standing Individual human lives. The
worlds progress has developed through
victories won in the struggles of single
souls. Men first wrestled out within
themselves that which after them the
whole world wrestled out.
This fact is strongly emphasized by
the occasion we are celebrating. We
are commemorative the victory one
man won in his own soul which he
won, however, in the name of God and
for all men. The fact is doubly en-
phasized, however, when we recognize
that his victory was specifically a
triumph for this very fact, namely, the
right of the individual soul to be a
battle ground for eternal truth, With
out dictation from any source.
"That victory has ben decided one
for mankind. The fundamental facts
of our national life present the evil
dence. Even Roman Catholicism in
this land presents the evidence. It
once was true that good Roman Ca
thOlic was such, not because he be-
lieved that church's teaching to be the
truth, but only because that church
told him it is the truth His own be-
lief as to whether it is truth or not
counted nothing at all. The American
Roman Catholic refuses to make his
decision upon any other ground than
his own souls individual conviction.
The meeting was under the auspices
of the Lutheran Ministers of Greater
New York and was the climax Of a
number of meetings throughout the city

construction is the Eastern Front. He
pointed out the fact that all the Amer
lean relief agencies, the Hoover Admin
istration, the Red Cross, and the Ma
tiOnal Lutheran Council, are devOting
their strength to the task Of meeting
the physical and spiritual restitution
of the countries along the Eastern
Front like Esthonia, Latvia, Lithuania,
Poland and Volhynia, to which should
be added Austria. Deprecated cur
rency, the lack of food and clothing,
the Reorganization of industry and
commerce, have resulted in extreme
suffering on the part Of large bodies Of
the people in these lands The care Of
orphan children, old people, and the
refugees from Russia represents a
large part of the problem of physical
relief. Hundreds Of churches, cllapels,
schools and other church buildings
have been injured or destroyed by war.
For example, the great Lutheran
cathedral at Riga was struck by fifteen
cannon balls and the cost Of repair will
not be less than $4,000. On the East
ern Front millions of dollars worth Of
church property has been sacrificed in
the war. The Revolution succeeding
the war, the Bolshevist invasion, the
martyrdom of many pastors. the prox-
unity to Russia with the constant
propaganda Of the Reds has resulted
in a condition Of great unrest and poor
morale on the entire Eastern Front.

more, the Intellectual strength and
spiritual force Of the people Of these

countries are seriously menaced. Civ
ilization in Central Europe and indeed
in the Continent of Europe as whole
lis dangerously threatened, and as is
we'll known, in Russia itself there has
been an almost utter collapse Of civil
.ization. The time will come when the
great problem Of effective relief and
reconstruction in Russia will confront
the Christian world. However, it may
be with humanitarian organizations,
whose main purpose is to save human
life and to help to tide over critical
situation, the relief agency of the
Church must have deeper and broad

has adopted the watch-word America

slogan will be America Alone. But
the Church Of Christ, bearing the name
Of His great servant, Martin Luther,
who stood for the truth of God as q
determining factor for the individual
conscience and for human conduct,
must rise to higher and broader view.
Is there desperate human need and
suffering on that Eastern Front? Is
the Church Of Jesus Christ seriously
threatened there? Is Christian civil
ization menaced by the breakd down OF

SOX CONFESSIONS
KEEP COURT BUSY

Chicago, July 26-The confession
testimony is expected to consume the
entire day and If the state decides to
call William Maharg and Joe Gedton,
their two remaining witnesses, they
probably will not take the stand before
tomorrow. The state, however, may
decide its case is complete without
their testimony.
Meanwhile preparations are going
forward for the proposed investigation
by a grand jury Of the newest baseball
scandal the alleged $4,000 bride
given by Arnold Rothstein for the
testimony presented to the first grand
jury while the states attorneys have
also announced wider investigation
of the 1919 scandal and other possible
in case convictions are
secured in the present cases.

BOOTlEGGER WINS
LAKE ST. LOUIS RACE

Montreal, Que, July 26.--The sloop
Bootlegger of st. Paul, Mimi, today
won the trophy defended by boats
entered by the Royal St. Lawrence
yacht club, taking first place for a
second time in the international races
on Lake ST. Louis Freebooter, its
companion entrant from St. Paul,
again finished second. This gave the
Yankees a point victory over the Ca.
madam sloops Red Patch and Beaver,
II to 6.
Bootlegger covered the thirteen
mile windward and return course to-
day in 1866 Freebooter, which
crossed the starting line eight sec
onds astern of its companion, finish
ed one minute and three and one-half
second later.
Beaver came in third, little more
than a minute later, and Red Patch
finished last, nearly ten minutes after
Bootlegger had been hailed as the
victor. At times during the last leg
1t seemed that the Beaver might
wrest the second position from Free
booter.
After the yachts squared away for
the run before the wind towards the
finish line the Beaver remained in
third position and the second Canad.
ian boat always was a considerable
distance in the rear.
Weather conditions gave the boat
men every opportunity to demonstrate
their skill Half gale blew the

FAMOUS ENGLISH RACE HORSE
Eclipse, Bred by the Duke Of Cumber-
land, Was the Sensation Of
His Generation.

That celebrated race horse, Eclipse,
which died Feb. 2S, 1889, at the ripe
age Of % years, received his name on
account of his being born during an
eclipse of the sun, and it became curl
ousIy significant and appropriate when
in mature life he was found to pass
all contemporary horses as regarding
speed.
Eclipse was bred by the Duke Of
Cumberland, brother Of George III,
and aftcrWard became the property Of
Dennis O'Kelly, who on his death be
queathed the animal along with all
his brood mares and other horses to
his brother Philip. For many years
Eclipse lived in retirement from the
turf, but was in other ways source
OF considerable revenue to his owner
on account Of the many visitors who
came to see the renowned hero Of the
race track who was passing his last
days at Clay Hill near EPSON.
In those days 1t was not the custom
TO insure the lives of animals, and
the fact that Eclipse was insured for
an enormous sum only made his popu
larity the greater. When it became
necessary to remove him he was so
worn out that carriage had to be
especially constructed to carry him.
The secret of his immense success
was revealed by the autopsy, when it
was discovered that his heart was of
unusual size, as it weighed thirteen
poundS.--Chicago journal.

man regained the bantamweight
championship of the world by clearly
outpointing Joe Lynch in fifteen
rounds at Ebbetts' field last night.
The judges lost no time at the end
in awarding the verdict to Herman.
Herman was Lynch's master in near

The weight Of both boys was an
nounced as 1l6 pounds. In the very
first round Herman stepped right out
and raped Joseph with series OF
left and right smashes to the face.
During one Of the warm scrimmages
in the opening frame Lynch went to
the flood but 1t was believed to have
resulted from slip rather than
blow from the little Italian. How
ever, that flop did not help Lynch any.
