CHURCH MEMBERSHIP
. SUFFERS SETBACK
tBy Associated Pressl

BERLIN, July ESQ great IS the
falling off in church membership
here that the Berlin Synod of the Ger
man Lutheran church has voted to
take drastic measures against per-
sons who withdraw. Reports read at
a recent meeting of the synod showed
that while in 1915 there were only
l25 defections. the number last year
Preached 5,2S7. As many women as
men withdrew, most of them being
young, and the majority members of
the Social-Demoeratic party. :"
/ The synod resolved that all those
withdrawing should be excluded from
the privileges of the church, their
children to be denied baptism and to
receive confirmation instruction only
on certain condition. To make these
measures effective the synod voted TO
introduce cards to show that the hold
ers are bona fide church members.
Escape from church taxation is said
to be the principal reason for the
Withdrawals. Every German citizen
is assumed to be a member of sthe
state church and is taxed for its up
keep. Formerly there were few
Withdrawals owing to the difficulties
placed in the way of those wishing to
do SO and also to the social discredit
THAT accompanied the act. But under
a new law all a person has to do is to
appear before a designated official
and state his desire to give up his
church membership. Thereafter he is
exempt from the payment Of church
taxes.

Instead Of winning back progress
sives who followed Colonel Roosevelt
in 1912, the nomination Of Harding
on a reactionary, ambiguous and
insincere platform proves the utter
impossibility of reforming either Of
the old parties by working from
within
"For twenty years. continued Mr.
Pinchot, "honest Independents have

The public is deeply indignant at the
spectacle of a great party that not
only offers a reactionary as candi-
date, but rubs this in by a platform
that either sidesteps or takes the
reactionary end of every big ques-
ton, such as the cost of living, gov
eminent ownership Of railroads and
natural resources, ct cetera.
in my opinion, the American peo-
pie, hard pressed by taxes and the
high cost of living, are in no humol
