AFTER 100 YEARS
, Rev. S. T. HalIman Tells Unusual
Story.

story.
Rev. DR.. S. T. Hallman told a re-
porter of The Spartanburg Herald a
very wonderful story relative to the
exhumation of the body Of a preach
er after it had been in the grave over
100 years. The facts were supplied
him by people who were thoroughly
conversant with them and whom he
served as preacher twenty years ago.
They are persons of unimpeachable
veracity. Here Is the remarkable mar
rative in DR.. Hallman's own words:
"As far back as 1850 there were a
few German Lutheran churches IN
this state, among which was the old
ST. John's Lutheran church In New
berry county. The land on which the
building stood was held under a grant
from George III, King of England.
These immigrants who had come
here to escape the religious persecu-
tion Of the old country found it very
difficult to get pastors from their
Fatherland. There was then in the
community of st. Johns church a
German school teacher by the name
of Frederick Joseph Wallern-a learn
ed man, but not then an ordained
preacher. This the writer was told by
the very old people of that section
when, years ago, he was pastor there.
"The people, in their hunger for the
preached word, and for the sacrament
Of the church, naturally turned to their
scholarly teacher and plead with him
to fill that sacred office. He finally
consented and became pastor of that
church. History has not recorded the
durat on of his pastoral labors but he
died in 1916, and Lad begun his SER
vices there sometime in 1887. He was
buried in wooded section near his
home. There his body reposed for one
hundred and four years, a suitable in
scribed stone marking his place Of
rest.
Then the pastor Of st. Pauls
church near by, (the Rev.. S. P. Koon)
and officers and friends, decided to
remove his remains to the church
cemetery where his grave would be
carefully kept When his body was
taken up the skeleton of the man was
there in its entirety, the teeth showing
the dental work Of long ago. and the
arm ligaments so firm that a physician
who was present could not pull the
forearm of the elbow socket; nor
were the bones separated at the wrists
nor were any of the bones decayed.
Parts of the lining of the walnut cof-
fin remained, with the tacks which
were used.
"A strange fact remains to be told.
The root of n tree had made its way
down on one side of his coffin bed
passed around his feet, and up on the
other side, and then twining about his
head, as though intended to hold the
precious remains together.
Beyond all question, here is the
stamp of Gods approval on the gos-
pei ministry of one who surrendered
the office of teacher for that of win
ming souls to Christ. God, who knows
the end from the beginning, watches
over his remains over one hundred
years, and now suffers the silent voice
of Rev. Frederick Joseph Wallern to
speak in tones of infinite force to the
age of growing skepticism."

United States, however, the report
says, show a net loss for the two years
1918. and 1919. of 293,9GS. "an appall-

day school pupils of the denomination
in this country were 100000 less in

our nation was an actual participant

terrible effects.
"The year 1919 was the hardest the
churches of America have known, at
least since the Civil war. Methodism
in most of it's branches suffered, with
the other evangelical denominations,
actual losses. The Methodist Episco-
pal church suffered most of all, losing
43.262 in 1918, and 59,9S7 in 1919
1O3,249 in two years-and the condi-
tions were even worse if we leave out
foreign mission fields, for the net loss
in this country alone in 1919 was near

