LUTHFTRANS ARRANGE PLANS
FOR MERGING CHURCHES.

New York, November 14-Pians
for the great ecclesiastical merger,
which will unite three great Luther
an organizations under the name of
the United Lutheran Church manner
lea, occupied the attention of the
General Synod, the General Council
and the United Synod, South, in con-
ventson here today
The general synod reported its
membership as 3.GOO,G0O on three
continents of whom 100000 are in
this country. The council has six
colleges and FIVE theological seminar
les.
All of the synods Of the great coun-
ell voted to go into the merger ex-
cept the Augustana Synod of Illinois,
composed of about 100000 Swedish
speaking Lutheraas.

Fiction And The Russian Empress

tells us how the Empress had fallen !
victim to Occultssm or spiritualiStic
supefstitions and how, taking adj
vantage of that, a group of conspira-
tors who were really serving German
interests, made her their ignorant in
strument in further,ng the revolution
by confirming the Gar in reaction
airy views and steeling his heart
against concessions to liberalism. The
Empress was a b:gOted enemy to con-
stitutional reforms but she was not
traitress. As wildly as by flash
light we are shown how a few con-
cessions would have averted the rev
olution and left the throne secure.
The influence Of the Empress and
those about her opposed and made
the doom inevitable. The Gar fell,
anarchy was enthroned and Ger
. many's victory Was won.
Can we imagine royalty plotting
its own destruction? Can we ina
CINE this queen destroying her own
dyrasty. Can we conceive of a fond
mother depriving ilcr son of his heir
! ship to the throne? Are we credul-
Gus enough to belive that the Ger
man government would not have NOV
ed to protect and secure the safety
! of its chief agent, or one who had
been of such invaluable service TO
itself-as this Salvation official would
have us believe?

entered Nazareth and opened for 1t a
new life. Allenby has a vaster army
than Kleher led into Syria, but there
was a greater and a much more capa-
BILE force fighting against him. It Is
now known that the Turks had 1GJ.-
geo men IN Palestine; that they had
brought fresh div sions from the eau
casus, evidently intending to inaugu-
rate dive which should expel the
British from the country. The au-

the fact that it is the possession and
The mastery use of a large force Of
cavalry which has enabled Sir Henry
Allcnby to win this splendid victory.
How happy our American cavalfymcn
would be if they could perform a sim
liar function in Alsace and Lorraine
But that opportunity seems to be de-
med them. We may at least be glad
that our British allies have taktn 3
leaf Of wisdom from the books of
franci Marion, of Light Horse Harry
Lee, Of Sheridan, of Stewart, of
Pieasanton, of Mosby. Some ray CT
the fame which this exploit of the
British and Indian horsemen has won
Will be reflected upon our own great
teachers of the art of cavalry tactics.
And let us hope that the British cav
airy have not yet finished their bril-
liant work-that ere long they will be
riding into Damascus and Aleppo as
they have ridden into Jerusalem and
Nazareth.

