them" We should do so because
we cannot afford to lose the
blessings that we r sure to
derive from this great work 1T
is more blessed to give than to
receive"
Johan Matson,
President, Lutheran Free Church.
1.-The conflagration of the
late World War is unprecedent-
ed. 1t passeth all understand
ing. 1t is unparalleled in the IN
mails of human history. More or
less the whole mankind was
stricken with CONSERVATION and
the question came to millions Of
broken-hearted people: is the end
of the world at hand or are we
all going to perish? No wonder
that people came in such a stu
alton.
"Not only was the World War
unprecedented, but also the ter
rible destruction of life and prop
erty was unparalleled. Over
100000 of the youth of man
kind persisted by death and more
than twice that number was
crippled for lifetime and mil
lions of widows and children
were put in sorrow and need UNI
paralleled.
1--WE do not need any philo-
sopher to tell us that nations
great and small of the Europeai
continent are in a state Of Gala
nifty and poverty that is unique.
II is a stern fact that our Euro
pean Lutheran people are in a
helpless condition in regard to
their homes, their schools and
their churches. Is it possible
that we in our beloved and rich
country can close onr eyes to
this fearful situation in EuropeY
1t cannot be possible. There

an people in America, | most
Fundamentally recommend that.

"The gifts now called for will
bless hundreds of thousands of
others. They will also bless US.
Such blessings we need. Our
world is being dragged down by
cursed influences. National and
international tendencies to-day
are far from being of a helpful
and an unselfish character. So
cial and economic purposes are
driving men apart instead of
darwing them together. These
Influences enter our lives unrec-
ognized, warp our deepest
thoughts, and work sinister re-
suits. Can we not in some meas
ure counteract what is going on
within us by not recognizing and
responding to the glory there
is in this appeals
"Our appeal is the appeal Of
Christ for men in need. 1t is
the appeal of human need, and
so is the appeal of Christ Jesus.
II matters just nothing who the
men are. They are men made in
Gods image their eternal sal
walton paid for by Christ's
blood. He loves them. SO must
we. He pities, and longs TO serve
them through US, His discip-
les. 1t will cleanse our con-
sciences and our thoughts to do
this.
"It is the appeal of Christ s
Church, the only organization on
earth working in complete unset
fishness for the good of all men.
Our souls will be stronger to re-
sist if we will take part in this
unselfish service.
1T is the appeal of our Lnth-
eran Church. Others. openly ac-
knowledge that our Church has
undertaken this world task in
a definite, leading way they had
not conceived. Every n of us
has a view of our Church as a
Church of the whole world such
as none of us was large enough
to see hitherto. It will keep us
large, it will destroy our small
ness. if this appeal makes US
world-men mot men Of the
world)."

or starving. Neutral countries
have done their best in spite
of prohibitive costs. Thousands
Of children have been sent to
Scandinavia where they have
been fed and clothed. Lutheran
institutions in Germany and
Austria would have been forced
to close and the children turned
into the streets if it had not been
for aid from the National Luth-
eran Council. A touching appeal
comes from twelve Lutheran
pastors now eXiled in Finland.
They once served flourishing
congregations in Russia. Bolshe-
visits destroyed their churches,
scattered their flocks. Can we
justify any refusal to help? Is
il not the duty of the Lutheran
Church in America to help con-
seryatiye groups and instltu-
tions who stand for confessional
Lutheranism in order that they
may become a nucleus for the re-
birth of their church in their re-
spetcive c%ountriesY The National
Lutheran Council is not empow-
cred to establish church commun-
ion with them. That can only be
done by such synods as may so
decide. But the Council can help
now in the hour of their des-
perate needs. 1t is also our duty
to help preserve Lutheran mis-
sions in former German colonies.
| therefore appeal to Lutheran
Christians who know their duty
to help save fellow Lutherans
and Christians from starvation
and distress, 30 help save for u
church what can be saved from
the wreckage Of the distressed
and scattered people of u
faith. | plead with you ALL"

President of the National Luth-
eran Church Council
EVERY Lutheran in America
should take part in the campaign
to raise the 81, 100000 needed
to continue the relief work in
Europe that was begun last
year. We should do so because
the work is needed; it is needed
in order to help our distressed
Lutheran brethren in Europe; it
is needed in order TO preserve
the Lutheran church and the
Lutheran faith in the European
countries it is needed in order
that the foreign mission work
begun by the Lutheran churches
in Europe may be carried on by
Lutherans. We should do so be-
cause we are in a position to
help even without a great sacri-
flee ON our own part if We were
in their place and they enjoyed
our privileges, we would I'M
doubleday wish to be remembered
by them. Therefore all things
whatsoever we would that men
should do to you, do we even so to

DROPPING PRICES
IN LOCAL MARKET
Philadelphia Electric Touched
Ne,O Low Record for The
Year at 2f I-8

The local market was soft with sag
giug prices This was partly in
sympathy with the lowering of values
in the larger market. partly because of
the extreme narrOwncsS of tho market
and partly because Of the total lack of
speculative interest. There was no
great amount of selling in any part OF
the list but with the demand painfully
limited prices naturally suffered. Re
Ccssions from small fractions to over a
point. were in consequence recorded all
through the list. There was only one
cXccption-J. G. Brill. which at the
opening scored a gain of 81 30 on very
small transactions. at 40.

Philadelphia Electric carrying that
stock down to Il new low record for

United Gas Improvement, on moderate
selling dipped to 4J5s. Small selling
orders forced Pennsylvania Railroad
under 40 to 39Ts. On more limited Of
fcringS Electric Storage Battery dropped
back 81 to 1l9. Insurance Company Of
North America yielded !. at 30. Lc-
high Navigation was lower at Gi
and 'I.rhigh Valley y at n7s. Amcri-
Gas seemed to be pCggcd ut ~.
All other considerations, for the time
being at least. have been rclegatod to
the background by overwhelming intu
encc of the acute monetary situation.
In banking circles it has been stated
continually for some weeks that the sit
uation here is absolutely sound, and
brokers' loans are smaller than at
time in many years, and most of the
larger houses are perfectly able TO han
die the current business from their
ideal balances.
None of the promised sensations ma

column few days ago the management
had IA very comfortable majority Of
proxies and the meeting and election
went through accordingly to slate. If
there has been any wonderful change
ir the character of the ownership moth
ing transpired at the cut and dried
meeting TO throw any light on that sub
jrct. In all events, the majority of
the shareholders appeared to be en-
tircly satisfied with the directors and
management, which they demonstrated
IN their proxies.
