LUTHERAN MEN
REACH FRANCE
Church Commissioners Will
Garry Greetings to Military
Leaders Overseas


A cablegram has just been re-
ceiVed at the National Lutheran
Commission headquarters in New
York that it's two commissioners re-
Gently sent to France have safely ar
rived in Paris. The men serving
on the commission are the Rev.
Charles j. Smith. pastor of Holy
Trinity Church, New York, and
Frank NJ. Ritter, of Philadelphia.
They are carrying the greetings of
100000 Lutherans of the United
States to General Pershing, Marshal
Foch and President Poincare.
The occasion for the visit is the
repeated invitation of the Lutheran
Churches of France to the American
Lutherans to send fraternal dele
gates and plan mutual assistance for
war work.
There are a little over 100. 900
French Lutherans. The congrega-
tions are grouped in the section of
Montbeliard, near the German boun-
dairy in Alsace, and in and about
Paris. They have taken a leading
part in French war activity since
France entered the war. About halt
of the French Lutheran clergymen
have entered the army, as chaplains,
hospital workers or active combat
ants. Many of them have been dec
Grated for service. Some have been
killed, among them one of the lead
ing French Lutheran pastors. e.
With the entry of America into
the war the French Lutheran
Churches have organized to take
care of the Lutheran boys coming
over with the American Army, not
only to bring them the comfort and
announcement of their religion, but
to bid them welcome and make
them feel at home on a foreign soil.
For that purpose q French Amer
lean Bureau has been organized
with headquarters in the famous old
church of st. John i'm Paris. Bach
Gladstone is in charge. The diocese
of Montbeliard has rendered splen-
did service recently. 1t is situated in
the heart of the region where the
American Army is active at present.
Three large Lutheran Churches are
located in Montbeliard itself, while
there are n number more in sur
rounding villages. The churches rs
we'll as the homes of the parishion-
ers have been open to the American
boys Many letters have reached this
side speaking in glowing terms of
the warm welcome accorded to the
Americans.
The commissioners of the Lu-
theran Churches of America have
gone to France with the message
that the Lutheran Church of Amer
lea will back the French Lutheran
churches to their last dollar. Dr. ].
A. o. Stub, executive secretary of
the National Lutheran Commission,
states: "Our motto has been that
the Church must go wherever the
boys are. They are in France MAX
ing the supreme sacrifice. There the
Church must be. We have a million
dollars to back our boys. And we
can get more if that is not enough.
Wen use it for the boys that are
fighting on the frontier line of free
DOM"
