The greatest church demonstration
ever held by Norwegians and those of
Norwegian descent in the world, not
excluding Norway, was held in St. Paul
Saturday.
The occasion was the uniting of three
branches of the Norwegian Lutheran
church which have been severed 27
years.
1t wasn't the biggest parade that has
marched through the streets of st.
Paul, nationally recognized as parade
city, but the 5000 pastors and dele
gates to the Norwegian Lutheran con-
vention who assembled at the Armory
at 8 a. m. Saturday probably were the
biggest paraders in point of stature
that have marched in ST. Paul in a sim
gle body. They are the sons of the
Vikings and looked the part.
There were no ands or drum corps
in the procession that formed at the
Armory and marched to the Auditor
ium, but it was most impressive turn
out, with pastors and laymen delegates
marching eight abreast.
The procession was led by the mem
bers of the Hauge Norwegian Lutheran
synod, with those of the Norwegian
Lutheran synod and United Norwegian
Lutheran church following. They
marched down Sixth street to Wash
ington, and thence to Fifth street and
the Auditorium.
When the head of the procession
turned in to the Auditorium, others
were still forming in line at the Arm
DRY. American flags waved through
out the line of march.
At the Auditorium the marchers were
greeted by the jubilee chorus of 1000
voices, accompanied by the Luther col
lege band, and promptly at 10 a. m.
the ceremonies began, which united
the three great synods.
At the same time church bells in
5000 congregations throughout the
United States began ringing recog-
milton of the union.
Rev. FL. G. Stub, D. D., president of
Bethel academy and theological semi
nary, was elected president of the Nor
wegian Lutheran church of America
upon its formation from the three
branches of the Norwegian church.
There was only one nomination for each
office and the vote was unanimous.
Numerous cablegrams and letters of
congratulation were received from all
the bishops in Norway and the minister
in the cabinet of the king of Norway.
No one in this section of the state is
more pleased at the outcome of this
church union than Mr. Andrew Jensen,
who for several years has devoted much
time in church councils to bring about
successful termination of fractional
difference of the Norwegian Lutheran
churches.

Witchcraft
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
Please permit me thru the col
umns of your paper to give what
Ii believe to be the Bible version
of the so-called psychic phenome-
non mentioned in The Times OF
Oct. 90.
Witchcraft. or seeking unto the
dead, is more prevalent today
than any other time in the
worlds history, and untold mil
lions are being paid by credulous
dupes to members of the black
art.
Blackstone says: ITO deny the
possibility, nay, the actual exist
ence, of witchcraft, is at once to
fatty contradict the revealed
need of God"
Thirty years ago, Sir Walter
Besant said, I'VE are now on the
verge of another outbreak of be-
lief in magic, to which, perhaps,
all the preceding outbreaks will
be mere child's play"
Thus the world declares that
witchcraft is an absolute GER
tainty of the Bible, and we are
in danger of a greater outbreak
of the black arts than ever be-
fore.
During this war, a gigantic in
dustry is being built up upon the
superstitious of the dead. Even
If sometimes this communication
is genuine, then 1t is necro-
nancy and an abomination to
God. True, the Bible speaks OF
the witch of Endor as having call
ed Samuel from the dead at Saul's
request, but note, the witch was
more surprised than Saul was,
and did not know Samuel when
he appeared. He did not appear
in mutterings and rafting of tin
ware and tipping of tables, but
personally and talked with Saul
direct and not with the witch.
Again, It might be well to re-
member that Saul did not seek
one having a familiar spirit until
God had forsaken him, and his
doom was sealed.
In Leviticus 1881, we read:
Regard not them that have ia
miliar spirits, neither seek after
wizards to be defiled by them. l
am the Lord your God" Also
Lev. 2O-27: "A man, also q
woman, that hath a familiar
spirit, Or, that is wizard
surely shall be put to DEATH"
Deut. 1901, IL: There
shall not be found among you
anyone that maketh his son or
his daughter to pass thru fire, or
that useth divination, or observer
of times, or an enchanter, or a
witch, or charmer, or a consult
err with familiar spirits, or wiz.
ard, or a necromancer; for all
that do these things are an abom-
ination unto the Lord"
This craft is so utterly and en-
tireiy out Of harmony with the
Bible and God and holy people
and purity and heaven, that the
only marvel is that persons that
read the Holy Scriptures should
ever be deceived by It.

The damage, however, that
American shells had probably
been doing on German soil for at
least a week makes applicable the
apparently reckless expenditure of
barrage fire to assist a party Of
raiders.
The Germans must be fearful of
sending raiding parties against
the American trenches without
artillery protection because of the
extreme thinness of the German
Lorraine front.
In Flanders, where the greatest
fighting intensity is occurring, the
Germans have four men to the
yard.
Along the Lorraine border 1t
has recently been semi-officially
estimated they have one man for
every two yards.
German raiding parties there
fore can depend little on infantry
support in returning from the
American trenches, and the raid4
ers must have artillery help as II
they were miniature offensives.

Sammies' Shells Fall
On Soil of Chairman

American artillery had been en-
gagged in action in France was
made Oct. 81, while the date Of
the German raid on American
trenches was Nov. 3.
For at least a week, therefore,
before the Germans sent a patrol
to investigate the sudden activity
opposite the Lorraine border,
American guns must have had
German ground under actual or
potential bombardment.
This is doubtless the reason
why the Germans took such I'M
usual measures to raid the Ameri-
can trench sector by providing a
barrage artillery fire and cutting
off the American victims from all
possible help during the period Of
the raid.
Line Is Thin.
Artillery ammunition is too pre-
cious to Germany to be thrown
away in this costly manner often.
