NEW YORK. February ia
statement asserting that the synodical
conference of the Lutheran Church
believes that the Volstead act should
he obeyed but lis out of sympathy
with the prohibition act was issued
today by Prof. Theodore Graebner,
editor of the Lutheran Witness,
through the American Lutheran Pub
iicity Bureau of New York.
Prof. Graebner, who is a member
of the faculty of Concordia Seminary.
and whose publication is the ofiicini
organ Of the Missouri synod. cited
Martin Luther. John Knox. John
Wesley and other leaders of the
reformation as drinkers of wine and
beer. He asserted that the insist
ence of some churches on total alb
stinenCe is a reversal on this point
OF historic Professionalism" but added
that the Lutheran church believed
the prohibition law should be obeyed.
While solidly ranked on the side
of law enforcement. the statement
continued. the Lutheran Church is
out Of sympathy with the prohibition
act and with the entire type of legis-
lation which II represents. The
Lutheran Church holds that every
thing not forbidden in Scripture is
permitted. The churches which have
put over prohibition through the
political organization. the Anti Sai ioon
League. hold that nothing is permit
ted unless specifically authorized III
the Bible.
These churches furthermore look
upon the state as the secular
arm Of the church, which shall en-
force obedience TO church regulations
by the poliCeman's billy and hand
cuffs. The kingdom of God. accord
ing to these churches, is not peace
and JOY in the Holy Ghost. but is
meat and drink to be regulated by
the police authorities"

should omit nothing that might hold

been placed in his hands with re
quest that he do what he could. The

day Yesterday he presented the plea
to Justice Stone, with a like result.
Then, as the members of the court
were assembling for their daily con-
ference in chambers, he met Justice
Brandeis in a corridor and again was
refused.
Only an hour remained before the
time set for the execution in San

risked a last resort. He cleared a

any last minute respite might not ar
rive too late, and then entered the
council chamber of the court and laid
the papers before the chief justice.
