AND PASTOR
Go Into Court With Their
Quarrel - The Synod
Recently Held at Wads-
worth Also Say Some
thing.

Wooster, O., Oct 24.-"A pastor OF
a Lutte eran church is not hireling,
nor can he be considered simply as an
employe paid by the year In any sense
of the word"
Thus declared the committee report
| ing at Wadsworth recently to the Lu-
theran church synod in session there
respecting the case of the council of
the Lutheran church of Reedsburg
against Rev. Charles Booher, who up
until a few weeks ago was pastor of
the Reedsburg church. The synod
passed resolutions embodying the
above declaration.
The church council of the Reedsburg
church. alleging that the pastorate of
Rev. Booher had expired, and that he
refused to consider his pastorate CLOS
ed, secured an injunction in common
pleas court restraining Rev. Booher
from entering the church. The mat
ter was brought before the synod and
Rev. d. H. Bunslin, d. D., of Spring
field; Rev. e. w. Simon, of Akron, and
DR.. Everhart, of Wadsworth, were ap-
pointed as an investigating committee.
The committee reported as fol. .ows:
"We have discovered that the allie
cations against Rev. Booher are with
out any basis in Lutheran usage in as
much as regular call was extended
Rev. Booher without limit as to dura-
tion
1--WE heartily disapprove of such
methods of settling church difficulties
as appealing to the civil courts. as
such action is contrary to the spirit
of Christ and our form of government.
eve hold that minister of the
gospel is not hireling or simply an
employe in any sense of the word, and
an effort to treat him as such would
work an injustice to both pastors and
churches"
The synod authorized further inves-
tigation into the Reedsburg affair.

THE sTAR-sPANeLED BANNER.
Q say, can you see, by the dawn's early
ioh+

Q say, can you see, by the dawn's early
light
What so proudly we haird at the twi-
lights last cleaning
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
through the clouds Of the night,
At the ramperts we watched were so gal
lantly streaming
And the rockets red glare, the bombs burst
ing in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag
was still there;
o! say, does that star-spangled banner yet
wave
Ger the land Of the free, and the home Of
the brave?
On that shore dimly seen through the mists
Where the foes naughty host in dread ST.
lence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, DER the
towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, now conceals now
discloses?
Now it catches the CLEAN of the mornings
first beam,
Ills the star-spangled banner long may
it wave
Ger the land Of the free, and the home Of
the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly
SWOre
That the havoc of war and the battles
home and a country should leave US no
more?
Their blood has washd out their foul
footsteps pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and
slave
From the terror of fight, or the gloom of
the grave;
And the star-spangled banner in triumph
doth wave
Ger the land of the free, and the home of
the brave.
o! thus be it ever, when freemen shall
stand
Between their loved homes and the wars
desOatiOn
Blest with. victory and peace, may the
heaV'n-rescGed land
Praise the power that hath made and
preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it
is just,
And this be our motto-'In God is our
trust :;
And the star-spangled banner in triumph
shall wave
Ger the land Of the free, and the home of
the brave.

Carl Schurz.

No other man of foreign birth ever
showed such fine command of the Eng
lish language or used it so feIicitously.
A man who objected strongly to his
politics but admired his talents as a
writer once said: 81 wish Mr.. Schurz
couldn't write so well; 1 could hate
him better" In 1877 Carl Schurz Wis
tied Boston to make a speech against
Benjamin T. Butler, who was running
for Governor of Massachusetts. While
arguing on the question of the resump-
ton of specie payments, an issue that
was paramount at that time, Mr..
Schurz lil1ened Imitation to a balloon
filed that had carried the American
nation off it's feet. At that time he
made use of the following expression,
which brought the immense audience
that greeted him to its feet: "We have
placed our feet on solid ground again
and we propose to keep them there"

to go into when he was cold and wanted
to lie down, and so his school days were
not at all dreary ones.
But the happiest time for ''the chums"
was when Willie put his books away for
the long summer vacation and he and
Nero had the whole day together. Even
when Willie had cut the kindling it was
Nero who carried it to the house in a
basket held tightly by his strong teeth,
while Willie carried a bucketflI of coal
BY and by Willie began to tell Nero
of a great day that was coming, when all
the boys would have firecrackers and Ro-
man candles and torpedoes, and there
would be flags flying and bands playing
and everybody would have a good time.
Nero always listened to every word that
his little master said, and now and then
when Willie would give his head an extra
hard pat by way Of emphasis Nero would
bark and set his tail going harder than
ever. That tail always wagged when
Nero was pleased Sometimes Willie's
mother would allow the dog to come into
the sitting room, but one day the tail
knocked a handsome vase off of the ia
bic and broke it, and after thar Nero had
to lie down very quietly if b. got into

Two days before the Fourth Willie
bought his fireworks; there were five
packages of irecrackers and five of tor
pedoes, four rockets, four Roman candles,
two wheels and long piece of punk.
Nero went with Willie to the store to buy
them, but he had to wait outside while
Willie went in, and so as soon as they
reached home Willie opened the package

1t Is not to be wondered at that
the Chinese in San Francisco are in
a panic over the destruction in the fire
Of more than 25,O00 certificates Of legal
residence. This Is not only bad for
those who have lost such certificates
but it will be productive Of endless
problems for the emigration officials to
solve. 1t is expected that every China

