from the Kaiser, in my opinion, for from
my observation Of a year and half in
the wars fercest fighting there was nothing
that could possibly have put the pep into
the battle front as that did. Men and
women kissed us Americans and wept when
ever they met MS.
Food is the thing and the conservation

MARK 2 ANNIVERSARIES
NORRIsTOWN. Pa. oct. I6

NORRTSTOwN. Pa, oct l6
Confessing the little done by the Lutheran
Church to safeguard the soldiers and sailors
engaged in the war. the Norristown Con-
ference of the Evangelical Lutheran Min
isterium of Pennsylvania, in session in Trim
ity Evangelical Church here, today adopted
resolutions unanimously calling for COM
mlttee to arrange plans for a mobilization
OF the Lutheran religious forces for the
preservation OF the moral and religious well
fare of the young men who were taken
from religious environment at home and
are subject to the temptations prevalent
outside the various army camps.
The conference, which is presided over by
the Rev. J. f. Kramlch of Royersford, was
attended by about sixty ministers and lay
men, 1t was the fall meeting and COM
memorates the quadrlcentennial of the Ref
ormation and the 175th anniversary OF the
arrival of the patriarch Muhenberg
The Rev. H. A. Miller Of Philadelphia.
president of the ministerium. pointed out
the dangers to which the young men were
exposed who were in the various army
camps. and declared that the Lutheran
Church was doing virtually nothing to keep
these young men, taken from religious in
fiuence at home, in touch with that which
would safeguard them reigiously.
1T is problem which confronts the Lu-
theran Church today" said Mr.. Miller.
Some of these men are coming back ruined
morally and crippled physically. Either the
Lutheran Church will have to meet these
conditions or else confess that 1t IL not
ready | do not mean TO be derogatory or
critical II this Church does not do its work
the Y. NJ G. A will be the church Of the
world after this war"
The Rev. A. b. Mcintosh, pa stor of Trim
ity Church, Norrstown, said
we Will make the mistake of our lives
II we let the Y NJ. G. A. do our work
The work Of keeping these boys on religious
lines should proceed, even II it does in
terfere with routine benevolence"
Mr. Mcintosh also declared himself
against raising funds at this time for any
thing except routine benevoence, asserting
that whatever extra could be collected
should be employed In safeguarding the
young men from the Lutheran Church who
have gone to the war
A report made for the Rev w d. Keiter,
treasurer OF the Ministerium. showed that
only twenty-eight Of the fifty churches in
the Norristown Conference had contributed
to the monument fund and of these only
one had rated its full quota.
