ONE
OVER THE TOP
Lutheran Campaign Seems TO Have
Been More Than Subscribed,
Totals to Date
Show.
TRy A. B. Leamer.J


The splendid campaign for wa-
work funds made by the National
Lutheran commission and Lutheran
brotherhood of America promises to
reach two million dollars instead OF
one, as asked for. Iowa has gone
over the top" three times, and Will
Ego over the top" again before the
morning OF the 27th. There must be
no slackers, and 1t Is very evident
that no one will accept the Disgrace
OF being q non-contrtbutor TO this
necessary fund. II. by chance. any
one has been missed by the can
wasting committees, every loyal Lfth-
eran VIII see one of the solicitors and
give him his money and pledge.
Never before, as q great organiza-
has been by languages, nattonalities
and varied social surroundings, has
there been shown such spirit Of
! unity in one great purpose as Is in
Glcated in this time OF great national
need. Every petty difference has
Misrepresentation lost-and one pur-
pose runs the course OF Lutheran
hearts. and that Is to help our coun-
try, to which we owe 80 much, make
the final stroke for home, church,
country and world freedom
| Although one OF the basic planks OF
the Lutheran church is separation of
church and state, yet she has and
always will meet the needs OF the
times and will lend her influence
and give her last son in the defense
and maintenance of the right. There
| are now two hundred Thousand Lutn-
eran men in line for battle service.
| They must, along with all other men,
/ stand for the strong support OF the
| christian church, and the appeal has
gone out from all sides and has been
/ very pronounced from national
| sources that we must come closer to
our boys, and bring to them the min
istry OF the church for, If this war Is
won, 1t must be in universal pur-
| pose, and that universal purpose Will
| be to implant in the hearts of men
1 OF all nations the spirit of the chris
/ tian religion.
| In order that the war may result
/ In the largest value to humanity, II
must yield more and more to the
dominance Of the gpirit OF the Prince
OF Peace; then and then only can we
have universal and permanent peace.
( In this struggle the Lutheran church
| as such, is going to play its part in
the largest possible manner, and this
week we are answering our coIlntry's
call to the greatest and most eff
ficient service.
