ONWARD CHRISTIAN
kLANSMEN

From out the mists in spotless robes
A million marchers come in sight;
With steady tread and purpose firm,
They come to battle for the Right.
They battle not with sword nor gun
No Hymn of Hate is theirs
With vision, broad and righteous
thought,
They lay all evil bare.
A cross of Truth lights up their path
And guides them through the night;
The wicked cringe and flee in fear
Before this cross of Light. -
They guard our shores from alien foes
Who seek our land to gain;
Our glorious flag must ever wave
And ever without stain.
Our fothers' spirit lives again 81.
|. In the Klansman's heart today;
1t lives for you-it lives for me
Oh, do not say it "Nay."
Americans! Fall into line,
And help your brothers true; 4
Don this robe Of snowy white, w.
And show that you're true blue.
Then Onward, Christian Klansmen,
Marching as to war, =.
With the Fiery Cross of Justice > 3
Going on before. IL, !.

THE WONDERFUL EARTH

School books tell us in our youth
that the earth is round globe, slight
ly fattened at the, poles, and that it
travels around the sun in path $50
millions of miles in length, making
365 revolutions on it's axis during the
journey. While the earth is Of first
Importance to the intelligent beings
who inhabit its surface, in compare
son with the stellar universe it is,
in physical proportion, utterly insig-
nificant. An astronomer makes this
comparison: Take an atom one-ten
thousandth of an inch in diameter and
take it and drop it in the center of
Lake Erie, and it will bear the same
proportionate relation to the waters
Of the lake, that our earth bears to
the universe. But the mind is the i'm
portant thing in this universe, as in
all uniyerses, and prevails over insen-
safe matter. Our tiny world is, af-

Earthquakes we are told are caused
by vast movements of continents in

and the continents banks are pre-

about the earth or the universe, but
our knowledge is increasing constant

A TOAST TO The FLAG

1000 AMERICAN
Here's to the Red of it,
There's not thread of it,
No, nor a shred of it,
In all the spread of it,
From foot to head
/ But heroes bled for it,
Faced steel and lead for it,
Precious blood shed for it,
Bathing it Red.
Here's to the White of it,
Thrilled by the sight of it
Who knows the right of it,
I But feels the weight of it
Through day and night;
Womanhood's care for it
Made manhood dare for it,
Purity's prayer for it
Keep it so White.
Here's to the Blue of it,
Heavenly view of it,
Star-spangled hear of it,
Honesties die of it
Constant and True.
Here's to the whole of it,
Stars, Stripes and Pole of it,
Here's to the soul of it,
Red, White and Blue.

If we are to accomplish any real re-
suits we must at least work together,
standing shoulder to shoulder, not in
controversy with the Church of Rome
or any other Church, but in promoting
Bible study, in insisting upon clear
and fearless preaching of the gospel
in our pulpits with Jesus Christ as the
only Savior and upon holy life and
conduct on the part of our member
ship, and in promoting national and
worldwide Lutheran missions. Our
best answer as Lutherans to calumny
is consistent Christian life in the
Spirit of the Master, characterized
also by earnest, fervent prayer.
AS Lutherans we must do our ut
most now to safe guard the principles
of the Protestant Reformation, pro-
claiming Jesus as the only Savior,
the open Bible and the universal
priesthood of all believers. We must
strive to develop a real mutual I'M
Outstanding and Lutheran solidar-
ity. When we have accomplished this
we can began to prepare fresh apol-
ogetic of Lutheranism (and why not
of Protestantism?), in view of chang
ed conditions generally. The Roman
Church now has an International
Truth Society with headquarters on
Bergen St., Brooklyn, for the purpose
of publishing and distributing tracts
which set forth in direct, positive
manner the teachings of the Church.
Why could not we establish an ALL
Lutheran Truth Society, having men,
bers in all Lutheran synods, which
should publish and distribute Luther
an tracts setting forth the fundament-
al teachings of the Bible and of our
church, free from that controversial
spirit which has been dominant in the
past? What we need is clear cut,
simple, positive statement of the
truths we as Lutherans confess, free
from elaborate refutations of what
other Christians may believe. This
may seem a strange statement for an
editor of a Lutheran church paper to
make, yet it is quite evident that the
spirit of the present age is such that
it will not countenance a controversial
apologize, and the Catholic Church
knows it and is accommodating itself
accordingly in the interest of the ex-
tension of truth as it sees it. Would
it be wrong for Professionalism and
Lutheranism to act in the same
spirit?
As our readers again look upon the
earnest features of Luther as he is
pictured standing before the Diet at
Worms, let them all resolve anew to
stand firm for their evangelic faith as
Luther did on that memorable occa-
sion. Let them also resolve to be
better Lutherans than before, more
kind Christians in their relation to
others, more fervent in their prayers,
and more jealous and enthusiastic in
their witnessing for their Master.
And then let US all hope and pray and
strive for a Lutheranism, one and in
separable, in America which shall to
the present age be in the fullest and
most harmonious sense an exponent
of the faith for which Luther and the
Lutheran fathers fought so valiantly
with the sword of the Word and the
spirit.-The Lutheran Companion.

