The causes back of this emigration
must be understood from conditions
prevailing in the homeland of these
emigrants. 1t was not, as usual, the
pressure of unfavorable economic con-
ditions in overpopulated Germany that
induced them TO leave the fatherland
and seek "A new home and better living
conditions in America. The emigrants
who ten years after their landing in
st. Louis took the lead in organizing
the Missouri Synod, did not come to

very little material advantages in the
new country In which they came to
settle. Their reason for coming to
America was an entirely ideal, or
spiritual, one They were looking for
home for their religious convictions.
where they could, without hndrance
from the government, worship God ac-
cording to the dictates of their con-
science ana propagate their faith.
German Religious Intolerance
They were not allowed to do this Ia
their home country. Already long be-
fore the emigration scheme was ma
tured among their leaders they had
suffered considerable because of their
religious convictions. They hailed from
parts Of Germany In which, owing to
the ravages of pletism and rational
ism, Lutheran confessional fidelity had
become a rare thing. In 1917 the then
Prussian king, Frederick ILL.,, issued a
unIon-edict by which the amalgama-
tion of the two parts of the Protestant
Church, the Lutheran and the Reform
ed, was to be effected. Prior TO that
time these two parties had existed as
separate bodies. maintaining their
separate confession, churches and re
ligious activities. The edict Of Fred
erick III. was unquestionably part of
the Prusslan governments scheme for

Perhaps they had Zeke's address in

let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people are
addressing letters to John Smith, New

Most OF the other German countries
initiated the policy of the Prussian
king and issued similar union-edicts.
But even In countries IKE Saxony,
where this was not done, the union
tendency was the dominant tendency
In state and church. AS result, both
Lutherans and Reformed who still ad-
hered to their confessional principles,
but mostly the former, had to suffer
great deal from the intolerant govern
ments. Permission for organizing
Free Church. Independent of state con-
troll, could not be obtained, although
many attempts to get such a permits
sion were made.
Decide on Emigration
Under these precarious, provoking
conditions the faithful members of the
Lutheran Church began to think of
leaving their home country and find-
ing new homes on the other side of the
Atlantic. The thought of emigration
was cherished for many years before
1t could be executed, for even the per-
mission to emigrate could not be OBJ
ments in Germany. One of the men,
who afterwards became the acknowl-
edged Leader OF the Missouri Synod,
DR.. Walther, writes regarding those
days as follows: How gladly would
the believing Lutheran pastor and
iayman have surrendered everything
If they could have obtained the per.

Rev MA. MATTHEWS

GUILTY PREACHERS

The Christian pulpit is the highest
place on earth. 1t is the only untram-
meled, unpurchasable throne In the
world. The preacher, IL he be real
preacher, is God-called, Godfilled,
d'vinely fitted, and systematically
commissioned. His authority and mes
sage are of supernatural origin. There
fore, he is decreed to be a leader. Ii
he meets these divine requirements he
is an expert in his exalted position.
When ever a minister of the Gospel
of Jesus Christ and His yicarious
death steps out of this exalted place
and fails to perform his duty as
courageous leader and fearless de-
fender of the faith delivered once for
all to the saints, he becomes guilty and
must be held responsible for all the
ills that result from his failure.
There are ministers who have, no
doubt, stepped from this high respon-
sible place and they are therefore
guilty of all the evils of the country
that have come as a direct result OF
their actions. Such ministers are
chargeable with the following defects !:
First: Laziness. They do not work
rot even half the time. Their sermons
show It, Their fences are down. Their
churches are un0rganized. They do not
take any part in the civic life of their
communities.
Second: They are towards. They
are afraid to speak plainly, pointedly,
and persistently against the sins of
their members. They are far from be-
ing like John the Baptist They do
not demand respect and attention
from men because they do not meet
men and challenge them In their evil
doings. They do not stand like brave
men should stand-face to face with
a guilty brother and accuse him.
Third: Busy Idleness. They are en-.
gagged In attending pink teas, and fool
ish female functions, whereas they

"MoRE BUSINESS

they are managers of local branches
