tian Movements.
BY REV. f. f. RYDEN.

President T. f. Sehmauk's refusal
TO act in common with other Ameri-
can denominations in an appeal for
peace to the governments of Europe
was strongly endorsed in resolutions
proposed to the general council by
the committee on presidents report
DR.. Schmauk, when appealed to by
other churches TO participate in the
plea to the European powers, took the
stand that, in contrast with the action
Of the Roman church, it is not the
policy Of the Lutheran church to par
yicipata in politics or to take action
looking toward the influencing of gov
ernments. The council upheld his
stand.
Various other resolutions were also
submitted by the committee and adop-
ted by the convention. In line with
the presidents report, 1t was resolv-
ed that the council Iaments the dan
gers, trtbulations ana manifold sor-
rows which the rayages Of the terrible
war ia Europe have caused. and ex-

FOARD COUNTY PIONEER
Biblical Sketches and Interesting

blazed the way to the West nor

advent into this part of Gods
country antedates some who claim
the honor of being "pioneers," or
"oldtimers." But Mr.. Fish claims
to be eligible to this department
of the Foard County News by
permanent citizenship among our

times were tough and staying

but short time when their only
child, Lou, wife of R. N. Featy,
was taken sick. This compelled
the Fish family to turn back, but
Mr.. Fish sent his wagon and
household effects on through.
Several days later, the child grew
better and Mr.. Fish and family
came on the train. arriving two
days ahead of the wagon. They
hrst located near Plano, in Collin
county, and Mr.. Fish rented a
farm from Mr.. Beverly, father of
J. w. and +. M. Beverly; of this
city. This was in 1873 Shortly
after their arrival at Plano, another

and again started West, driving
before him 200 head of cattle and
about 20 horses. They were thir.

place near AbiliEe. Mr.. Fish was
so well pleased with the looks of
the country, he bought a section
OF the land, and took up his per.

was in 1885, the dryest year ever
known in West Texas. Mr.. Fish
declares that he was there thir-
teen months before it ever rained
enough to cause water to run in
the road. Times were hard, and
