also by deeds. We shall endeaYor
aud work to this purpose that
our faith may grow in finn
ness and that the love Of our
Lord Jesus Christ may become
deeper still; we shall endeayor
that our Lutheran Church IN Pc
land may become what It ought
to be-a spreader of the light
and truth of God. And II this,
with the Lord S help, will happen,
it partly will be, dearest Broth
ren, your doing, because you did
not let us drown in u most
painful moment but helped us
out of our wretchedness and dis
tress. We shall try to cooperate
with you in the holy work OF
missions among the heathens,
which, for many years has been
dear to us. No doubt it will be
you who will undertake the
work of the Leipsic Mission in
India, for which we have been
gathering offerings in our church
es, and the Johannesburg Mission
in South Africa, where we have
our own station "Polonia -,
which has been entertained by Us.
Permit us to draw the nets for
the Kingdom Of God in those far
off lands together with you.
At the end | cannot omit the
opportunity of expressing the
heartfelt gratitude from us all
and especially from myself to the
Chairman of your Commission,
Professor J. A. Morehead, for
his having bestowed upon us so
much love; his enlightened intel
lect very rapidly understood our
state and II needs, his energy
soon spared neither trouble nor
pains in order to visit personal
~ some parts of Poland in or
der to ascertain with his own
eyes u principal wants. For all
this | always shall be grateful
and heartily devoted to him.

Our Lutheran Church in Pc
land has gone through hard times
during the last five years Of the
dreadful world war, which has
been depressing us more than
anyone else; it is still suffering
greatly today, as the war in our
land is not yet finished with
its sad and ominous consequences
the famine and dearness, as the
sons of our country, among whom
there are a great many Luther
an soldiers, n still fighting ia
the East against the Bolsheyiks.
The Russians have exiled more
than 100000 of our parishioners
into the depths Of Russia and
with them many of our clergy.
men with our General Super
intendent at their head; the Ger
man occupants looked at us with
estrangement, because we did not
want Ito join ourselves to the
United states Church in Prus-
STA, but remained faithful to
the faith of our forefathers, to
the Unaltered Augsburg Confess
sion there have been exiled en-
tire parishes many of our
churches, chapels and schools
have been demolished entirely
or destroyed to a certain degree
many of our parishioners died
far away from their country
in a strange land, and those who
have come back are poor and OPP
pressed. 1t happened many a
time that our hearts were fright
ened by the thought whether we
shall be able to bear all this,
whether the ~sufferings and af-
Elections brought upon us would
not break our strength, whether
we ever should be able TO re-
cover Il former Importance and
meaning. And even now, after
having suffered such gerat losses,
while seeing so many wants at
every step, when we are obliged
10 reorganize ourselves afresh
in New Poland, when facing the
enormous overweight of Catho-
licism in Poland, which makes
us meet with so many constant
disturbances, we are often inclin-
ed to ask anxiously: May we
hope for a better, for a brighter
future? Is the future of our be.
loved Lutheran Church in Poland
altogether securedP
Such reflections, though, are
interrupted by the confidence,
which is exceedingly strong in
our minds, that the Lord our
God will not suffer us to per-
ish. 1t is not in Wan that He has
placed us here in our Polish
land, it is not in vain that He
shielded US till this timel We
have to fulfill here a great and
holy mission: we are to be the
salt and the light of our dear
country, we are to preach the
true, the unfalsified word of the
Gospel for our people and for
its good and benefit. Besides
we are enlivened by the thought
and by the hope that we are
no more standing alone, that
there is standing beside us the
Lutheran Church in other far
away lands, which will give us
help and support.
This our hope was not mis-
led. The first help was given
us by the Lutheran Church in
America. 1t sent to us repre-
sentatiyes Of the National Luz
theran Council of America, who
have studied our conditions and
stated our principal needs; it
sent us its hearty and fraternal
greetings and good wishes, by
what moral help and support

the possible profits from poultry
keeping where careful management
Is practiced. During 1918 this pOul
tryman, who devOtes only part of
his time to chicken raising, kept
25O birds. which paid him a profit
over feed cost of more than 5000,
equivalent to "a bird. Included
In this amount are the sales of Q

that there is more money in keep

Paris, Jan. 20-President Wilson was the guest of the French Senate at a luncheon today. He was greeted by Antonine Dubost, the president, who made an eulogistic address In which he said the Senate welcomed the President and his ideas.
 M. Dubost said:
 MT. President: My colleagues and myself thank you for having been so good as to accept our invitation and to give us some hours of your time which we know to be devoted to the high meditations and the important negotiations upon which the fate of the peoples depends. From your first steps on the land of France and since your entry into Paris the French peo- pie has spontaneously given their hearts to you and they perceived at once in your frank smile and in your so loyal and open physiogomy, that you, too, were spontaneously giving yourself to them.
 You are today in an old palace of France and it is among these grand reminders of past times that with thoughts rejuvenated by Republican ardor, yet with patriotism, the French Senate shapes a history which aSeady counts IS centuries. We welcome here, MT. President, you and your

Riotous Scenes Occur In Berlin
 Following Elections On Sunday
MEMORIAL BLDG,
 BOARD TO MEET
Plan and Scope Committee of Chamber of Commerce
 Gets Busy.

The plan and scope committee of the Chamber of Commerce will meet at the Brooklawn club at $ o'clock tonight, and for the first time definite action on the proposed Memorial building will be taken
 What is expected to be the main topic of discussion at this meeting, Is the one or two-building idea. When a memorial building in honor of Bridgeport soldiers was first suggesxr ed, two factions immediately orga- ntzed, one advocating the erection of a building that would contain 8 large auditorium and rest and meeting rooms for soldiers of all wars. There was also to be included 8 trophy room.
 Then came the idea of erecting a central library in Bridgeport. Ad- mlnistratlon officials advanced the plan of adding this to the Memorial building, but Chamber of Commerce officials suggested the erection of a separate building, and later advocated a. group of civic buildings to be put Up within q short distance of each other making this section of the city 8 community center.
 All this will be gone over tonight and 1t Is expected that the commit tee will get as far as to mention pro- posed sites for the building or build ings.
