The final report of the canvass for funds to equip Lutheran#chaplains in the Regular and National Armies, and to place camp pastors where needed, has been made. Zion contributed $1,750. one-fifth of the amount rais ed in Dauphin county. Pennsylvania raised over $1227,000, and the total contributed in the United States was j nearly $1,500,000. According to •arefully compiled statistics, the pro portion of Lutheran boys in the Army and Navy is larger than that of any denomination, hence the re sponsibility of co-operating with the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A., as well as the obligation to minister as only a church can, devolves heavily upon the Lutheran Church. MTTHKRAX Augsburg The Rev. A. M.
