Mr.. Stefansson said his de-

his conviction that the age of eX-

he should give up exploring while
he was still young enough to de-

Faircloth invited Moore in and,
seeing the neighbor masked, asked
what his intrusion meant. Moore
replied that there were others out

viction of any klansman in North

Luther was backed by the ruling
Prince, Charles V, in Saxony, who
objected to his people being taxed to
build a great and royal cathedral in
Rome and to help keep it up in roval
splendor by the people having to pay
Peters pence.
Numerous wars thru hundreds of
years have been fought in most
tries to free the people from the rule
of the pope at Rome. The contest
continues to day.
Religious and political liberty means
that no Church, no pope or preacher
has a right to dominate over the
minds of man, except by what he pre-
sents from the laws of God as found
in the Bible.
Martin Luther was not only a great
preacher but a religious poet and sin
GER and musician. He wrote thirty
HYMNS which became common songs
of the people. His beautiful cradle

GOD A MIGHTY FORTRESS

A mighty fortress is oUr God,
A bulwalk never failing;
Our Helper he. amid the flood
OF mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great,
And. armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
Did we in our own strength confde,
Our striving woul be losing;
Were not the right man on our side,
The man of God's own choosing.
Does ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth is his name,
From age to age the same,
And he must win the battle.
And though this world, with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us;
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
The Prince of darkness grim
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
Fol loi his doom is sure.
One little word shall fell him.
That word above all earthly powers
No thanks to them-abideth
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also:
The body they may kill:
Gods ruth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.

Both these were sung by the choir
and congregation.

Martin Luther

Away in a manger.
No crib for His bed,
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down His sweet head;
The stars in the heavens
Looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus,
Asleep in the hay.
The cattle are lowing,
The poor baby wakes,
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes;
I love Thee, Lord Jesus,
Look down from the sky,
And stay by my cradle
To watch lullaby.
Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever,
And love me, 1 pray;
Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care,
And take me to heaven
To live with Thee there.
