sissippi Valley in 1888. You tell me
that this company. inspired by the de-
sire to locate in country where they
could worship in accordance with the
dictates of their own conscience, set
out from Europe in five vessels, deter
mined to establish a. colony of their
own in the United States. The paral-
lei between this migration and the
voyage Of the Mayfiower. more than
zoo years earlier. Is one which need
not be suggested. 1t merely chances
that the Lutheran migration had not
been called to my attention, and !
doubt if it is generally known about as
it deserves to be.
From that beginning developed a
great community which has contribut-
ed vastly to the material and spiritual
development of our country.
ut is, therefore, pleasure to con-
! vey to the Missouri Synod of the Luth-
eran church my congratulations and
Fluctuations on the anniversary of

Twenty-three pastors and q dozen lay
delegates met in Chicago. then town

synod, which now embraces more than
1000, 900 members and $500 pastors.
The Chicago meeting was preceded
by one in Dresden when in 1885 emil
grafton to America for religious free
dom was decided upon. Two years
later. the expedition set forth in five
ships for New Orleans with $50 men,
women and children. Ono vessel was
lost but the others proceeded up the

Reading Reports
Income Equal to
l5.3l85 on Stock
Compares With 2l.2l%o in
1920; Decrease in Gross
More Than Balanced by
Cut in Operating Expenses

The annual statement of the Phila-
dolphia and Rcading Railway, released
concurrently with the 1921 report OF
the Reading Company to-day, shows
net income Of ss,49e,ooo after charges
or the equivalent Of 1881 per cent on
the capital stock. all Of which Is owned
by the Reading Company. This COM
pares with se,Olo,O0O. or 2l.2l per cent
in 1920 on the basis OF Federal compen-
sation and guaranty for a total OF eight
months.
After appropriating ss.o55.ooo for in
vestments In physical property. s53.7ss
for sinking and reserve funds, and pay
ing s5,735, 900 in dividends the surplus
stood nt s4,s3s 900. compared with $lo,-
10000 when the year started.
A comparison Of the 1921 statement
with the report Of actual railway oper-
atoms during 1920 indicates the prog
ress made by the Philadelphia and
Reading in bringing expenses under
control. II shows how an operating
loss Of 1855, 900 in 1920 was converted
into net operating income Of sl2,s06,000
last year The decrease Of s9,S95,00o
in gross operating income was more
than balanced By reduction OF $2l,-
$4,000 In operating expenses. About
81 00O. 900 OF this reduction was ae-
counted for by smaller expenditures
for maintenance. Railway tax aeeruals
were SIZES, 900, compared with S2,ol2'-
900 in 1920.
The balance sheet showed net current
assets OF 3,4s7 900. compared with
S22,556, 900 ~ the end Of 1920. The
cash item was practically unchanged at
si.s5s, 900, but there was new item
entitled miscellaneous accounts re-
ceivable" carried az Sl9,OI!OOO. Cur
rent liabilities were reduced from VIZ
3s7. 900 to Sis,I2l,ooO.
There is scarcely any change In any
OF the items composing the Reading
Company 1921 statement The surplus
after all charges was s9,546,O0O, or s.oS
per cent on the common stock aiter
dedueting the usual dividends on both
classes Of preferred stock. THIS COM
pared with s9,72l,000. or 9s5 per cent,
in 1920. The only material change was
si,O72,000 in dividend income, more
than half OF which was aeeounted ior
by the smaller distribution on Phila-
delphla q Reading Railway stock. An
increase in revenue from other sources,
however. brought total income up TO
Sis.02s 900. compared with Sl6,0se'ooO
In 1920 There was a surplu us OF Ss,ofo'.
GOO available for dividends, as against
go .72i 900 in the previous year. AZ tne
end OF 1921 the Reading Company so nad
a nroft and loss surplus Of s35,O77,oOO,
as compared with s3s,sse'oOO a year
previous.
