centennial PROGRAM
OF LUTHERAN CHURCH
AT PERSHING SUNDAY
Especial to The Palladium)

PERSHING, Ind, Sept 21-Celebra-
ton of the centennial anniversary of
the Germantown Lutheran church,
which was the first Lutheran church
established in the county, will be held
on the church grounds on Sunday,
Oct. l. The centennial sermon will
be preached by Rev NJ l. Wagner,
d. D., of Dayton. o. who holds the dis
t1nction of being the only minister
produced by this congregation. He is
son of the former Edward Wagner
who lived south of Heiser's station.
An all day program is planned, begin
ming at 10 o'clock A picnic basket
dinner will be served on the lawn at
noon. A pageant also will be present
ed by the congregation in the after
noon before the centennial sermon.
Proud of Minister
Members of the congregation of this
church take pride in the long service
which its ministers have given it. Two
OF the former ministers, Rev. John
Insensee and Father Hursch rest in
the cemetery now and two others were
recalled to the charge three separate
times. One of these, Rev. Jacob Wes-
ner, supervised the construction of the
present building in 1890 and himself
the congregation for seven years the
first term and three years in his sec
ond charge. DR.. NJ. j. Stirewalt also
was recalled repeatedly.
As originally established, the church
used the German language, and this
continued to be the tongue until 1854,
when the younger element, coming into
greater influence moved for the adop-
ton of English.
Split in Church
This revolutionary innovation was
bitterly fought by the older members,
and for time the dispute caused a
split in the church, the German speak
ing worshippers establishing another
church which lived for a short time.
Finally, however, the division was
healed The death of Rev. John In
sensee, who was pastor at this time,
was thought to have been fastened by
sorrow over the contention.
The first church building in this 10
cation was log house, originally built
for school house 1t stood on the
same two acres which was bordered
on the north side by the State Road
which has since been laid on a route
farther to the south.
The first pastor, Rev Jacob Gruber
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-09-21

also still holds the record of the long
est service, of 13 years. The cemetery
was dedicated in the first year, one OF
the pioneers falling dead at field work.
Because none of the forest had been
cleared as yet. he was buried immedj-
ately in the rear of the church, with
a ran fence built against the church
wall to guard the grave. This grave
is still there, unmarked and lost now.
The. oldest marked grave in the GENE
terry is one dug three years later, for
a child.
In 1888 brick building was erected,
which stood until the present build
ing succeeded it in 1890 Each build
ing closely neighbored its predecessor,
and the spot where the first building
stood is carefully marked now.

CARTON CASE IS
BASE Of ATTACK
y BY SEN. Willis
Belgian Woman Forced to Re-
turn Because Her Son is
Held Ineligible Under
Quota.
BY Harry B. Hunt.

WASHINGTON. - Official Washing.
ton is aroused over the pitiful cnse OF
Mrs. Remi Carton. Belgian woman VINO
with her .eight-year-old son was forced
by official red tape at Ellis Island 10
make an extra sooo.mile round "trip 20
Europe in order TO gain entry 70 the
United States under new quota
Indignation over the Carton case IS
as intense among supporters OF he
quota" immigration law as II is among
opponents OF the measure.
Senator Frank B. Willis Of Ohio, q
member of the senate committee on
immigration and supporter OF the
quota" measure, condemned the Carton
ruling In the strongest language.
Absolutely absurd" Willis said. at

on 1t.
Horse Sense Lacking.
IT should say that what was needed
in This case and what seems to have
been wholly lacking in 1t was just Il
little bit of common horse sense It
wouldn't have taken very much.
"As a member Of the senate commit.
tee on immigration, j did a great deal
to help the enactment of the present la,r
and had not little to do with getting
It through. l want to see its spirit en-.
forced TO the fullest degree.
But l do not want to see trifllng
technicalties applied in cases such as
this--such absurd technicalties weaken
regard for the law.
TO force this mother and child to
make round trip 10 Europe in order
TO enter under new quota when that
quota actually was open at the time OF
the ruling is positively silly"
Mrs. Carton, whose husband has de.
clared his intention of becoming a Unit.
ed States citizen, returned to Belgium
from America several months ago to
bring back their son. She was told
before sailing that there would be no
difficulty about her readmission il she
returned within six months
Forced TO Go Back.
On their arrival at Ellis Island, how.

that because the Belgian quota Of I'M.

been exhausted and because they ar

perently halr.splitting decision.
she was entitled 10 return within
six months and be admitted.
But she returned as the custodian
OF person who never had been admit
ted to the country and VINO could not
be admitted under the 1922 quota
which was the year OF his arrival"
Too bad, but law is law and must
be enforced" is the attitude OF inspect.
