of the Iowa Evangelical Association
closed here Sunday. Stirring resolu-
tons pledging the loyalty of the
church were adopted and conference
appointments announced.
The last days session was begun
with a tender memorial service held in
respect to the memory of Mrs. VIII
liam Grobe, of Laporte; Mrs. E. j.
Shultz, of Waterloo, and Albert Fried
~, Of Sumner, who passed away dur
ing the year.
The patriotic resolutions were
adopted unanimously as follows:
We have heard our country's call.
We have witnessed the response OF
her brave hearted sons. We are cap
tivated by their spirit of unselfsh 10y
atty and cheerful courageous devotion
in this hour of their country's dire dis
tress. Among them, too, are many
sons of members of this conference,
also several of our brethren in the
ministry. Besides We are proud OF the
fact that our church is distinctly
American product; its founder JACOB
Albright, was born in America. and
himself was a soldier in the revolu-
tionary war.
Furthermore having therefore en-
joyed the blessedness OF freedom OF
conscience and liberty of action, the
coveted prize Of every nation. we
therefore pledge our sincere co-opera-
ton with, and support Of our noble
army of young men now in the ser
vice. and Of those vet to be called, TO
the full extent Of our power and in
fluence, by our prayers, means and ef-
forts.
I'VE pledge our loyal and cheerful
support to our government and to the
president of these United States in
these days of rrial and responsibility.
But while we maintain the spirit OF
unhinching loyalty, and uncompromis-
ing faithfulness to our own cause and
country, we nevertheless assure all
people and nations Of the world OF our
earnest and only desire toward them
of good will and a speedy and univer-
sal peace.
Furthermore we rejoice over and
fully endorse the splendid patriotic
service held duringf this conference
session, and the beautiful service flag,
presented by Rev. ]. H. Yaggy. the
only Iowa conference member yet liv-
ing who served in the civil war was
unveiled, which madea profound Inn
preston on this concourse Of patriotic
citizens" ~
