DR. DUOS, AGAIN A
BISHOP. SERVES IN
MINISTRY 58 YEARS
Evangelical Churchman One of |
the Most Picturesque Charac- (
ters in the Country
Bishop Rudolph Dubs, of this city,
who has been honored once more by
the United Evangelical General Con
ference with election to the bishopric j
of that denomination, is one of the i
most picturesque ministers in this
city and State, If not in the I nited
States. .
On April 21. of this year, the Bishop
had been in the ministry just flftv
elght years. And throughout those
fifty-eight years he has built up a
reputation as a stirring orator, a man
of rare abilities and a noted theo
logian such as might be the envy of
any man.
Picturesque Career
Rudolph Dubs was born near
Wornes in the Palnhuate. Germany,
May 31. 1837. The family has the
history of the Dubs' family as far
back as the fourteenth century. At
that time their ancestors were among
the followers of Huss.
The young Rudolph came to this
countrv with his father In the Fall of
1852. His mother died the first night
they were on the vessel, sailing from
Havre. France, to New York.
Father and son went to Stephenson
countv. Illinois, about thirteen miles
north of Freeport, where some old
acquaintances from Germany had set
tled. . .
In the old home the system of pub
lic training and instruction was di
vided into three schools, the highest
one answering to our high school. The
subject of this sketch absolved ail
thfpp., A few weeks after the family s
arrival here. Rudolph started in school
and as he had studied English in the
old country, got along well.
Religiously he was raised in the
United Protestant Church and taught
thr Heidelberg Catechism and con
firmed in that faith. After his
* version he united with the Evangeli
cal, to which he belongs now.
Into Wild Country
In the Fall of 1855 he became a
licentiate of the ministry and April
20, 1856, he was received by the Illi
nois Conference into the active minis
try and assigned to a large charge
near Freeport. In the Spring of 18a ■
he was sent across the Mississippi as
a missionary to labor among the Ger
mans of lowa. His mission was called J
Dubuque Mission, but it extended to
much territory. In 1858 he preached
regularlv at Cedar Rapids, Lisbon,
Otter i'reek. Brandon, Independence.
Under his supervision the Evangeli
cal Church at Independence was erect
ed, which was the second of the de
nomination in lowa. Next year he
was sent to Grandview, the oldest and
best charge in lowa. The Spring of
1860 was an important epoch in his
life. All the missions west of the
Mississippi in lowa, Minnesota, Ne
braska, Missouri and Kansas were
originated into a separate annual con
ference. He was sent to Kansas to
look up the Germans. With horse and
buggy he made his way through lowa
and Missouri to Humblodt, Kansas.
No missionary had been sent hither
by the church. The border war was
raging. The fight was to make Kansas
a free State. Here he helped with
General, afterwards Senator, Lane,
Colonel Montgomery, the famous John
Brown and others. This was the year
of great drought. A large sum of
money and much provision were sent
which hp distributed among the needy
settlers regardless of name or church
fellowship.
Stayed Out of Politics
He could have had the nomination
to the Legislature, was urged by Gen
eral Lane and others to enter the po
litical field, but remained a simple
minister of the Gospel. He built the
church in Humboldt, the first church
of his denomination in Kansas. The
following year he was stationed in
Leavenworth, Kas. Here he erected
the second church of his denomination
in Kansas.
In the Spring of 1862 he was elect
ed as traveling agent by the trustees
of the proposed college at Plainfield,
111. The second year he was made
general agent. He labored very suc
cessfully so that the college was given
a fine start.
In 1864 he resigned after having
been unanimously elected general
agent. He was next chosen presiding
elder and stationed on Des Moines dis
trict. This comprised a large terri
tory, over which he traveled by horse
and buggy. His self-denial was very
great. He had a number of remark
able escapes from death during this
period of his career.
By his literary productions he at
tracted the attention of the leading
men of the church, so that at the Gen
eral conference held In Pittsburgh
in 186 7 he was elected sole editor or
the Christliche Botschafter. the Ger
man organ of the church, the oldest,
larerest and at that time the most
widely circulated Protestant religious
paper in the country. He was re
elected ir> 1871. Under bis editorship
the Bot.- -fter increased about 8,000
In its circulation.
Bishop at 38
eight years' literary service in
hi 6 position as editor, the General
Conference In Philadelphia in 1875
elected htm bishop at the age of 38.
In this capacity he served the church
twenty-seven years. A law of -the
church prevented his further re-elec
tion in 1902. He is now editor of the
Zeitschrift and preaches as often as
Ills other duties permit. He was a
member of General Conference since
1863 and identified with missionary
and educational interests. In connec
tion with Mr. Morris Seminary, in Illi
nois, and the Seminary of the Cove
nanter Presbyterian at Grandview,
lowa, he enjoyed further educational
advantages. By private arrangement
he took the theological course of Lane
Seminary. His intimate relations with
the famous Chrlstlleb of the Univer
sity of Bonn and other theological
professors of the schools of Germany
led him into the realm of theology
nnd sognate studies. There Is no Ger
man theology of note with which he is
not acquainted. Of the older German
divines. Dr. Lauge, the famous author
of a great work of Christian dog
matics, whom he knew personally, ex
erted the greatest influence upon him.
Among the English-American divines
he holds that the sainted Dr. t'harles
Hodge has produced the profoundest
work on systematic theology. Of
course, he Is devoted to Arminian the
ology. as that in its principle teach
ing. is the doctrine of his 'church.
Small wonder It Is, In view of these
things, that the opinion of Bishop
Dubs Is eagerly sought in all matters
relating to church finance, expansion
or theology.

