HOOVER LUTHERAN
= MESSAGE UPHELD
Rev. WencheI Says Presi-
dents Greeting "Needs
No Defense"

President Hoover's act in sending a
message of greeting to members OF
the Lutheran denomination OF the
United States, which brought criticism
from. Rev. John j. Burke, secretary OF
the National Catholic Welfare Con-
ferer re was unheld today in state
ment by Rev. DR.. j. Frederic Wenchel,
pas,or VI the Christ Lutheran Church.
Father Burke had charged that
President Hoover violated the spirit, If
not the letter, of his oath OF office In
sending the message, which he con-
tended was IAN insult to many millions
of American citizens"
The statement of Father Burke that
Martin Luther was not "a champion OF
the separation of church and state"
today brought the following reply from
the Lutheran clergyman:
Says Greeting Needs No Defense"
"The greeting of President Hoover
TO the Lutheran Church on celebration
of the 400th anniversary OF the Augs-
burg Confession needs no defense.
eft sill depends on how narrowly we
understand the articles of the United
States Constitution. While many
Protestants were displeased that former
Presidents lTaft and Wilson,, al
though not Roman Catholics, attended
the Pan-Anerican mass on Thanks-
giving day which had an othclal
character, our Catholic fellow citizens
were greatly elated.
1T is not our purpose to enter into
any controversy nor to defend Martin
Luther where he erred, but to uphold
him where he was right. AS a matter
of fact the third paragraph OF article
% of the Augsburg Confession states
the principle of the separation OF
church and state very clearly in these
words:
Church, Civil Power Explained.
"'Therefore, the power Of the church
and the civil power must not be con-
founded. The power Of the church had
its own commission to teach the gospel
and administer the sacrament. Let 1t
not break into the office of another; let
it not transfer the kingdoms OF this
world; let it not abrogate the laws OF
civil rulers; let it not abolish lawful
obedience; let it not interfere with
Judgment concerning civil ordinances or
contracts; let it not prescribe laws TO
civil rulers concerning the form OF the
commonwealth. AS Christ saws, MY
kingdom is not Of this world. Who
made me a Judge or divider over
you?"'
Luther helped in the framing of this
historic document. = II took, OF course,
wears of struggle and work, suffering
and sacrifice until 1t was practically
realized in the Constitution OF the
United States"