Troops At Early Home Of The Savior


VII Ic the victory OF the Cross and
the Star grows in Palestine, it may
he interesting to glance at the situa-
lion Of the British and Indian troops
at Nazareth . the early home of the
Savior, ard the place where he pass
ed nearly all of his life UP to the age
Of thirty. Despised little village Of an
earlier day-oncc and then once more
IN insignificant place IN Ga:!ilce the
scorned-Nazareth. in the carly mid
die ages, sprang into momentary con-
sequence as The home of the childhood
and youth of the Man VINO vas God.
The first crusade led to the building
CT Il great christ an church. at Naza-
reth. Then, after 4 little time. came
Saladin, and Christian Nazareth was
overwhelmed in tn" same sort OF Mos
lem ,ulc that has row ovcitaken Ar
mcnia. Nazareth once more relapSed
into insign!icance, from winch twas
awakened in the carly nineteenth cen
fury after an age of slumberous
squalor-its christian population to-
tally wiped out, and its mud walls no
refuge from the Arab robbers who
secured the neighbcring plain.
But at last, after 1900 years, the
Christians We're once more reasonably
free in Palestine The great church
Of the Annunciation was built at Naz-
arcth, and the pilgrims began to come
;.g:in. Although not a single valid ira
d,5ion survived Of The sites made sa-
cred by The SAVERS long residence in
the village-thougil every mark of the
past mad long since been obiitcrated
by the heel OF ba,barism and of time
1t was delightfully."- easy to invent
legends and imagine sacred places.
The site of the sacred cottage which
had miraculously fed overseas to Italy
was located, and even the workshop
OF Joseph was imagined. Back came
the christians in considerable num-
bors. Nazareth has grown to be a.
little city, with six or eight thousand
people, mostly christians. Never again
viii it be despised. On the contrary.
one would say that it would be the
dearest place in the world to humani- !
~, after TINS cataclasm of war is past. |
Its memories, its suggestions. its long
and tender associations with the youth |
and young manhood Of the Prince of !
Peace, will lend 20 Nazareth a new
sentiment. new significance, when
the passions of war subside and the
path of peace is the one which all men
yearn to follow. All mankind, it .
would seem, might long to make .
pilgrimage to Nazareth, there to re-
new its devotion to The Golden Rule.
But now there is war there, and
righteous war. Standing at Nazareth,
looking back on the historic plain of
Esdraelon, and with the ramparts of
Tabor and Gideon behind him, the
British Commander may congratulate
himself epon a work for christianity
and civilization that has been we'll and
piouslf done. AS strategist, Gen.
Sir Henry Allenby has accomplished a
feat which is no less brilliant than
that Of kleber in 1893, when that gen.

When Edward Dixon Hays, the
new Congressman from the Fourteen
III District, goes to Washington next
March to take his seat, ne will carry
a cigar in his face in Cannonesque
fashion, but he'll not be smoking.
Congressman-elect Hays chews Gig
ars. but never smokes 'em.
The successor to Joe Russell is q
typical Missour;,an, and his record is
that of the traditional poor boy who
succeeded through his own individual
efforts. His parents were poor but
honest, and their reputation has been
sustained by Congressman-elect Hays
in spite of the fact that he has been
in politics.
Judge Hays was born at Oak
Ridge, April Is, 1872, and about all
there was to that section Of the state
during his youth was left there by
the Indians who vanished a few years
before Edward ,. Hays appeared on
the scene. Having been born on what
had formerly been an Indian Reser-
vaton. Young Hays became a stu
dent of Indian lore. and today he can
tell you more about the Indian tribes
of Southeast Missouri than any man
out of tepee.
Like Champ Clark, he dotes on
history and especially that pertaining
10 his riative state. He has d fund
of information about the early days
IN Southeast Missouri, and his stories
with his original interpretations con-
corning outlaws and their pilgrim
ages, will make any listener feel sat
isfied to know that we have survived
that era.
John W. Hays, the father, of the
new congressman-elec left his son
good name and laid down two rules
for its preservation. The first re-
quisite was to adhere strictly to the
political faith of Lincoln, and then to
he as good Methodist as possible,
and not to mix politics with religion.
Judge Hays has never violated these
injunct:ons.
Congessman-elect Hays early politi-
cal career is reminiscent of the youth
of George Washington, in that a tree
played a conspicuous part. He was
then a resident of Jackson, the
county seat Of Cape Girardeau coun-
ty. A shade tree in front of the
home Of Frank Mcclure, the late
editor, INSTRUCTED the sidewalk and
was declared to be a public nuisance
and the city council ordered its re-
moval. Mcclure declared the tree
must not be molested and his neigh
bors aligned themselves with the
city officials, demanding that the
tree be removed. Finally the whole
town took sides and a fued which
took form in a law suit resulted.
Edward D. Hays was employed by,
Mr.. Mcclure to- save the tree.
The suit became the most famous
ever fought in the countyseat, and
there-wcre as many people in favor
of sparing the tree as there We're
who wanted It chopped down. Whllel