LUST SUPPER IS
: SUM'S LESSON
Pledge and Promise of the New
Day When All His Own Shall
Gather at the Feast
The International Sunday School lies- !
son For October 11 is "The La«t j
Supper"—Mark 14:12-25
(By William T. Ellis)
Painter and poet and preacher!
have drawn great pictures of this j
little company of men gathered In an
upper room for a Jewish feast, that j
was later turned into a memorial j
supper for the Leader who was about
to leave them.
No pen or brush or voice has ever
been able—-perhaps the task Is im
possible—to picture that same sup
per as it has been repeated countless
millions of times since around the
whoel world, under conditions scarcely
to be imagined. This is one of the
tremendous institutions of civilization.
It is vitally associated with the deep
est experiences of the human soul.
The Feast of All Races
In my own limited experience I
recall having kept this Memorial
Feast in many places, and In many
unusual circumstances. I have knelt
in the early morning on a historic
battlefield with a company of men in
uniform, and received the bread and
wine from the regimental chaplain.
While a storm raged at sea, I have
knelt aboard ship—clutching a sup
port the while—sharing the same Sac
rament with travelers from many
lands. In great assemblages, when
leadership in learning, piety and
wealth from the whole nation were
massed, I have been thrilled by the
Sacrament of fellowship; but not more
so than when I have partaken of it
in crude village churches. I recall sac
ramental services in remote Chinese
chapels; with dusky Indian disciples
under the shadow of the Taj Mahal;
with a great body of Egyption stu
dents in a church far up the Nile;
and with fellow Japanese Christians
in their pewless churches, where the
whole worshiping company sat on
the floor.
The common imagination has "been
moved by the recent spectacle of
great masses of soldiers, who were
going into battle, gathered to par
take of the Communion. Similarly,
a strange solemnity is attached to
the administration of the Sacrament
on battleships before action. The
long and immeasurable processions
of celebrations of the Lord's Supper
by all races and classes of people, in
every imaginable condition of stress
and need, met to partake with their
Lord of this Last Supper, which He
instituted on the night before He
went forth to die, is a tremendous
theme for contemplation.
He That Is About to Die
The setting of this lesson could
not be more dramatic. Its remote
background Is the three years of
public ministry of Jesus, with all
the antagonisms which His utter
ances had aroused. The near back
ground was the Jewish Passover. As
true Jews, Jesus and His disciples
kept that feast in ceremonial fash
ion.
A large upper room in the home
of some Jerusalem friends had been
secured for the occasion; and the
tenderest imagination of Christen
dom often turns to that room, where
were spoken those loving farewells
of Jesus, whicn have echoed as words
of comfort through all the centuries
since.
The full company of twelve were
preesnt with their Master for the
Passover. Then Judas withdrew to
do His dread deed of avarice. It
seemed as If a pall were lifted from
the company when this discordant
personality was removed. Then it
was that Jesus opened His heart, and
in tenderest, most human and com
rade-like fashion instituted the Last
Supper, a feast which Judas never
shared.
The rite could hardly he simpler.
The common flat cakes of bread,
broken by the hand of fhe Host, and
the common wine shared by all, were
the only elements used.
"And as they were eating. He took
bread, and when He had blessed, He
brake It, and gave to them, and said,
Take ye: this is my body. And He
took a cup, and when He had given
thanks He gave to them: and they
all drank of it. And He said unto
them, This is my blood of the new
covenant, which Is poured out for
many. Verily I say unto you, I shall
no more drink of the fruit of the
vine, . until that day when I drink it
new in the kingdom of God."
Lest We Forget"
Every gravestone the world over
is a token of the universal human
desire to be remembered after death.
All the massive mausoleums that
have survived for even a few de
cades. are eloquent with the same
eagerness. This desire is instinctive,
and, rightly expressed, may be an
Impulse to divinest living and min
istry.
The hungry, human heart of the.
Saviour shared this natural Impulse.
He wanted to abide in the memory
of His friends. His words at the
Last Supper might be translated 1 nt>>
common deathbed phrase. "Think Of
me when I am gone." This was a
memorial supper first of all. "This do
in remembrance of me." Every time
the Lord's Supper is spread, it say?,
"Remember Jesus Christ." We know
that the Christian life flourishes
only to the degree that Jesus abides
vividly within it.
The Old Era's End
The climax had come. This was
the hour of remembering. It was the
last time that Jesus ever ate a formal
meal with His comrades. Ho made
this the ceremonial ending of the old
order and relationships. Henceforth
He would no longer be a companion
in the flesh. His earthly work was
over. His last words to the people
had been spoken; there remained only
the intimate message for the fellow
ship to be uttered in this room to the
men who had leaned upon Him,
learned of Him. followed Him, and
partaken of His personality.
Thenceforth Jesus was to be all
this, and more, to His friends, but
only in a spiritual sense. As this
new Supper symbolized, they were
henceforth to partake of His life and
to be sustained by Him in the spirit.
The lord's Supper Is the abiding
token of Christ's desire to minister
forever to His own.

