I pacers German in Church The villagers of Brussels, Calhoun county, Il., have decided that an American church is no place in which to preach sermons in the German language. Before the war came to America there was preaching in German by the pastor of the St. Matthews’ Evangelical Lutheran church of Brussels. The sermon, singing and praying were done in German. The church members were of German parentage. | But shortly after the United States went to war some of the 60 members of that congregation started a move- ment, which Philander P. Claxton, United States commis- sioner of education, calls a “form of hysteria, but which in fact is a righteous wave of loyal American objection to anything German. These church members asked the pas-| tor to preach his sermons in English, and asked that songs and prayers be in English. He refused, and contifued using the language of the kaiser’s Huns. | One by one the congregation quit that church because of the Germanism on the tongue of the pastor. Today only six members of the 60 hear those German language sermons and sing those German words and bow their heads in Ger- man prayers. The 54 Americans have hired a preacher of their own and now hold services in English in the village) schoolhouse. They have asked the Illinois council of defense | to take measures to stop the German speaking pastor from) using the German language in what was their place of By way of emphasis, let us call attention to the names of some of the 54 who refuse to listen to German sermons, | German prayers and German songs in an American church: Kulp, Goetze, Kinder, Nolte, Krause, Herrmann, Wieneke, Moerlein. | Even those with German names are opposed to the stand Philander P. Claxton has taken on behalf of the Ger-| man language. | pteapeennesee | Court the Light Disease, danger and death lurk in the dark. menace and threaten.