Doctor Was Fooled by His own
Case for a Time.
It's easy togunderstand how ordinary
people get fooled by coffee when doctors
themselves sometimes forget the facts.
A physician speaks Of his own expert
ence:
81 had used coffee for years and real
~ did not exactly believe it was injur-
ing me, although 1 had palpitation Of
the heart every day.
FINALLY one day severe and almost
fatal attack of heart trouble frightened
me and 1 gave up both tea and coffee,
using Postum instead, and since that
time I have had absolutely no heart
palpitation except on one or two occa-
sions when I tried a small quantity Of
coffee which caused severe irritation
and proved to me l must let 1t alone.
when we began using Postum il
seemed weak-that was because we did
not make it according to directions
but now we put a little bit Of butter
In the pot when boiling and allow the
Postum to boil full ID minutes, which
gives 1t the proper rich flavor and the
deep brown color.
Il have advised a great many Of my
friends and patients to leave off coffee
and drink Postum; in fact, 1 daily give
this advice" Name given by Postum

Postum in place of tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe it to pa

GREAT TUNNEL PLANNED.
Central Pacific to Pierce the Sierra
Nevada Mountains.

Central Pacific to Pierce the Sierra
Nevada Mountains.
"The boring of what will be the long
est tunnel in the United States, and
one of the longest in the world, has
very recently been determined upon by
the Central Pacific Railroad Company"
says J. Mayne Baltimore in the Technf-
cal World Magazine.
sfChief Engineer William Hood has
finished plans and reports for the pro-
posed gigantic six-mile hole to be bored
through the Sierra Nevada Mountains
in California, a short distance west Of
the town Of Truckee, Ariz
The object of this great tunnel is to
cut down the present mountain climb
of 7,017 feet by fully 1900 feet, and
thus eliminate many of the present
curves and much of the grade. Chief
Engineer Hoods reports contain some
notifications Of his first series Of sur
veys, made some years ago, and these
will doubtless be approved by Presi-
dent Hartman; and work, it is expect
ed, will very soon be commenced on this
great tunnel.
ut is estimated that the tunnel will
cost not less than 100000 and that
among other things it will cheaper the
annual expenses Of operating trains
over the mountain division by fully
100000. Being over 10000 feet in
length, the tunnel will be one Of the
longest in the world and certainly the
longest in the United States. The long
est now III existence on this continent
is the 16,000-foot bore in the Cascade
range in Washington, on the Great
Northern Railroad"

and showed Nero everything it contained.
''Now, we'll fire off a few crackers
said Willie to Nero, but we'll have to
save the most of them till the Fourth,
because us boys are going to have our
crackers an torpedoes together. Won't
we have a fine time, marching to the
commons, with our drums beating and
horns blowing and flags flying But
there's one trouble about you, Nero, an
that is, you can't march with us, because
the boys decided that nobody can march
without they have one Of our flags, an
there's just ten flags an ten boys. I'm
to give out the flags an if there was any
boy that was sick you could have his
place, if you could only wave flag
Nero dropped his head and looked very
sad. Willie thought it was because Nero
was SO badly disappointed, but perhaps it
was because the faithful fellow saw that
his friend was troubled. AS they sat
there, Nero looking so sad and Willie
with his elbows resting on his knees and
his chin buried in his hands. they heard
some one whistle and, looking up, raw

Many years before the recent Unitar-
ian conference assembled the doctrine
was advanced that 1t is wrong to save
money. It is the old decision that is
to be made between laying up treasures
on earth, where moth and rust corrupt
and thieves break through and steal,
and laying up treasures in heaven.
There may be no heaven in modern the
ology, the joys formerly ascribed to
that city Of golden streets and eternal
bliss coming in service to ones fellow
men, but, even with that modification
Of conditions granted, there will hardly
be general acceptance Of the theory
once again announced that frugal1ty
and economy are dangerous tendencies
in life. 'The men and women who
spend" one speaker declared, "are not
dangerous; they are helpful; they keep
the money perpetually reverting to the
people in some FORM" at would be
should be prodigal Of their means and
so keep money in circulation than for
the rich and the poor to be frugal and
saving" were the words Of another.
The mania for saving which makes the
Individual misery and hard is one
thing, a misdirection Of purpose which
has never failed to meet condemnation.
The desire for saving which puts mil
lions into savings banks, opens the
door to opportunity, makes capitaliza-
ton Of industry possible, gives employ
ment to thousands in special pursits,
encourages endowments for religion,
art, education, science, has been COM
mended in every age. Such statements
as those which have been quoted are
one-sided and consequently Of compare
lively little Importance. The drunkard,
the gambler, the rake, spend their
money freely. They keep it in circula-
ton, but the experience Of the past,
which is always the safest guide, does
not show that such a habit has been
Of benefit to humanity. The training
to save has meant sobriety, industry,
home ownership, integrity, respectable
ity, good citizenship. It has made the
prosperity Of the nation. It is a bless
ing. The occasional examples Of those
who, having risen from the ranks and
having been possessed with the misers
greed, have been oYerbearing and harsh
toward their less prudent former COM
panions cannot be used as arguments
against the desirab1lity Of encouraging
the spirit Of thrift. There may be pos
tive evils connected with the desire to
save, but the resultant advantages are
so much more important that no one
who thinks deeply would ever advocate
the theory that the savings habit is one
dangerous to society on principle. The
facts are all bearing testimony to the
opposite conclusion.
