ZION OUTBREAKS
 IN ANNIVERSARY
Appropriate Services To Be Held Local Church
 Today

Zion Lutherans will observe their an l 1ual dedication anniversary Sunday Il with appropriate services at 10 a. m and at 6 p. m. The Rev. Henry Meyer of Cullman, Ala. is expected to fill the pulpit at the evening worship. Rev III. Reuter-, pastor of the Zion Lutheran church since 1911, will deliver the morn 1 ing sermon Holy Communion will be administered at both services.
 October F is red letter day in the history of this congregation, for it was on this day that not only the present house of worship, corner Avenue B and l Nineteenth street, but also the original church building at Elyton, was dedi' cated. The latter event took place in 1889, the Rev. c. k. Scheibe officiating The present house of worship was erect ed in 1902
 The local Zion Lutheran cOngrega- tion is affiliated with the synod of Mis- souri, organized in 1874, at Chicago H., with 12 congregations, numbering about 5000 souls. Dr. c. F. w. Wal ther of St. Louis, Mo. was chosen as its first president. Small in member ship, poor in worldly goods, the newly founded Missouri synod had little prom ise of success. Yet it began to expand. In 1875 the congregations numbered '704, with 107,OOO souls. Seminaries, colleges, church periodicals, publishing house, etc., had been founded and flour ished. Then came times of conflict and trouble. Great struggles were fought between the Missouri synod and other Lutheran bodies on questions of doc Urine, especially on the great question of s'conversion." Nevertheless Missouri forged ahead. In 1900 the number of congregations had grown to 2,147, com prising 728,O00 souls, served by 1,581 ministers. The latest available statis- tics (1923) give the following figures B,171 ministers, 3,45S congregations, l. 605,025 souls, it is stated.
 From the beginning Missouri synod Lutherans have been active along mis- eionary lines. Today their missions, ex- tend to Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Brazil, Argentina, England, France, Germany, Denmark, India; China. In the United States alone the gospel is being pro- claimed by this synod's missionaries in no less than 15 different languages.
 The Rev. H. c. Schwan of Cleveland Ohio, served the synod as president from 1878 to 1899. His successor was ,Dr. F. Pieper, president of Concordia seminary, St. Louis, Mo. The present head of the synod is Dr. F. PfOten- hauer of Chicago, Ill.

 It doesn't take an expert from the de- pertinent of agriculture to know what happens to wheat sOwn on the surface on the rocky, flinty side of red hill that wouldn't sprout peas" or even the strip of ground allowed to be taken by brambles, thistles, johnson grass, or crab grass, for the matter of that.
 The Master meant to teach-nay, he taught that the wheat was the same in each case. That it was the nature and character of the ground which re- ccived it tht made the difference.
 Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, speaking from the above text very fOrcefully and fittingly said
 AS you pass out to individual work, teaching in the Sunday school, speaking amid the needy men and women of the age, whatever it may be, never forget that whenever you win man, woman or little child to the word of the Kinkdom, you are planting another seed in the age, and preparing for the harvest which is yet to be. Every one of us who has heard the word, and who un- derstands it and Obeys it, is part of the Kings influence, and every soul we win is another seed planted for the final harvest of his Kingdom"

1. And again he began to teach by the sea side. And there is gather ed unto him a very great multitude, so that he entered into boat, and sat in the sea and all the multitude were by the sea on the land.

 4. And it came to pass, as he sowed, some seed fell by the way side, and the birds came and de- voured it.

EINSTElN is UPHELD BY
SPECTRUM EXPERIMENTS

CHICAGO, April 2S.-The third
prediction in the general theory of
RELATIVELY advanced by Einstein has
been confirmed by results obtained
by DR.. c. Z. st. John, solar physi-
cist. working at the Mount Wilson
Observatory, Pasadena, Cal, accord
Ing to word received by relatives
here.
DR.. st. John said that he found
that solar spectrum lines submit to
a gravitational displacement to the
degree predicted by Einstein, who
held that the theory stood or fell
according as the displacement ex.
listed or not.
This third effect predicted by
Einstein, the gravitational displace.
ment Of solar spectrum lines, and
its proof or disproof,'. DR.. st. John
added, has been the center Of in
terest, because among mathematical
physicists whose opinions carry
great weight there has not been
complete agreement. These latest
results, which 1 have been able to
obtain at Mount Wilson, show that
it does exist in the amount pre-
dicted by him."
