WO 1 .... t ..I. J
Jonn rates was arresieu lasi mgu
on a complaint sworn out before Re
corder Gates, by Melida Poehluinn,
charging Prates with an assault witii a
deadly weapon on Bert Lynch. Frates
was subsequently released on bail and
bis examination wuh Bet for 4 o'clock,
this afternoon. The trouble occurred
in tlie O'l'arr hotel. Lynch, it is said,
was drunk und bad just hud a row up
stairs with u phrenologist, who resented
eeurrulouB remarks that Lynch bad
made in tlie presence of ladies and for
bis interference was rewarded with a
knock-down and a black eye. Coining
down stairs Lynch immediately got into
an altercation with Frates. Just who
started the row is not clear, but Frates
was promptly knocked to his knees and
in the scullle wliich followed be pulled
out his pocket knife and stubbed Lynch
in the back, Inflicting an uuly if not
serious wound.
A large delegation of Eight-Milers
were in town today us witnesses or
principals in un assault und battery
case before Justice Urownliill. The
complaining witness is August Longreen,
whose face is sutlicient evidence that
something happened him. Longreen's
Hlory is, that during the progress of an
entertainment that wuh held in the
Endersby sclioolhouse Friday night be
rebuked a number ot boys for creating a
disturbance und that after the enter
tainment was over six or seven of the
lads fell on him and beat and abused
liini. Tlie boys say that the only dis
turbance they made was before the
meeting commenced, when Mr. Lon
green had no right to interfere. The
prosecution singled out two of the boys,
Raymond Covert, a lad of 18 years and
his brother, Charles, a young man of
21 years. When brought into court
they pleaded guilty and the justice
fined them $12.00 each which was
promptly made up by a score or more of
the boys' neighbors, who had followed
them to town to witness the trial.

COMPARATIVE GROWTH
jof the Lutheran and Christian Chnrcliefi
unit Other Mutter Krcli'HliiHticul.
Tin: Dau.kh, May -1, 1901.
Editoi: Dalles Chkoniclk:
Dj'.au Sin: Will you please, through
the medium of your esteemed paper,
ullow me to' say a few words in justifica
tion oi my former statements as to the
correctness of Elder J. B. Lister'e asser
tions about the comparative growth of
the Lutheran and Campbellite churches
in the United States during the last ten
years.
Reading J. B. Lister's remarks about
the Lutheran church, I couldn't help
but think of the truthfulness of the Bi
ble when it says that man's knowledge
is in part. Willfully or ignorantly men
(supposed to be well versed in ecclesias
tical history keep on misrepresenting
the Lutheran church, which, as every
one knows, is the church of the reforma
tion, the church to which every Protest
ant body in the United States, and
every where else, for that matter, sus
tains the same relation us a child does
toward its mother. Just as the daugh
ter is dependent upon the mother for
her very existence, so from a historical
view the so-called siPter denominations
are in fact the daughters of the Lutheran
church, dependent upon her for their
very existence. Some of them, however,
have shown themselves very ungiateful
daughters. All denominations, eyen
the most fanatical sects, acknowledge
Luther was the great hero of the Refor
mation, and that the principles for
which ho contended were right. But
what seems so strange to us is that
many of those who acknowledge that
those things were all right for Luther,
are ready to speak disparagingly of
those who are his followers und will
condemn them for advocating the same
things he advocated and teaching the
same doctrines he taught.
This is again manifested by the author
of the article in Friday's Chronicle. He
speaks lightly, to use a moderate term,
of the doctrine of infant baptism, wliich
we believe and confess and stand ready
to prove is a scriptural doctrine, taught
by tlie Christian church from the very
beginning. The entire membership of
the church, we are reminded by the cor
responding secretary of the Orpgon
Christian Missionary Society, is made
up of conversions (adult conversions is
what he meant); "nothing is counted at
tho cradle,'? Now that evidently implies
that children ought not to bo couuted
as members of tho church, which again
can only mean that children are not
members of the church. If they are,
why does the Christian church not count
them? We ask, in all sincerity and
oandor, as what does the elder count the
infants and those between the ages of 6
and 12? Where do they belong if not
to the church?
The increase in the Christian church,
as we are informed, is also not to be
accounted for by immigration. We nat
urally ask, how then? Only by conver
sions of the worldly-minded, the infidels
anil agnostics, and a little, perhaps, by
assimilation of material that does not
originally belong to them. The history
jof many religious bodies show that they
! have been guilty of proselyting others,
especially Lutherans. Many of tho
j churches here in America would rather
make a proselyto from tho Lutheran fold
! than to make a doen converts from the
I world. We read a short time ago Bn ac
count of a certain convention in the
j Northwest in wliich one of the mission
aries of that society asked for an appro
priation to enable him to work (prose
lyte) among tho Swedish settlers in that
country, whom he described as being a
very devout people who Lved to read
their Bibles, sermon-booke, catechisms,
etc. ; "but," he added, "they need to be
converted." Substitute the syllable
"per" for "con" and you will be nearer
tho truth, lor that was really his object.
We mention this incident simply to il
lustrate how it happens that some
bodies can grow so rapidly. And what
is worse, some religious societies in this
country are spending more money in
Lutheran countries for the purpose of
proselyting than they are spending to
convert tlio heathen. Sucli a policy
I say, is unchristian and wrong. Are
the Swedes, the Norwegians and Ger
mans so ignorant, so degraded that these
people must show their comparison by
journeying across the ocean to try and
teach them at least a few lesson9 in hon
esty, Integrity, eincerity and the other
elementary moral virtues. No! no! We
know that thoe nations are among the
most moral and upright on the face of
the earth, and that their state of moral
ity is higher than that of any people on
the globe. For tlie most part, jails,
prisons and court houses are unknown.
What is the cause of this state of affairs?
It is this: In those countries Luther
anient is the established religion; the
children are trained from their infancy
in the principles of religion, so that at
foil- or five years old they are able to
repeat Luther's small catechism ver
batim. Such a course as this not only
makes the best of Christians, but it de
velops the highest quality of citizenship.
But as to the "Cliristian" church
having increased more than the Luth
eran church in this country, it will be
sufficient to prove tlie falsity of the
statement by simply reminding the per
son from whom it originates that he has
only mentioned three general bodies of
our church, whereas there are many
others which he seemingly didn't know
ever existed. Besides the synods men
tioned in his comparisons there are
these: First, the joint Bynod of Ohio
with a communicant membership of 77,
oG2; the Buffalo synod, with 5,000;
Hauze's Norwegian synod, 12,540 ; Texas
synod, 1,700; Norwegian synod, 00,027;
German Iowa synod, 74,058; Danisli
Lutheran church in America, 10,000;
Synod of Icelanders, 5,559; Immanuel
synod, G.11S; Suorni (Finnish) synod,
11.04S; United Norwegian church, 130,
000; United Danish Lutheran church,
8,500; Michigan and other states, 5,304;
Norwegian Free church, 3S.000; Augs
bury synod, 4,183; Lutherans without
synodical connection, 25,000. Add these
figures to the ones given in Elder Lister's
statistics and see how the Lutheran
church in this country compares with
tho Christian church, to say nothing
of the 57,000,000 found in other coun
tries, such as Germany, Denmark, Nor
way, Swtden, Russia. Poland, Finland,
Hungary, Bohemia, the Netherlands,
European Turkey, England, Canada,
Nova Scotia, East and West Indies,
South America and Africa.
