5000 LUTHERANS
AT VALLEY REUNION

Five thousand Lutherans from so
congregations in the Shenandoah VAL
ley and adjacent sections gathered
at the Shenandoah Caverns in fifth an
nual reunion Thursday. They enjoyed
a great outing and elaborate picnic
dinner, visited the caverns, sang old
hymns, and heard two able addresses,
by DR.. j. A. Morehead, of New York,
and DR.. R. E. Golladay, of Columbus.
Ohio.
DR.. Morehead who has just returned
from tour of Europe as repre-
sentative OF the National Lutheran
Council, reviewed conditions over
there. particularly with reference to
Russia and Germany. He told of the
sad plight of the churches in Russia,
the Soviet government forbidding the
entrance of churchmen into the coun-
try and driving out many of the clergy
already there. This general disregard
OF the church was declared by DR..
Morehead to be largely responsible for
the bad state of affairs in Russia.
In Germany, DR.. Morehead said there
is great activity in building up the
church institutions. Which was
halted by the World War. The
combined denominations, he said, are
having hard time fighting atheism
and outside influences.
H. B. Chapman, one of the owners
OF the caverns, welcomed the visitors
and Rev. L. L. Lohr, of Timbervillt
offered the opening prayer. Rev
Edgar z. Pence, of Massanutten, in
troduced DR.. Golladay, who spoke OIL
"The Harvest That Never Fails"
At noon, 500 automobiles wer,
counted on the grounds, while it il
estimated there were 1000 machine
here during the day. More than / 100
persons visited the caverns.
Rev. E. z. Pence, Manassas, A. C
Machir, Strasburg, and w. H. Tow
herman, Staunton, composed the com
mittee in charge OF the arrangements.
Col. H. J. Benchoff. OF Woodstock
led the singing, assisted by Mise
