without saying.

Died Suddenly,

S A few moments after 8 o'clock
Saturday morning Gustav, Ia
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. B.
Woldt of this city, expired after
a very brief illness. The case
was an unusual one. The boy,
who was said to have been a
model lad, and bright, attended
school up to noon last Wednes-
day.
At noon he complained Of a
headache and did not go to
school in the afternoon. Trouble
developed rapidly and Thursday
DR.. Pernot was called. The case
was a puzzling one and a little
later DR.. Cathey was called. The
only thing possible to discover
was that the boy suffered a feel
ing of soreness back Of one of
his hips, near the spinal column.
He grew rapidly worse despite
all efforts to save him and soon
died. 1t was likely a case of
septic poisoning.
Mr.. Woldt answered the sad
summons and returned from
Portland on the West Side train
Saturday. The funeral services
were held at the family reside dence
at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
and We're conducted by Rev
Bush. The remains were in
tered in Crystal Lake cemetery.

PnlIoMAIh CONTEST.
An Interesting Write Up of What
Occurred, ,lby Our Repre-
sentative.

The local prohibition oratorical
contest for representative from
Philomath to the State Prohibi-
ton contest to be held in Nc
.Minnville in the near future, oc-
Cured last Thursday evening in
the chapel Of Philomath College.
There were five contestants, two
ladies and three gentlemen. The
college societies made things
lively with their speaking horns,
giving society yells just preced-
ing the contest. There was much
rivalry between the ladies and
gentlemen, with honors ending
even.
The judges on delivery were
Prot. A. N. Fulkerson, princi-
pal of Philomath public school;
Helen Crawford, of OAC; Supt.
G. W. Denman. The contest
was held under the auspices of
the Probationary League of
Philomath. The orations were
we'll rendered, each contestant
showing careful drilling and
much natural ability. Those
contesting for honors were Livian
Bond, Mrs. R. H. Lewis, A.
Written, Merrill Stains, and Mr..
Stillwill.
Mrs. R. H. Lewis was given
first honors and Andrew Written
second honors. Prof. Henry
Sneak presented the one coming
second, Andrew Whitten, with a
silver medal and the three not
winning medals with some choice
books. Prof. o. " White in a
few we'll chosen words. presented
Mrs. Lewis with the gold medal.
Mrs. Lewis will represent Philo.
math at McMinnville. Should
she win there she will then repre-
sent Oregon in the interstate
contest, and winning there will
represent these states at the
National Oratorical Contest.
These contests are held so as to
promulgate and advance the
cause Of prohibition. It is a
very effective way to accomplish
this aim.
During the evening the ladies'
quartet rendered some excellent
selections. This is one of the
best quartetts to be found any.

ladies, we are all proud of them.