MOTHER
BY T. K. WRAY

As the years roll by and l. think of
the days
When 1 sobbed on my mothers
knee,
AS she brushed back my locks with
that wonderful touch,
In fancy again I can see
Those beautiful eyes as they looked
into mine.
And again I can hear that sweet
song
AS 1 cuddled up close in her loving
embrace,
How her magic could right
every wrong.
She sang to me songs of a bright.
fairyand,
Of place all blossomeds: with
flowers;
Then I soon fell asleep with my
troubles all gone,
And the moments soon sped. into
hours.
The hours were too short as slept on
her breast
And dreamed of this beautiful
AS she rocked me and kissed me and
Rugged me to her,
While a, mothers tear fell on my
face.
Every tear that she shed was a foun-
tain of love;
Every sacrifice linked with a joy;
No day was too long, no task was too
hard
AS she tenderly cared for her boy.
AS grew to a man that same tender
care,
Like the watch. of the wild DER
its young,
Never seemed to forget, never SEEM
ed to grow tired,
If faltered or paused the closer
she chung.
She sleeps near the place where 1
spent boyhood days,
Where l swung On the old-fash-
Toned gate,
Where the woodbine clings to the
porch as of yore,
And the whipporwill calls to his
mate.
To that sacred old place again I'll re-
turn
Where she moulded and fashion
ed my way,
And in reverence kneel where we laid
her to rest
And watch till the close of the
day.
When the day has grown old and, the
deep shadows lay,
Where the pale of the moon casts
it's glow,
I'll follow the brook in the silvery
sheen
To place where fragrant flowers
grow,
And there where I spent golden days
that have passed
I'll pluck just the sweetest that
bloom,
Then carry them back to that spot I
revere
And place them on my mothers
tomb.
All the pleasures of life with their
riches and fame
I'd gladly give back for the joy
Of the passionate kiss and that Won
derful touch
Of my mother when was a boy.

