LUTHERAN CHURCH
GAINS DISCLOSED
Prediction OF Downfall OF
United America Move
ment Defeated

A denial of the often repeated
assertion that the church is losing
its influence" was expressed yester-
day by the Rev. DR.. Walter H.
GreeVer, secretary of the United
Lutheran church in America, when
he released a report of substantial
gains made by the United Lutheran
church during 1899. Final tabula-
ton OF the statistics of the church
have just been completed.
These figures are "a concrete evil
dence that those who for many
years have predicted the downfall
OF the church are mistaken, said
Dr.. Greever. while it is true that
some churches have neglected their
real mission which is to teach the
word OF God. those churches which
have not neglected or forSaken their
duty are steadily extending their
influence" he declared.
DR.. Growers report indicated that
confirmed membership of the
United Lutheran Church increased
by 2 percent, gain of 22,242 men,
EerS for a total of 1,175,516. There
was also a marked increase in bap-
tized membership. A net gain OF
1925, which brings the total to
l,658,6l0, was registered in 1889
Favorable also was the report on
Indebtedness, which decreased by
nearly 5 per cent during the year.
Debts OF all the congregations and
the 81 synods of the Church now
total Sl9,3O6,975, a decrease of $751;
251. The value of all the Churchs
property totals $155 ,297 1868.
The secretary's report also indi-
Gated that the Church grew by 10
congregations, bringing the total to
1880 being served by 1886 pastors,
a gain of 10.
An increase which DR.. Greever
characterized as phenomenal" was
that in the number of students pre-
pairing for the ministry. A gain of
more than Is per cent was indicated.
In 1889 there were 622 which was
81 more than the previous year. Be-
cause of the expanding programs
of the Church this will not result
In an oversupply, said DR.. Greever.
Total expenditures of the Church,
including expenditures of all con-
gregations, synodical offices, boards
and agencies. rose by more than 3
per cent to $17,390,71O. DR.. Greever
pointed out that this increase in
costs is also a favorable evidence
OF the Church's vigor because it

WindsOrs' Wedding Pastor, Puzzled
By Cool American Reception, Plans
Comeback With 'De-Oomphing' Girls
Nv NEA Service

BY NEA Service
The pulpitless parson Of Darling
ton, who attained brief fame by
marrying the Duke Of Windsor and
Wallie Simpson, is now out to de
oomph the oomph girl and spiritual
lie the screen.
Rev. Robert Anderson Jardine,
who lost his job with the Church
of England because of the disap-
proved wedding at Monts, has found
rough shedding lin the United States.
The Duke of windsor has done
nothing for him. His church is
through with him. And America, by
and large, has been indifferent.
Rev. Jardine and his wife are
thwarted and baffled by the GOODNESS
of their reception.
Now the reverend hopes to make
a movie which will attack indecency
and give the movies spirituality in
place of sex appeal. In various Cit
les he has been picking ethereal
faced young women to compete for
a leading role in his projected pic
ture. He hopes it will give American
youth a new kind of spiritual her
Dine" and Gin delicate way bring
out the pitfalls in the way of young
people"
Though barred by his church
from holding a regular pulpit, Rev.
Jardine is qualified to conduct
weddings, and in Hollywood scores
of altar-bound couples have sought
the services of the man who def1ed
his ecclesiastical supervisors to unite
a kig and a commoner.
Many of his wedding services
have been solemnized at the Hol-
lywood Wedding Chapel, an institu-
ton much favored by out-of-town-
erS who for some reason wish to
be married in Hollywood.
Much time has been spent in
writing, mostly on religious subjects,
but the movie scenario was also
also evolved there. Its material
hackers are unknown.
The JardineS, though their own
fortunes have not been blooming
recently took into their modest
Hollywood home a theatrical as
pirant who chose to live in Jail
rather than in shame.
Gentle and without bitterness.
Rev. Jardine has said little of the
persecution" which seems to have
followed him across the Atlantic.
but he is known to feel that it is
less than Christian.

I. Y. A. Profit Is Denied
By Representative May

Representative May, Democrat, Of
Kentucky, in statement released
today. charged that the Tennessee
Valley Authority "is no more worthy
of trust and faith"
The statement was a 2,600-word
telegram sent by the Representative,
long foe of T. v. A.. to several
newspapers. He said he was trying
to correct impressions made by the
T. v. A. annual report, released Sum
day.
He said articles on +. V. A. gave
the impression the agency is earning
a profit. This, he charged, is not
borne out by facts.
Mr.. May declared there were "ele-
ments which blacken the pretty pic
ture designed for public consumption
by T. v. A. word painters.
He charged first that the T. v. A.
had driven many private power COM
panies out of business, thus costing
the Government millions" which
would have been paid by these COM
panies in taxes.
His second accusation was that the
T. v. A. paid no interest on the
money received from the Govern
ment. BY failing to pay interest, and
by destroying tax revenue, the T. v.
A. is short $3,6O0,OO0 annually in
what it owes the Federal Treasury"
he charged.
The third element of dishonesty"
he said, lay in the T. V. A. write
offs" to flood control and navigation.
which he termed the basic fraud"

Plenty of dogs turned out for the

The enthusiasm of the son convinced

ment rocked the rejecting pool.

The costumes were varied to say
the least. The girl who showed up
in an abbreviated pair of shorts had
many more or less modest followers.
It seems that Hollywood stars have
set styles not entirely practical in
this vicinity. Not few TASKS were
produced to keep temperatures up to
normal.
The tragedy of the whole occasion
occurred when one solid citizen, who
wishes to remain anonymous, Stun
bled and thought he was sitting
down on the ice.
He landed on his hip flask.

Republican National Committee
Chairman John D. M. Hamilton to-
day announced the Republican
party's 1886 debt of $1267, 900 had
been reduced to $685., ,213 as a result
OF funds raised during the last three
years and that the existing deficit
would be eliminated entirely dur
ing the next few weeks"
The funds raised during this
period, he said, had been obtained
without any patronage or method of
collection other than the patriotic
interest of those who made the
solicitations.
I'm approximately the last six
weeks, as a result of concentrated
effort on the part of loyal men and
women who believe in the payment
Of debts and the perpetuatlon OF
the two-party system, substantially
$5OO,000 more has been pledged" !"
Chairman Hamilton said.
A total of 10000 persons have
contributed funds to the Republican
National Committee, he estimated.
Mr.. Hamilton pointed out that l8
Governors, 23 Senators and 164
House members are Republicans, as
compared with 8 Governors, Is Sen
ators and 80 members Of the House
after the 1896 election.
