great part it has played in the world S
history, and stressing the responsible
ty resting upon the communicates of
the faith of maintaining the glorious
heritage that has come down to them
from their fathers.
Graphic pictures were presented of
three great historic events in the his
tory of the Church. October 81, 1917,
when Luther nailed his theses on the
door of the church at Wurtemburg,
was the beginning of the great refor-
nation that swept over large part
of Europe and changed the destinies of
nations. 1t was the birthday of the
Lutheran church and of modern Pro-
testantism.
April II, 1921, when Luther faced the
Diet at Worms, and as result of his
stand for righteousness brought true
civil and religious liberty as great
dominating force in the world, was the
day of the baptism of the church.
The third i'll this series of events of
undying influence was the presentation
Of the confession, prepared by Melaach-
ton and Luther, by the Lutheran
princes at Augsburg, on June 25, 1880.
This was referred to as the day of the
Church's confirmation.
These three dates, and the great

During the ten years ending in 1900
its growth was the greatest of any
Protestant church in this country. DIR.
Schaeffer stated that he himself could
remember when the Church had but a
quarter million of communicates in
this land.
The great educational and charitable
works of the church in this and other
countries were referred to, and their
importance was dwelt upon,
The responsibility resting upon the
individual members of the church to
consecrate their lives to Christian effort
was stressed, and an eloquent appeal
made>to maintain unimpaired the faith
that had come down through the ages.
The new church is of artificial stone.
Located at Plains, it will be a grea
convenience to the mem bers of the con-
gregation residing in or near that
place.
The old church, several miles out of
Plains, will be retained, and it is un
derstood that services will be conduct
ed at both on different Sundays. 1t is
not improbable that with the growth of
the church there will eventually be two
pastors. The present pastor, Rev.
Charles A. Phillips, is much beloved
by his people and IS doing a fine work
among them.

is President of the Georgia Synod arose

braced the best citizens of large area

the Lutherans of that section of the

other denominations, had gathered for

events that marked them in history.
DR.. Schaeffer said, should be impressed
on every memory. They stand out
with such prominence in the story of
Professionalism, they are the glorious
heritage of every member of every
Protestant faith, that their full story
should be clearly known to all.
The growth of the Lutheran church
and its influence in the world since the
eventful life of Luther closed was
briefly sketched.
Today Lutheranism embraces half of
the Protestant world. All of Norway,
Sweden, Denmark, Finland, the great
er part of Germany, and millions in
other lands, are Lutherans.
In this country the difficulties arising
from a difference of language hindered
the development of the church for many
years. This has. been overcome, and
to- day the Lutheran Church, with over
two million communicates, ranks third
among the Protestant bodies of the
United States, coming after the Meth
odists- and Baptists.
