1.-THE General Synod"
The Toast 'sThe Lutheran Church"
was responded to by DR.. Morris,
who convulsed the company with
laughter by an energetic protest
against being made the object of
courtesies on account of his age.
His imitation of the conversation of
the people who spoke to him loudly
because they thought he was deaf,
was irresistably funny.
His plan of getting rid of these
loud takers was to sympathetically
inquire, l"Are you deaf?" 'FWhy do
you ask me that?" queries the stri-
dent voice. Because most all deaf
people think all others are deaf, !"
was his answer. DR.. Morris paid
his respects to the obliging souls
who volunteered to "help" him
down stairs and lean on his arm for
support, and who under pretense
of escorting him along the dark
sidewalks, availed themselves of
his superior sight He then fell into
a reminiscent mood and told about
Rev. Benjamin Kurtz, an early pas
tor of st. Johns, who, when the
making of whiskey was leading
industry and there were probably
so distilleries in Washington county,
was the first man who dared to adj
vocate the cause of temperance.
"OId st. Johns" was responded to
most eloquently by Dr. Owen; "Our
Host" by Hon. Amos Miller. Hills
boro, Ill, "Our Guests" by Rev.
Edwin Heyl Delk; "Our Lutheran
Young People," by Rev. F. D. Alt
man and Cornelius Eckhart, Wash
ington, D. c., and F. H. Wefer, New
York City.
Mr.. Altman's illustration of opti-
mism and pessimism was the best
story of the evening. Here it is:
One night two young frogs, one opti-
mistic and the other pessimistic, fell
into pan of cream. The pessimis-
tic frog, finding himself in strange
element, gave up, turned himself
over on his back and breathed his
last. The optimistic frog began a
vigorous kicking and spluttering
about, and kept it up all night. In
the morning he found himself sit
ting on top of two pounds of welli
churned butter
