LUTHERAN MERGER DETAILS QUTLINED [hree 0ld Synods Would Join, { With Unified Work : Under Plan. COLUMBUS, Oho, August 28— Plans for the merging of ‘three! Lutheran general bodies, maintaining a separate existence with its own, colleges and seminaries and engaging independently in both American and | foreizn missions, were laid before the | delegates attending the forty-eighth | regular convention of the Evangelical Lutheran Joint Synod, which is being held here this week in Christ Church, Bexley. The sessions yesterday were devoted ' to the serious consideration of this proposed amalgamation, whereby the | Buffalo Synod, founded 81 years ago; | the Towa Synod, founded 72 years | ago, and the Joint Synod, founded | at Somerset, Ohio, 108 years ago, will be united organically into one church body, to be called “Evangelical Luth- eran Synod of America.” Dr. W. E. Schuette of Sewickley, Pa secretary of the committee of experts representing the three Aynods“ read the constitution proposed for the | new body. \ To prevent overlapping and waste and to effect cconomy and efficiency in the new church body, it was agreed that there must be : merging of the | three synods’ educati nal institutions, | their orphans’ and oid folks' homes | and other institutions of mercy, their | American and foreign mission work, | their publication houses, their church papers, and many other hitherto in- dependently conducted enterprises. | This means that the seminary at St. Paul, Minn., will be discontinued: the new synod will maintain two rge seminarfes, one connection *with Capital University, Columbus, and the other at Dubuque, lowa. The insti- tution at St. Paul will then be raised to a standard junior college, taking the rank of Waverly Normal College, Waverly, lowa, and Hebron College, | Hebron, Nebr. Academles also will be maintained at Petersburg, W. Va.; Eureka, S. Dak., and Regina, Sas- katchewan. In the fleld of American missions all this work will be under the one | central board to be elected, with rep- | resentatives from the three present | synods. In the foreign fleld there will be| Joint control of the work now being conducted in India ameng the Telu- gus, and in New Guinea and Soum, “Africa.

BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON. The Ten Commandments sounded a new note in the religions of the world by uniting morality with spiritual reli- glon. Previous to the decalogue re- ligion was a personal matter between the individual soul and God. There was a demand for worship, but when Moses gave to the Hebrews the law it called for the union of three factors to make real religion—God, man and others. For centuries the message given to Moses upon the commanding heights of Mount Sinai has molded the lives of men, because its rules regulating man's relation to Jehovah and his fellows has had a deeper meaning. Underneath these com- mands was a vital principle, so that Christ summed all the law into one, “Thou shalt love.” A child does not always realize the heart of the parents spoken to them in a prohibition. Israel probably did not understand the fundamental principles that called for the ‘“ten words.” The laws re- lating to human relationships appear at first to be elementary, but they furnish the foundation of social, po- litical and moral life. Soclety would not exist long without the observ- ance of these ideal rules of conduct between men. If we interpret them as our Lord Jesus did in His sermon on the mount we will find them to be searching In their demands and comprehensive in their requirements. Basis of Society. = “The first command with promise’ called for men to “honor thy father: and thy mother.” The Hebrews have always given a high place to their home life. The people who set the old folks to one side and forget to honor them are doomed. The Rechab- ites have demonstrated the value of this commandment. China -has pre- served its place among the nations, because in that land the respect of one’s parents has become so embedded in their faith that they worship thelir ancestors. The New Testament has glven us the reason for this com- mand. There we learn of ‘“the Father from whom every fatherhood in heaven and on earth is named.” This teaches us that the relation be- tween a human parent and child is like the relation between God and man. It points out that our duty to our parents is a sacred privilege because “it is a perfect type and image of man’s duty to God: Our treatment of God is involved in our treatment of our parents. To honor them is to honor Him; to despise them is to despise Him." In giving the mother a place of equal honor with the father this com- mandment was a great advance over the religions of the ancient and pagan people, where the father was lord of the child and the mother his slave. God s no respector of persons, ac- cording to the New Testament; so that we can find the seed of the mod- ern movement for the emancipation of woman packed ,away in this com- mandment. This calls for every child to love his parents, reverence their authority, be obedient to them and support them when old age enfeebles themselves. Modern civiliztalon 1is breaking down right at this point. The fault cannot be wholly blamed upon the children, for the lack of re- spect and honor for a parent’s au- thority is due to the parental neglect to properly train the child. The neglect of family worship and lack of family discipline is responsible for much of the crime in our Inad. There are other factors. But a prominent dis- trict attorney has claimed that few criminlas come out from the homes “where the father insists that the child love, respect and obey its mother and the mother insists that the child love, respect and obey the father.” Criminal Law. The criminal code of Moses took special cognizance of all injuries to human life and to personal property. No ancient law ever placed such a high standard upon the value of hu- ‘man life, as this commandment pro- hibited the taking of life and all that endangers it. Man was created in the image of God, murder, being con- sidered the destruction of His image, was punished with death, because it was a sort of secondary violation