LUTHER and THE PRESENT DAY lUTHERAN|SM

The visit in America at this time OF
50 distinguished Luther scholar as
DR.. Nathan Soderblom, archbishop OF
Uppsala, can have but one effect
namely, to quicken the Lutheran spirit
in Lutherans themselves and to give
non-Lutherans new interest in
Luther and the Church that bears his
name. The heroic spirit of Luther
who stood fearlessly for definite gos-
pel truths and certain inalienabie hu-
man rights, does not in any marked
degree characterize even present day
Lutherans. The hurry-scurry life OF
to-day finds little time for serious
thinking on religious and church prob
lens. We are too much preoccupied
with our business, our money-gettmg,
our social activities and our personal
pleasures to enjoy even an undisturb-
ed home life, much less to give any
serious attention to matters OF re-
ligion and. church. In this respect
Professionalism as a whole is alike
everywhere. There is, however, this
distinction, that while the rank and
file of the Reformed churches by lib
eral contributions make it possible for
their church leaders to carry on
vigorous campaign for their partlcu-
lar churches, we. Lutherans are too
prone to be content with our past
great memories and to let the work
of Lutheran expansion take care OF
itself the best way it can. There is
not in US that heroic enthusiasm for
the truth as it is embodied in the
Lutheran Church which was in Luther
and the Lutherans of the Reformation
period. Our chief concern has not
been so much for Lutheran expansion
in, America, as rather to establish
without any peradventure who are
true and genuine Lutherans.
While we have been thus preoccupl-
ed, not always in the most brotherly
spirit, with questions of lesser I'M
portance, the Roman Church which,
as Cardinal Gibbons has said, "knows
it's own mind" has been, and is, man.
ifesting great enterprise, activity, en-
ergy and also vindictiveness in some
quarters. This Church is CONSOLIDATE
ing it's forces in the United States,
and is looking to the development OF
organization. It makes larger use
of lay workers, and is greatly
strengthening the hands Of the
knights of Columbus and the Nation
al Council of Catholic men. The
growing activities of the Knights OF
Columbus (they now claim 100000
members) comprise greatly increas-
ed building projects, the establishing
in Washington of college for the
sole purpose of training leaders for
the K. c., strong publicity program,
and the introduction of new policies
in their religious work. With their
slogan, "America first!" they COM
bine a. world policy of the proudest
kind.
In, view of these activities of the
Roman Church in America, what is
the Church of Luther doing to retain
it's position in the heart of its people
and in the life. of the nation? Is it
not high time. that we forget our
petty differences, that which constitu-
tes but so many labels, and begin to
look in earnest to the union Of our
forces that we may make our Church
the power. it should be, considering

COTTON CLOSE IS
 AT SLIGHT GAIN

NEW YORK, Dec. "A sharp opening advance met further liquida- tion in the cotton market today but the offerings were much less active than recently and after selling off from 35.25c to 34-S0c. March contracts closed at 3504c. The general mar ket closed steady at net advances of 35 to 51 points.
 The opening was steady at an ad- vance of 30 to 70 points. and the ac- tive positions sold 50 to 6s points net higher during the early trading on more en- couraging Liverpool cables, covering and rebuying. This carried the price of December up to 35.40c and May to 3545c, but at these figures there seemed to be considerable cotton for sale Prices eased off in consequence and at one time during the middle of the afternoon were within ID 10 2S points of yesterdays closing quo tations, owing to talk of less ac- tive trade demand and evening up for over tomorrow's ginning figures. December sold off to 3oc and May to 3494c, but scattering liquidation seemed to have been absorbed around these figures and there were rallies of some 20 to 25 points from the low est in the late trading. Another pri- vate crop report was issued estimat-
  was without any apparent effect on the market Private cable advices from Liverpool said that the urged liquidation appeared to have run US course in that market and according to some of these reports the outcome of the British elections was expect ed to react favorably on t.e cotton industry Other reports said the re- suits of the election was disappoint- ing but Liverpool made very steaoy showing and houses with Liverpooi connections were credited with buy ing here at times during the morn ing. Fall River sales Of print cloths for the week were estimated at 100000 to 10000 pieces. There was bullish comment on the week end figures. which showed spinners takings of 399,714 bales for the week, compared with 3S9,261 last year, which probably aided the late raily, Port receipts for the day were oo,tli bales.

Np,y YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANs COTTON

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 7.-While the cotton market stood at net advances throughout the session today, the main exhibition of strength was made in the early trading Thereafter there was more or less of tendency toward moderate reactions with the widest sags in the late trading, when holders of long contracts were letting go, apparently in preparation for the census bureau report on ginnings. which is due on the opening tomorrow. Here the list showed net gains of but to Is points. with January down to 34.30c a pound. The last sales of the day were at net gains of 28 to Al points, the last transaction in January being at 34.64c.i
 Soon after the opening the market was at it's highest. showing gains of 5S to 64 points. This rise was based almost wholly on the strength of the Liverpool market. English election returns appeared to be a puzzle to traders on both sides of the water. and while some private cablegrams claimed that the election had gone favor ably. so fa- cotton was concerned, other messages claimed exactly the opposite.
