Or, will not the young people

Oldl 1OliE8t, NOl lilllGiu3 MILL, |
and a number Of other places.
Recently a Lutheran of Lincoln,
Nebraska, donated $4,000 to Mid
land College, Fremont, Nebraska.
Nor has Il own synod, the Dan.
ish Ev.-Luth. Church of Ameri-
ca, failed to catch the spirit of
giving in large sums. We have
recently paid up all u old
debts. We are raising 100000
as a pension fund for old mini
sters. We are contemplating to
raise about a quarter of a mil
lion dollars for a new school. One
of our church members of Iowa,
a business man who knows where
of he speaks, says that this sum
can be expected from our church
people in the state of Iowa. We
would not misuse our people,
generosity as we have been warn
ed against. Yet, | do not think
that our people care to have such
a warning given. | rather think
hat they are waiting for the
board to push the matter for
ward as soon as our next an
nual convention has decided
where TO build the new school.
The only thing our local churches
want to warn against is building
before we have the money. They
do not want debt. But they will
donate the money and then build.
| believe that by previous publ
city, systematic arrangement and
united effort the necessary funds
ean be secured in a week s drive
by unpaid solicitors. This | be-
lieve would also have been the
ideal procedure with regard to
the ministers fund Certainly
we can build a new school.
(2) And we can crowd that
school with students. Among the
young folks of our churches there
are more high school graduates
than previously. One Of our mi
nisters in Iowa made the state
ment recently that among the
Danish young people Of his com
munity there was an average Of
ten High School graduates every
year. Out of this number three,
he said. went 10 some college or
University for continued study
Such students could be admit
ted to the Freshman year Of
our college. Besides, many Of
those who are attending their 10
cal High School will be attracted
to our Academic or preparatory
department when we have build
ings and equipment equal to
their High School. Parents can
now afford TO send their children
away to school, which has not
generally been the case in the
past. And why should we not
send a man out through the sy-
nod to inspire and persuade the
young men and women to at
tend our college. This was prae-
ticed by the late Rev. j. p
Jensen with wonderful success.
There must be an inspiration
from our school that makes itself
felt in some way to the youth
throughout the whole church.
And then the spiritual life Of the
school must be nourished by the
congregations. The spiritual heart
beat of the local churches must
be made that of the school.
The whole synod knows that
we are greatly in need Of a new
college and seminary. Nor will
many venture to say that we are
not able to carry the proposed
plan into effect. But when are
we going to do this9 | am CON
WINGED that the time for concer-
ted action will be at our next
convention, when we shall have
the necessary information from

NEGROES LYNCHED
BY JACKSON WILLIE MOB
Unknown Men Break Into Jail to Sc-
cure Victims Charged with Murder.

"
Jacksonville. Fla, Sept. S--Un-
known men broke into the county Jail
at an early hour this morning, took
thercfrOm two negroes held for the
murder recently OF George DuBosc,
carried them in automobiles out into
the outskirts Of the city, riddlcd them
with bullets, put ropes around their
nccks and dragged them through the
city streets dropping one Of the bodies
in front Of one Of the leading hotels.
Shcriff's deputies and police arc
now out hunting for the other body.
The sheriff heard early in the night
that there might be an attempt to
lynch negro held in Jail on the
charge of assaulting a little white girl
so, on advice Of Judge Simmons he put
| this negro in an automobile and sent
him to st. Augustine for safe Keep
ing. Arriving at the Jail and not find
ing this negro, the mob took the other
two and put them to death.
1t is estimated that there were only

That wounded soldiers were buried
alive on the battle elds of France,
where it is said the poppics grow
crimsonhued from soil enriched by
the blood Of heroes, is verified by u
young Newberrian who narrowly cs-
capped such an awful fate. If it makes
one shudder to think Of the terrible
slaughter when men fell as fast as
the watch clicked, according to a
writer recently describing The sccncs
where men were "plunging forward
In the teeth OF a terrific and tcrrify-
ing electric tornado" as it seemed,
what must be ones thoughts when
one reflects that some Of the mon who
fell and were taken for dead were ac-
tually buried while still living.
This is supposed to be, and doubt
less IS, true from the standpoint of
the young soldier in question and the
incidents related by him. He lay on
the battlefield when "thc streaks and
shafts Of fire and the flying shrapncl
as veritable spray OF molten lava
thrown from the bowels Of a mad
dcned volcano punctured the black
ness with rain Of rcd as mcrciless
as the fires Of hell" There whore
the unwounded mon kept going on
with q courage that was supreme
and spirit that strengthened even
the wounded and dying mon on to
final efforts Of sublime hcroism that
challenges today the history Of the
world to show its equal!
In writing up this returned New
bcrrian | am also holding up TO pub
lie view for loving inspection others
Of our boys, some Of whom were also
wounded and who suffered on those