Church, South, lost 16,4O4 in that year.
In 1920 the tide turned for all evan

AMERICANS TIRED OF
THE SPECIAL WRITER'S

Special writers at the conference on
limitation of armaments are not liv-
ing up to expectations either as to
quality or quantity ftheir writings.
There is less demand for interpreta-
tive commentary articles and a great
er demand for the plain, unembel-
lished facts adduceG at the confer
ence. The reading public has been
confused by conflicting opinions of
these writer's, and has turned for a
true record of happenings at the con-
ference to the regular news service.
For months before the conference
special writers promised to become
conspicuous factrs in the interpreta-
tion of conference developments.
There was a popular demand for elu-
cidation, for Interpretation and for
establishment of what the public ex-
pected would be otherwise technical
and complex for the laity. Today the
situation is quite the reverse. The
reading public prefers the daily news
accounts, unfringed with comment,
untarmmeled by the opinions of spe-
cial writers. 1t wants facts. 1t wants
to think for itself. Rejection of H.
G. Wells article by the French and
a part of the British press reflects
this changing attitude of the reading
public.
As for freedom Of thought" which
has been brought into the Londor
Nails refusal to print Wells reflec-
tions on France, the publisher wa:
right. He was not IN duty bound tC
furnish Mr.. Wells a platform fol
voicing his dangerous views. The
only wonder is that reputable pub
fishers should have engaged MI
Wells to interpret" with all hi
known peculiarities of belief, con
ference with whose work he could no
possibly sympathize and which h
made no apparent effort to under
stand.

a treasury department is not a spec
tacular undertaking and if man un-
dertoOk to use it for spectacular pur-
poses he would feel uneasy. The
sensationalist in a national treasury
is as dangerous a the sensational
banker-we'd rather put our trust
elsewhere.
This inclination of Mr.. Mellon to
avoid publicity is nothing new with
him, and therefore it is the more i'm
pressive. He was one of the most
successful financiers in the country
before he accepted place in the cab
met, and he attained that success
without the country at large evel
having heard of him. Apparently

Mellon DOES REAL
Work ON HIS JOB

There are several things we like
about Secretary of the Treasury Mel
Ion, and chief of these is that he
never shows any signs of trying to
get into the limelight. To use a COM
mon expression, he is always con the
job" and Saving wood" That is ex-
actly the kind of man needed in the
treasury department these days, for
the nation has enormous financial
problems to be solved. Conducting
The Bozeman courier., 1921-12-21

wood is lifetime habit-a habit that
gives an impression of stability and
dependability.
Another characteristic of Mellon
that we like is his advocacy of econ
omy in government business. This is
probably result of habit, for few
men become rich unless they practice
economy. One of the first recon-
mendations made by the new secre-
tary of the treasury was in favor Of
a rigid cutting of national expendi-
lures as a prerequisite to the reduc-
tion of federal taxes. Probably the
most difficult task OF government is
to keep down expenses, for there is
constant demand for funds from the
public treasury.
1t is generally understood that Mr.
Melons policies in conducting the
treasury department have been a
very important factor in bringing
Liberty bonds back toward par. At
the outset of his administration Mr..
Mellon announced a far-sighted pro-
gram for the refunding of the short
dated debt, and with this program
successfully launched there has been
gradual improvement in the mar
ket position Of Liberty bonds and
Victory notes. Decreasing rates of
interest have also helped, and have
made the Liberty bonds relatively
better investments, so that holders
of the bonds have found restored val
ues in the securities they bought tC
help the government in time of need
Then, too, it is understood that Mr.
Mellon has bought bonds for the gov
ernment when there seemed to b,
more on the market than the marke
could absorb. Taking the surplus of
the market was not only a gain {,
the government, but helped the hold
ers Of bonds. This was not only
fUlfillment Of the obligation of tn
government, which the previous ad
ministration neglected, but q fulfill
ment of an implied promise of tn
Republican party. Like all othe
holders of Liberty bonds, we approx
the Mellon policy.
Some days ago Mr.. Mellon quietl
called down some federal employe
who were spending a lot of their tim
, and energy trying to formulate pub
lie opinion in accordance with thei
ideas. He intimated that their sol
] duty is to enforce the law.We lik
that policy, also. Not so long ago
looked as thugh propaganda had bc
come the chief purpose of govern
ment, and since radicalism is alway
most active in propaganda, the go'
ernment became, in effect, a teach'
Of radicalism. The fact is that none

pie should not be used tc f, Ter the
ideas of part of the people. IIr.
Mellon is right again.
In the few months he has tca1 at
the head Of the trea -ury department.,
Mellon has demonstrated a ui ,si-
tion to attend closely to his G. les
and let his record be jud yed /. re-
suits without continually sho ng

CONGRESSMAN AND CONSTITU-

1t is difficult for the citizens back

upon Congress. The member of either
