" MESSAGE UPHELD Rev. Wenchel Says Presi- dent’s Greeting “Needs No Defense.” President Hoover's act in sending a| message of greeting to members of | the Lutheran denomination of the United States, which brought criticism from._Rev. John J. Burke, secretary of | the National Catholic Welfare Con- | ference. was unheld today in a state- | ment by Rev. Dr. J. Frederic Wenchel, Pa.wor ol tne Lutneran Church. Father Burke had charged that President Hoover violated the spirit, 1f not the letter, of his oath of office in sending the message, which he con- tended was “an insult to many millions of American citizens.” The statement of Father Burke that | Martin Luther was not “a champion of the separation of church and state” today brought the following reply from the Lutheran clergyman: Says Greeting “Needs No Defense.” “The greeting of President Hoover to the Lutheran Church on celebration | of the 400th amniversary’ of the Augs- burg Confession needs no defense. | “It, all depends on how narrowly we understand the articles of the United States - Constitution. While many Protestants were displeased that former Presidents (Taft and Wilson), al- though not Roman Catholics, attended | the Pan-American mass on Thanks- giving day, which had an official | character, our Catholic" fellow citizens were greatly elated. “It is not our purpose to enter into | any controversy nor to defend Martin | Luther where he erred, but to uphold him where he was right. As a matter of fact, the third paragrapn of article 28 of the Augsburg Confession states | the principle of the scparation of church and state very clearly in these words: ‘ Church, Civil Power Explained. | « «Therefore, the power of the church and the civil power must not be con- founded. The power of the church had | its own commission to teach the gospel and administer the sacrament. Let it| not break into the office of another; let | it not transfer the kingdoms of 'this | world; let it not abrogate the laws of civil rulers; let it not abolish lawful obedience; let it not interfere with | judgment concerning civil ordinances or | Ccontracts; let it not prescrive laws to [ civil rulers concerning the form of the commonwealth. As Christ says, “My Kingdom is not of this world. Who | made me a judge or a divider over | “Luther helped in the framing of this | historic document.~ It took, of course, of struggle and work, suffering | and_sacrifice until it was practically | realized in the Constitution of the United States.” e st MILLION AUTHORIZED | FOR EMORY COLLEGE | M. E. Conference at Bristol Acts | Also to Raise $250,000 for Hiawasse. By the Associated Pres: BRISTOL, Va, October 15.—The | Holston Conference of the Southern | ‘Methodist Church closed here yesterday | after authorizing campaigns to secure | $1,000,000 additional endowment for | Emory and Henry College, Emory, Va., and $250,000 for Hiawasse College, Madisonville, Tenn. Dr. J. N. Hillman, chairman of the Christian education board of the con- ference, said Emory and Henry College must have additional endowment to meet requirements of the Southern As- sociation of Colleges. Bishop H. M. Dubose left his chair as presiding officer today to grasp the hand of Rev. J. Tyler Frazier of Chil- howle, Va., 90 years old and the oldest member of the conference, when he said good-by to the delegates. Ministers for the coming year were appointed.

Kinsella was walking his beat when Curcio, standng nearby, put an auto- matic pistol to hs temple because life held no further interest for him. Curcio felt a sneeze coming on and he wanted to beat it with the bullet, but the sneeze won, emerging just as Curcio pressed the trigger. The bullet drilled into a wall, a scant inch from the po- liceman’s head. (Copyright, 1930. by North American News- paper Alance.)

Mozart's melodies, says the proprietor, inspire a craving for cham- pagne. Waguer, too, tickles the palate for wines and spirits, especially in “Lohengrin” and “Tannhauser.” Haydn's merry tunes promote the sale of sherry, while Rossini moves the customer to lager. But Beethoven and Tchaikovsky are dubbed “no good” at all as wihe sellers, Modern composers are in the same category, and even Richard Strauss yields only one-tenth of the drink profits of Wagner.
