NEWS OF PULPIT AND PEW IN HARRISBURG
LUTHERAN SYNOD
TO MEET IN JUNE
Evangelical Ministerium to
Consider Change in Con
stitution
Sessions for the eleventh time in
more than 150 years of the existence
of the Evangelical Lutheran Minister
ium and adjacent States will convene
Monday, June 12. in tlie Trinity Church,
of Heading.
Ilarrisburg churches to be represent
ed arc the Zion German, St. Michael's
German and Holy Communion. Respec
tive pastors of those congregations are
are Revs. 11. F. F. I.lsse, Reinholdt
Schmidt and J. H. Miller.
The first time the synod was en
tertained by the Reading congregation
was in 1770, when the congregation
was about 20 years old and the synod
had been In existence for twenty-two
years. The building in which the
church body will hold its sessions this
year was erected in 1794 and was dedi
cated in connection with the forty
seventh convention of the minister
ium.
Oldest I.utlirran lloil;
The Ministerium of Pennsylvania.
■ lating its organization from 1748, is
ihe oldest Lutheran synod in Amer
•a and is composed of congregations
mattered throughout ir<astern Penn
• ylvanla, New Jersey und Delaware,
with a group of foreign mission
iiurches in Ra.iahmundry, India. For
dmlnlstratlve purposes it is divided
nto ton conferences. Nine of these are
located In America and their combined
forces comprise 348 parishes, with 575
congregations, served by 374 pastors,
with a membership of 180,000.
There are 557 Sunday schools, enroll
ing 225,000 teachers, officers and pupils.
The congregations raised over $1,000,000
for current and special expenses during
1915 and over $200,000 for the mis
sionary and benevolent operations of
the church. This synod raises about 48
pr cent, of all the missionary funds
expended by the boards of the gen
eral council of the Lutheran Church in
North America.
Mn> Clinngc Constitution
The coming sessions bid fair to be
of epoch making character for more
than one reason. An entire new con
stitution is to be presented for con
sideration. It may be several years
before Its final adoption. It is pro
posed to elect a salaried president who
shall give his entire time to the duties
of the office, a complete departure from
the former practice of the body. Specu
lation is rife as to the probable per
sonality of the first encumbent of this
special office.
Equally interesting and absorbing
will be the plans of the synod's parti
cipation in the great celebrations of
the 400 th anniversary of the Protestant
reformation, which.will occur in 1917.
The present officers of the minis
terium are: President, the Rev. John A.
N. Haas, D. D., I.L D., president of
Muhlenberg College; English secre
tary, the Rev. W. L Stough, Philadel
phia; German secretary, tlie Rev. H. D.
E. Siebott, Phllade)phla; treasurer, the
Rev. is. A. Weller, Orwlgsville.

BISHOP TELLS OF
WARRING NATIONS
Declares Conflict Has Brought
Nations of Europe to
Their Knees
Saratoga Springs. N. Y„ May 20.
A commanding figure of interest at the i
general conference of the Methodist |
Episcopal Church. In session here, is
Bishop John Nuelsen, who supervises!
(Methodist work in European nations.;
speaking sixteen languages and ruled
over by three emperors, five kings and
I two presidents.
I Bishop Nuelsen has visited every war
front and gives amazing testimony of
' the misery of the men in the Held, strip
ping off the brass buttoned glory of
war, and picturing the desolation and
sacrifice of the people of all the lighting
, nation?.
in an Interview he said: "The war.
must continue many years unless the
! unexpected happens. Germany bus
completely conserved her energies. In
peace times she raises eighty per rent.
> of-all her food ami now the parks are
j turned into gardens. The surgeons
j have wrought miracles and ninety per
■.ent. of the wounded recover.
I "Economy is systematically enforced,
j Prince and pauper receive the same
'amount of bread, butter and milk daily,
i A census of all the copper in the land
I —even in pots and pans—has been made
(and it is under control. Chemists have j
1 found a way to substitute paper and j
! rags for rotton. When the husband'
gots lo war his wife takes up his work
and receives his wages.
I "Why did the Germans go into this i
i war?" the bishop was asked. "The
] people blame the Kmperor for not
j lighting quicker, since thty believe that
I the other powers were jealous of their
I prosperity and had determined to
i crush them.
I "The war has brought all the Euro- ]
pean nations to their knees. It has
I driven formal religion down Into the!
! hearts and developed a vital personal
piety never before known. At the llrst ]
sweep of the war there was a religious
i revival, but that was shallow. The]
later awakening is very deep and per
] manent. They see now that in the
■ pursuit of prosperity they forgot God.
This ought to be a warning to Anier
j lea."

Ex-President Taft in his letter dr
i hues that the present war has eiml

j The present war followed this period.
"The best thinking of the world, an
well as all the lessons of history, i.idi
: oatc that the only method by which
| the dangers of war can be practically
| eliminated is by substituting law for
j wai among nations just as we
substituted lav.' for war among indi
i viduals within the nations.
"The United Stales is to-day in es

in a frontier town. It is our duty to
suggest and stand ready to join aW"ln
ternational vigilance committee, in
which the nations of the world shall
join in saying that they will use their

; any nation with a grievance to submit
its difficulty to an international court
