professor at the Theological Semin-
airy here, as editor of several church
papers, as author of several church
of valuable theological works, as pres
ident Of the Lutheran Missouri Synod,
he labored Increasingly and his name
and fame became world wide.
And he lived to see in part the
fruits of his labors. In place of the
first little college in Perry county
there was erected and dedicated A
years later in st. Louis the handsome
seminary in which today over 800
young men are being prepared for the
Lutheran ministry. To this we must
add another theological seminary at

airy at Chicago, ILL.,, and one at Sew

of DR.. Walther, in 1847 in Chicago by
II ministers and II congregations, to-
day numbers over 1900 ministers, g.
900 congregations, 100000 communi-
cant members and 2,100 parish schools
in which 2,400 teachers instruct a.
900 pupils. The synod also has
large publishing house at St. Louis,
which nets annually at least 100000.
And her missionaries are sent out in
to all parts of the world to preach
the Gospel in 20 or 80 different Ian
guages. Thus the little mustard seed
planted by DR.. Walther has grown and
today stands as a large tree whose
branches are spreading out over land
and sea. But for all this DR.. Walther
to his end remained an humble SER

en- motto: "Soli Dec Gloria-All glory
and honor to God alone" He died at

ALUTHERAN PIONEER
Centenary of Rev. WaIther's
Birth Is Observed.
Conspicuous Figure In the Church's
History Who Came to America to
Enjoy Full Liberty of Con-
science.

ST. Louis, Mo.-There is a large
church body known as The Lutheran
Synod of Missouri, Ohio and other
states, the main founder, leader and
advocate of which was Carl Ferdinand
Wilhelm Walther. d. d., whose Tooth
birthday has recently observed for
days by special services in thousands
of churches of the Lutheran faith in
the United States and Canada and all
parts of the world.
Prof. Walther, the most conspicu-
Gus figure in the history of American
Lutheranism, was born October %,
1911, in Saxony, Germany. In the
gymnasium of Schneeberg he received
a thorough classical education and
then pursued the studies of theology
of Leipzig. After graduating from
that institution with high honors he
ministered for brief period to state
church in his native land. However,
his strict adherence to Goods word
and Luther's doctrine pure" and his
Outspoken frankness soon brought him
in conflict with the powers that were
and he resolved to seek in free Amer
lea that full liberty of conscience
which was denied him in the land Of
his birth. He landed on our shores
in the year 1888, in company with
several brother ministers and small
band of emigrants who, like the Pill,
grim Fathers, sought a haven of ref
uge and liberty on Americas free
soil.
After a short stay in Perry county,
Mo-, where the first college, a small
log cabin, was erected, he removed to
st. Louis, where he passed his long
and useful life. AS first pastor of
four large and influential congrega-
tions in st. Louis, as president and

closely resemble the celebrations OBJ
served of old in honor of Saturn or
Bacchus.
The Roman Saturnalia, which oc-
Cured in the winter solstice, were q
season of great festivity and rejoicing,
honored by many privileges and ex-
emptions. The spirit of gaiety had
free charter, and even quarreIs were
suspended, to be resumed after the
holidays.
AS a manifestation of the gratitude
felt at the renewed prospects of the
returning march of the sun, gifts were
exchanged and special hymns were
sung. These latter were really the
Roman representatives of the modern
carol.
At the Saturnalia the Roman feast
ed, sang and danced, as we do at
Christmas. A ruler or king was ap-
pointed, who enjoyed certain preroga-
tives. He presided over the sports OF
the season. Probably he is the an
cestor of the lord of misrule, who ex-
ercised a similar power in more re-
cent times.
Merriment was a matter of general
concern, and the joyous spirit OF en-
tire districts is now narrowed to fam
lily parties
1t is the touch that makes the
whole world kin, and it is a pleasant
reminder that, after all, history re-
peats itself.

Pistol Toters to Rock Pile.

