LUTHERAN CONGREGATION
RAISES 500 DOLLARS.

,, supporting pastors for the Lutnerans
in the army and to assist III tie NOR
al and Christian work among the
soldiers.
The portion asked from the Lut!l-
erans Of South Carolina was $4,000.
, 1t is stated that from a partial can
vas of 21 of the more than so congre-
cations in the State that more than
! 1000 has already been raised and it
was thought that fully $4,000 wou' j
! be the result from the canvas whea
oil the congregations had been heard
from.
At a meeting of the congregation
Of the. Church of the Pedeemer Oh
Sunday $500 was contributed and it
was stated that the apportionment Of
this congregation was $500. Six
members gave $50 each and gave
$25 each and the remainder was il,
/ ten and FIVE dollar subscriptions and
smaller amounts.
At this meeting on Sunday Lieu
tenant Chaplain Keever of Camp
Wadsworth delivered an address on
the work of the chaplain, and gave
some insight into camp life and what
it means to be in the army. And the
needs of the army chaplain and the
work that it is necessary to be done,
and what it takes properly to equip
an army chaplain We will not un-
dertake to give a synopsis of the ad
dress, but We desire to mention one
thing he said which has often occur
red to US. He asked if any one had
er undertaken to define the psy-
chology of war. and had thought
about it seriously.
The main purpose of war is to kill,
and that is what they teach the sol
der. They tell him when he meets
his man in a sword combat that he
, must sword the man and not a. tree,
; ana when he is training with his gun
it is for the purpose to teaching hin,
| to kill. Aud the fundamental doc
trine or principle in the code of the
Bible is being violated, so the army
chaplain must teach and tell the men
! it is wrong to steal and to lie and to
cheat and do the other things that
are forbidden in the Book. bnt he
can not saw anything about killing
or taking human life. Well, that's
what war means.
This meeting was also arranged t1
have service flag presented show
ing the number of men from the coD-
gregation now in the service, and to
have the names read. The flag had
not come, but DR.. 7. M. Kibler &
member of the county war board read
the names and made good talk Mr..
/ Otto KIettenr was also called on and
made a talk.
Dr. Kib1er said that the list COM
prised the men who had volunteered,
Two of them in the list had the pleas
ure of hearing the honor roll read,
Mr.. D. A. Livingston who was home
on brief furlough being present, and
another who is still in Newberry but
is awaiting orders. The purpose was
to have the relatives or friends who
may have been present to answer and
give the camps in which the men are
/ now but very few answers were made
and we can, not give the addresses.