IS CHURCH fi
ATTENDANCE "n P
INCREASING? !]
You may have asked yourself this question. If you have it was
but natural. For in these days of new creeds; new thoughts; and a seem
ing increase of worldliness you might naturally ask yourself what position
the church occupies.
The church for centuries has stood as the most potent institution
of the world. It is Divine Ordination that so long as time lasts —so she will
stand. Wars have been carried on against the church—attempts have
been made to crush her religion. The people killed her founder as they
killed many of His disciples. Death but made their faith immortal---for
during nineteen centuries the Christian faith has been steadily gaining
in power.
Are more people going to church to-day than before? Yes. In
two denominations alone last year the increase in membership was over
fifty thousand.
All of these fifty thousand men and women who became church
members just "went to church" before they joined the Christian faith.
But by going to church they saw the need of the Divine influence in their
lives. And they acted accordingly—they became church members.
It isn't necessary to be a church member to attend church services.
Every church extends the invitation to you to attend its services regard
less of whether you have ever been in a church before. But one thing is
certain. You will not be able to attend church services for long before
you realize the need of the Divine in your life. And you too, will act ac
cordingly—you will become a church member.

"In like manner we would like to im
press tne iact upon all of our fellow
citizens that the impending crisis of
the hour demands that every man must
do his dutv. It is important to hear in
mind that the usefulness of every citi
zen Is measured by the interest he
takes in civic affairs. In demanding
certain rights and protection from the
government we must not be unminorui
that our demands entail a correspond
ing duty—a corresponding obligation,
and unless we perform faithfully and
efficiently our obligation to the State
and the community in which we live
we are no better than the government
we complain against, and the govern
ment has equal complaint against us.
The best demonstration of an Individu
al's fitness for citizenship Is the Inter
est he manifests in civic matters. Un
less he is awakened to his civic obli
gations so that he feels and bears a part
of the civic responsibility devolving up
on every other citizen, he Is not worthy
of the fights and protection .if a free
Constitution. The right to VO»P was
regarded bv our fathers as a precious
heritage. Of late years, we. their off
springs. have allowed ourse es to be
come too thoughtless, too indifferent,
too careless nbout preserving this herit
age. And through our carelessness and
Indifference a Democratic President
won his way to the White House In
Washington, T>. P.. and unless we use
good Judgment by standing together as
a race and for the race's Interest the
White House Twins, with their clique,
will uphold the dread administration

means that deplorable signs, 'This Is
For Colored People,' will appear In pub

ago when Mr. Hart was pastor of a
little mission church in Huntingdon,
the young college president and teach
er frequently preached for him. and
young Hart In return conducted
chapel exercises at the college, and
otherwise assisted the overworked
teacher. Their residences were with
in a stone's throw of each other and
when the educator was called to wider
spheres of influence and the preacher
assigned by the rules of his church to
another field, their exchanges of cour
tesies and good will continued through
the years.
Careful arrangements have been
made by the church authorities so that
all who desire to hear these distin

the r,e-election of President Wilson In