Macon, Ga.-Persons convicted Of

Hodges has declared that the rec Mt
prevalency of pistol cases makes it
necessary for him to stringently en-

court will receive straight chain-gang

the most effective means of breaking
up the practice.

take on a more CHEEKY tone, and the
spirit of the time seems to throw a
glamour over places and things which
ordinarily are devoid Of all beauty.
AS it is with places, so 1t is with
people. They, too, not only seem to
change, but the Transformation does
take place in millions Of hearts to a
greater or less degree. The spirit of
Christmas even affects people who for
the rest Of the year are devoid Of
sentiment and of feeling for their fell
lows. The most interesting stories
OF Christmastide are those which will
never appear in print-true stories Of
men and women whose thoughts have
been only of their own selfish aims
and pleasures, but have been awak-
ened, if only for day or two, from
their usual self-complacency, moved
by some force of which they are only
half-conscious to do some act Of kind
ness to make the day happier for
someone less fortunate than them
selves in a worldly way.-The Chris

The Christmas Spirit.

But don't you see that there is a
Santa Claus! He isn't man in a fur
coat, and reindeer sleigh and all
that, but he is the Spirit of Christmas,
isn't he? They've personifed that
and made a saint Of him and invented
legends about him-for the children,
but when we're no longer children and
don't believe in him, we still have
that Christmas spirit-and it's that
that gives presents and makes us feel
toward one another, and makes Christ
mas what it is.-Harvey ]. O'Higgins.

A MASTER OF THE ART OF NEWS
LETTER WRITING.

William E. Curtis, the famous cor
respondent of The Chicago RecordHer-
aid, probably has more enviable pos
ition and is read by more men and wo-
men daily than any other newspaper
writer in the United States. He can
go anywhere in the world and write on
any live topic that he chooses, so long
as he interests his hundreds of thous-
ands of readers. He has travelled sew
eral times around the world and writ
ten entertainingly about almost every
country under the sun.
Every day in the year, without va
cation or intermission, Mr.. Curtis has
two-column letter in The Record
Herald. The remarkable thing about
these letters is their power to interest
all classes of readers. Women read
them with the same enjoyment as men
Whether the subject be politics, trav-
els, new kink in the Monroe doctrine,
an interview with the newest money
king or the personal history of an
Egyptian mummy, the story is always
told with limpid simplicity and an
unfailing sense of interest that keeps
one reading to the end. No other cor
respondent now living can match the
record of Mr.. Curtiss as popular pur-
veyor of timely and useful information.
Whether he writes from his home in
Washington or from the wilds of the
Caucasus, from the gay streets of Paris
or some remote temple in Persia, he
alwaps has something fresh and enter
tanning to tell.
Mr.. Curtis began his newspaper ca
reer in Chicago as reporter in 1872,
speedily became managing editor,
resigned to serve as secretary of gov
eminent commission sent to South
America, and fulfilled his duties so
brilliantly there that Secretary James
G. Blaine placed him at the head of
the new bureau of American republics.
He is almost as widely known in South
America and Europe as in the United
States. AT the worlds fair in Chicago
he was the executive head of the Latin
American department. He is mem
Der of almost every learned society in
Washington and many in Europe.
Nobody outside of The Record-Her-
aid office knows under what flag Mr..
Curtis will next be hanging up his hat,
but everybody knows that, whether it
be in Patagonia or Kamchatka, he will
find something interesting to write
about. Merely to read his daily news
letter is a liberal education. He does
his full share toward making The Chi
cago Record Herald the best home
Newspaper in the West.

Red Cross Seals Not Barred.

In spite of the rumors that the Red
Cross seal has been barred by the pos
tai authorities, preparations are being
made for record breaking sale in Wis
eonsin this Christmas season by the
state anti-tuberculosis association.
The design of the new 1911 seal has
been approved of by Postmaster Gene
raj Hitchcock. AS in 1910, the use of
the seal will be restricted to the back
of mail matter where seal properly
belongs. If put on the front side, let
tiers and parcels bearing them will not
be carried thru the mails. This ruling
of the postoffice department was nee
essitated by the fact that many have
used the seals as postage stamps. With
this restriction the department has
fully sanctioned the use.
During the 1909 and 1910 sales Wis
consin easily led all of the states in
per capita sale, selling last year a"
compared with the 70 of the next
state, New York. Ohio was third with
go. Nearly 100000 were sold in this
state which gave Wisconsin third place
in total sale, though it's population is
less than one-half that of New York,
which sold the greatest number.
