FROM JANITOR TO CONGRESS
MAN
A Feat Too Small for Notice by the
Average Reformer


From a hut of squalor and poverty
to the presidency of the United States
was the remarkable feat accomplish
ed by honest old Abe Lincoln, and his
success has been the guiding star OF
millions of ambitious men who aim
ed as high, if they did fall some short
of that attainment. But "Old Abe"
lived when brains were at a premium,
irrespective of the citadel wherein
they dwelt, and but mere handful
of political tyrants claimed a divine
right of guardianship over the think
factories and appetites of mankind.
Abe was uncouth in appearance, but
all to the good in the matter of brain,
and following the current of the SEN
timent of his time it was compare
lively easy matter to grasp and hold
the reins of government until the Ia
mentable episode at Ford's theater
cut short his earthly career.
But in fulfillment of the prophecy
of Pope mot of Papal. but he of po-
etic fame) times have changed. In
stead of recognizing genius wherever
born, we manufacture statesmen at
theological Institutes and federal sup
ported universities, selecting our
most promising subjects by their
physical projections much the same
as we do a race horse or range hog.
The exceptions to this rule are us

delegates, who come from half a score
OF states of the central west and north

the convention will discuss and take
action upon a number of matters of
Importance. The principal one OF these
questions relates to the proposed union
of this church denomination with the
United Lutheran church and Hauge's
Synod, two other Norwegian Lutheran
church bodies. For many years, or
ever since the organization of the 9TH
err two church bodies. there have been
differences of opinion regarding doc
trinal questions and the bodies have
been trying to get together. but it was
not until February. 1912. after many
disbursements. that Il joint commit
tee of the church bodies agreed upon
articles OF doctrinal Interpretation.
1T is proposed by the union to elimi-
schools by gradual merging of the con-
found to the best advantage of the pro-
posed new body. For the present. how
ever al! the institutions will be MAIN
tanned. Another important question to
come before the meeting now being
held here is the matter of authorizing
the erection of a new building at the
Lutheran Normal school in Sioux Falls
and the raising OF funds for its erec-
ton,

London. Oct. 17.-As was the case
just a week ago with Antwerp, so it
was today with Ostend. That is to say
its occupation by a German army. is

almost opposite the mouth of the
Thames. Britons centered their gaze
there regardless of whether or not the
taking of the city would mean much
from a military standpoint or hasten or
p%rCtract the great war now in its 73rd

early today said the Germans We're

from Ostend and steamer service be-

class the taking of Ostend with that
Of Antwerp. In other words, they con-
cede it would be a moral and spectacu-
lar victory for the Germans. but Of no
great strategic Significance. Whether
this be go. future events only can show.
