DR. VOIGT PRESENT AT THE CONVENTION Which Was Held During the Entire Month of August at Eisinach, Germany.—lso Delegates in Attendance. The Lutheran World Convention, held in Eisenach, Germany in the month of August, (was the subject of an in teresting address delivered last! night at. St. James Lutheran Church by the Itev. A. G. Voigt, I). D.. dean of the Southern Lutheran Thelogical Semi nary at Columbia, South Carolina. Dr. Voigt, who was one of the Ameri can representatives at the World Con vention, gave his hearers an outline of the results accomplished, and some of the impressions gained at the great gathering. At the convention were present representatives from -more than twenty countries. Only 150 delegates were invited, the largest number being from Germany and America, the latte: having fourteen from the United States and one from Canada. Dr. Voigt was one of the delegates from the United States, and a member of one of the important committees in the convention. One of the greatest accomplishments of the convention, said the speaker, was the creation of two committees —one of them n small committee of three mem bers and the otlier consisting of member from every country represented at the convention—the purpose of which is to more perfectly coordinate the work of the Lutheran churches in the various conn tries of the world, Os the two committees, the smaller one is vested with the authority, while the large com mittee is to function in an advisory ca pacity to the smaller -one. All the addresses at the convention were prepared, and were delivered by ap pointment. Each one was prepared along lines previously determined by the committee, with certain definite objec tive* in mind, One of the aeaeions was held at the Wnrtburg castle, made fits AM. by the great r«torninH*n.fc<W!;i:'i.-.f iu the lfith century, and in wfiicn "Martin Luther made the first translation of the Jtible into the German language and gave it to the people. A striking feature of the meeting was the fact that only delegates werf pres ent from various countries which liad only a few years before been at war with each other—in fact, delegates from France and Germany sat down together in its sessions, at which all national ani mosities were submerged, and the feel ing of Christian love prevailed. The relief work which has been going on for several years by the National Lutheran Council of the United States' has. been a most important feature in Europe, continued Dr. Voigt. Tn many instances it has been the only thing that has prevented the disintegration of the churches. Up to the close of the war. the various states in Germany had had their state churches, which the states supported. Since the republic has been formed in Germany, it ha* decided to separate state and church, and the sup port of the church now devolves upon the members, who. have not yet been trained to give to its support. From this reason, the church is at present in a critical position iu Germany, but one from which it is gradually emerging sat isfactorily. The most acute situation of all exists in Russia. The Russian church had only one representative present at the conventions, nnd he told of the distress -1 ing conditions existing in his country under the soviet regime. Besides the opposition from the soviet, the alarming phase of the situation is the low ebb of morals in that great country, and the relief work which has been carried on Ml Y ~ WmMM, * “ " "S. ~~ ~~ He Has Shares in the Old Reliable Building and Loan As sociation Have you taken the step necessary to insure you and your family the happy home life that is the birthright of every American ? \ It is the man who has the forethought and the will power to start a building and loan account with us when he is earning money—and saves a certain amount each week or month—who lives a normal life in a happy home.

Tlie Battery came to Concord from I liarlotte. whore it took part in the Alade in Carol inns Exposition. It- is en route to Greensboro to attend the Guilford County I*air. and later will visit Raleigh Where it will be one of the attractions at fh<* State Fair. The battery members were delayed in reaching Concord due to several acci dents on the road. One large truck ran off a 20-foot embankment; a trailer on another trail; broke loose; and a mofbr c.vele sergeant, engaged in directing the convoy, was badly injured when rammed by a civilian car.

We do not want but half of the road, but we want our half. Autos striking tlie trucks do not worry up so far as we find our equipment are concerned. The autos cannot hurt the trucks, but we d.i not want to mangle people and ruin ' their cars.” Lieut. Bryant added further that be tween Concord and Charlotte a number of auto drivers flirted with death by driving so close to the trucks and seem ingly- trying to crowd the trucks from the road.