of the first commandment. There was no possibility of securing a dif- ferent sentence. It could not be commuted into a fine or. imprison- ment for life. There was no escape from paying the penalty of murder. Although, in the case of man- slaughter, a refuge was provided during the investigation; “but delib- erate murder was always capitally punished, and in one instance, typi- cal, probably of a class, inexcusable carelessness which caused death was similarly treated. The manner in which they obeyed the command, “Thou shait not kill,” by punishing all offenders immedlatel,v, teaches us that by following, their example we would diminish the number of murders in our land. We can find the germs of our coroner's, inquest in the provisions that Moses made for the investigation of the cause of all deaths. Jesus taught that the real cause was not the deadly blow, but the angry passion which caused {t. Next to a man’s life was placed the sanctity of the home. The com- mand against the committing of adultery was almed at the protection of the purity of the home, which is the tap root of society. It condemns the double standard of life in its de- mands for purity in all the sexual relations, and every incentive that would tend in any manner to impair the sanctity of marriage. It pro- hibits evil thinking, for our Lord taught us that the impure look broke this command as much as the act itself. The heavy penalty of death is placed upon all gullty of violating this commandment, and we are as- sured that the adulterer shall not enter into the kingdom of God. The command, “Thou shalt mnot steal,” proclaims the sanctity of prop- erty. It recognizes the right of every man to obtain the result of his ef- forts and toll. He lives and helps de- velop industry, soclety and general prosperity by the correct use of his possessions. This commandment strikes at communistic teachings, which deny the rights of personal property and private ownership. Men may very easily break this law with- out knowing it, through their greed and desire for bargains. It forbids eraft. fraud and cheating by teaching that the taking of property of another | without giving a fair and equivalent value in exchange is robbery. It calls for the payment of an honest wage and the performance of an honest da; work. Theft was punished under the law by a double or fourfold resti- tution, and if one lacked the means of making such a return he could be sold iInto service for his stealing. A nocturnal robber might be slain as an outlaw. The application of the Chris- tian doctrine of stewardship goes over much ground that we are apt to over- look, not realizing how by acts al- lowed in accordance with modern business practices and commercial ap- proval, we are robbing ourselves, our fellowman, and God of what belongs to each, according to this command- ment. Every one that breaks this commandment not only robs others, —— e OTHER SERVICES. HALL MISSION 623 LA, AVE. N.W. Fer, the Promotion of Scriptura:-Holiness Sunday Servi P SRR R P ALL WELCOME, but also takes front his own life the peace of his own conscience and cor- rupts his personality. One has a right to the possession of something that is of more value than property, for that may be restored but not so if one destroys one's good name. The commandment, “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor,” seeks to uphold the sacred- ness of truth, which is the foundation of personal-character.. Although this commandment strikes at perjury in courts, which is quite prevalent in the Orient, it seeks to protect men from all forms of malicious slander, calumny and_ uncharitable construc- tions being placed upon the acts and habits of others by the repetition of false slander and injurious gossip. It upholds the scientific spirit, which seeks to know and publish only facts or truth. , When men disregard this commandment, they promote social disorder. , Source of Crime. The final commandment is the most searching one of the 10, yet no penalty is attached to its violation. It is the profoundest one of all con- tained in onr lesson, for it touches the very source, of all crime and the fountainhead of the violation of aM the commandments. While there is a difference il the objects of the in- ordinate desires set forth in Deuter- onomy from that in our lesson, the motive of the heart is identical. The former places “thy neighbor's wife” as of supreme importance, while in Exodus the house is placed first, and then the variows living things that the householder has collected about him follow. The man who vields to his desire for the possession of the things of his neéighbor is one who will trample upon all laws' to obtain his desire, because of his envy, jeal- ousy and hunger for another’s posses- sion and property. It is the source of every crime and unless the spirit of covetousness is curbed, corrected and controlled in our land, our country and civilization are doomed. “30d abhors covetousness. It dis qualifies one for church membeiship and will shut one out of heaven. It is condemned in many parts of the Bible, which teaches us that a covet- ous man is an idolater, who is as in- capable of loving God as he is of lov- ing hid neighbor. The cure of this secret sin can only be accomplished by a purification of the heart through effective, fervent prayer and by, a godly contentment. When we have learned how to govern our lives by the regulations of the law, we will find that it is only through the hun- ger and silent longing of the soul to do Christ’s will that we will come to love our neighbor in an unselfish spirit. The one whose heart is filled with fear, as was Israel's when they heard the law read, and proposes to set it aside and follow the Sermon on the Mount needs to remember that the Ten Commandments are still God's statutes and that Jesus pointed to thie heart as the source of murder and‘taught that an impure desire was adultery. He warned us to “Take heed and keep yourselves from all covetousness; for a man's life con- sisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.” It is only as we are constrained by the love of Christ that we can keep all the commandments.
