LUTHERANS CONVENE FOR
18TH NATIONAL MEETING
President Knubel Says Church
Is United "NOw as Never
Before"

DR.. Frederick H. Knubel, New York,
president of the United Lutheran
church in America, opened the groups
18th biennial convention at Baltimore
last night with the assertion 81 believe
the United Lutheran church is truly
united now as never before. :"
DR.. Knubel sounded the convention
keynote of unity of fellowship in
christian faith and life" in his sermon
at the opening communion service. In
the solemn procession opening the
service, were clerical officers of the
church, DR.. Knubel, DR.. Walter H.
Creever, church secretary, and the
presidents of the thirty-four synods.
81 appeal for the unanimous will to
unite among u.s." DR.. Knubel said to
the $50 delegates from all sections of
America. There never was time
when our unity was more needed than
now.
81 appeal especially to all our pas
tors, beseeching them to tell mems
weary souls chiefly what God has done
and is willing to do for them"
The duty of the United Lutheran
church, he asserted, is "to rid our
selves of any state of mind that finds
more pleasure in disagreeing with
other Lutherans than in agreeing with
them"
Church officials, commenting on the
theme of unity, pointed out that the
American Lutheran church whose
headquarters are at Columbus, Ohio,
will send a representative to the con-
vention to express the hope that prog
ress toward unity may continue. The
two churches recently had series of
negotiations on the subject.

MT. TOP PREPARING TO
WELCOME EXCURSIONISTS
More Than 500 Members Of Bal
timOre Booster Club Will Ar
rive Here Sunday About 1890
CITIZENS DONATING CARS

Oakland residents and citizens liv-
ing nearby are preparing to give Bal
timore excursionists a warm well
come when they come here on Sun
day, October 8, for the final train trip
of the year, sponsored by the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad in cooperation
with the Mayor and Town Council.
This final excursion of 1888 will
carry only members of the Baltimore
Booster Club, and several weeks ago
the railway company seased selling
tickets, as more than 500 persons had
applied for transportation. The Off
Gals feared that it would be impossi-
BILE for Oakland citizens to care for
more than that number of people, as
the thirty-mile tour through this area
will be made in private automobiles of
citizens of the community.
This will be by far the largest
group of excursionists to come to
Oakland in recent years, and deter
mined effort is being made, not only
by town officials, but by those who
will drive the automobiles on the tour
to make the visit a pleasant one.
This will be the third excursion to
this section to show Baltimore and
Washington people the beauties of the
mountain top and interest them in
spending their vacations here.
A special feature of the tour on
Sunday will be visit to the Swallow
Falls CCC camp, when the dedication
of the new educational building re-
Gently erected on the reservation, will
take place.
Upon arrival at Swallow Falls the
excursionists will be met by guides
who are members of the 304th Com
pany, CCC, and will be shown the
camp, the sights of the Swallow Falls
State forest, and then taken on tour
of inspection of the new building. Of
fcials at the camp have made plans
to furnish refreshments in the mess
hall during the tour. Captain Isimin-
ger, in command, has also extended
an invitation to the general public of
Oakland and of the county to visit
Swallow Falls on Sunday.
The excursionists are expected to
arrive at the Oakland station about
1890, as railroad officials are plan
ming to make the run in less time than
formerly, as the train will not go into
the Washington station at all. The
entire expense of the trip is costing
each individual from Baltimore the
sum of $6.45.
The excursionists will be met at the
Oakland station by the Mayor and his
party. Mickey's Band Of Mountain
Lake Park and Loeb Lynn will play
several numbers and then the visitors
will begin the tour of the Tableland.
Among those coming on the eX-
cursion are Mr. Charles Potter, vice
president and general manager of the
Baltimore City street railway system,
and Mrs. Potter.
