REV. WHARTON breaches
FAREWELL SERMON


Next Sunday will mark the closing
public services in the First Christian
Church in the pastorate of Rev. ]. A.
Wharton, whose resignation given on
April 1st takes effect June 30th.
While majority of the church by
written ballot-the vote being 246 for
and 92 against-asked the pastor to
withdraw his resignation and remain
another year there are sufficient rea-
sons which he will give next Sunday
why he cannot do so.
In the morning the sermon will be
'The Church's New Minister" and
the evening will be farewell sermon
probably followed by baptism.
Rev. Wharton has not decided on a
pastorate elsewhere and expects to be
in Wauseon all summer, where he will
be open to serve the public in funerals,
weddings or in any other capacity in
which he can be of benefit.
The members of the church and the
public are cordially invited to attend
the closing services next Sunday.

NEW PASTOR

Last Sunday the new pastor, Rev.
Richard H. Bunge, preached his first
sermon. 1t was based on Corinthians
ALTO, delivered in the German Ian
guage and was followed with close at
gregation feels glad to have a regular
pastor again after the long vacancy
since Rev. Kluepfel left last fall. From
now on there will be regular services
every Sunday forenoon in German and
American language alternating.
Mr.. Bunge has come to US from
Aberdeen, South Dakota, where he
completed a pedagogical course in the
State Normal School of that State
earning the life diploma for teachingin
the public schools and at the same time
filling a temporary vacancy of the Lu-
theran congregation there He also
served as member of the faculty of
said Normal School, teaching German
and Ancient History. Previous to the
nine months work in Aberdeen, Rev.
Bunge had been president of the Eu-
reka Lutheran College of Eureka,
South Dakota, for four years and was
very successful in that work but had
to give it up on account Of the health
of his wife, who could not stand the
nervous strain that was connected
with living in the dormitory of the
College. His charge previous to that
was in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. The
call to the Archbold- -Pettisville- Wau-
seon parish was sent to him in Decem-
Der last but he accepted only under the
condition that he could first finish the
course in which he was so immensely
interested. This was readily agreed
to secure his service. The parish en-
tertains great hopes of progress in
connection with their new minister.
The service next Sunday will be in
American language, beginning at
1000 a. m. in Archbold, 200 p. m. in
Pettisville, and 500 p. m. in Wauseon
sun time. The Sunday Schools begin
an hour earlier, except in Wauseon,
where there will be no Sunday School
next Sunday.

THE RED CROSS CALL
No Less Important to The Successful
Prosecution of War Than The Liber-
ty LOan-The Tremendous Work
Before The American Red Cross
O,OOOO,OOO Needed.

Fulton county has responded well to
the cali OF the I M. Z. a. Tor funds
Tor war WORK, to the smaller but no
less urgent call Of-the local National
League Tor WOmen's Service for mon
ey Tor materials Tor articles OF nee
essity and comfort for United States
Soldiers and Sailors and for ped cross
work and the call Of the government
for the loan Of money to equip ami
maintain our army ami navy. Now
the people Of the county are to pt
called upon again to make further
sacrifice by contributing to the $780,
100000 War Relief FUND for the
American Red Cross Society.
President Wilson sent out the first
Of this week the following telegram
to the Mayors of 100 cities in this
country:
''The American people, by their over
whelming subscriptions to the Liberty
Loan, have given a new Endorsement
to the high principles for which
America entered the war During the
present week, which I have designat-
ed as Red Cross Week, they will have
a unique privilege of manifesting
Americas unselfshness as well as the
real spirit of sacrifice which animates
our people.
MAY l urge that your city, in do
ing its part in the raising of this $780,
100000 war relief fund, measure the
generosity of its gifts by the urgency
of the need?"
The magnitude of the work the Red
Cross Society has before it is appar-
ent in the following outline of the four
principal objects for which this >enor-
nous sum is asked.
The army gives first aid and trans
ports the wounded from the firing line
The Red Cross then takes charge of
all wounded, gives them hospital at
tention, heals them, establishes rest
stations, brings them home if neces-
ary, provides doctors, nurses, aids, or
derlies, ambulances, hospital ships
etc. There is no agency provided for
this work except the Red Cross. We
must provide all this for 100000
men.
The men who are doing our fight
ing leave wives, children, fathers and
mothers who must be assisted. This
must be part of our duty to those
that go. The Red Cross does this as
the agency of the government
Our national existence depends upon
what we do now for our allies. They
cannot continue to furnish men indef-
nitely. We must provide for their hos
pitfalls. The greatest proportionate
number of fatalities have occurred in
the medical corps and among the men
who sought to save the wounded. The
Red Cross must perform this service
despite the cost.
Most of it for our sake. Millions
of people yesterday stood in line for
seven hours to obtain their one chance
of living for one day longer-a pint of
soup and piece of bread. If they had
not remained true and had gone in
stead over to the German cause they
would now have plenty and we would
stand in their place waiting for pint
of soup and piece Of bread. If we
do not sustain them now we may yet
be in their places.
