The congrega­ tion and the church choir sang appro­ priate spngs and the address of the afternoon was delivered by the pastor, Rev. H A. Laufer, to a large audi­ ence. Rev. Laufer chose for his text Rom. 13:1-7., saying: "The unfurling of a service flag is no empty, dead ceremony, but one fraught with weigthy, living signifi­ cance. When looking at the flag ser­ ious truths should be brought home to our mind and soul with striking em­ phasis and telling-effect. The service flag speaks an eloquent language and what it has to say we are ready to hear. This flag puts us in mind of our duty to our government and to our soldier boys. It reminds us that we, who may not be able to go to the front to fight, should resolve to serve in the home trench with the same enthusiasm, devotion and earnestness as our boys at the front. "We read in our text: 'Let every soul be subject to the higher powers.' Here the divine duty of obedience to the existing government of a country is enjoined upon all in general and upon the Christians in particular. And ample reasons are mentioned by St. Paul to persuade a Christian to do his full duty toward his .government. There is no power but of God.' The institution of government is a precious gift of God. There would be and and could be no government at all in the world if the institution of govern­ ment pame from God. The perverse- ness and degeneracy of mankind after the fall is so great that no govern­ mental power in the universe would be able to uphold outward order and decency and to maintain itself if the strong army of God would not be back­ ing up government. Contrary to the distructive views of the nihilist, and many socialists, the bible teaches that the ordinance of government is 'of God.' More! 'The powers that be are ordained of God.' The existing gov­ ernment under which a person lives, be its form whatever it may, is or­ dained of God, &nd to it must be ren­ dered willing submission. The citizen who 'resisteth the power,' who opposes himself to its laws and demands and even rages in open rebellion against his government, is committing a hein­ ous sin against the ordinance of God and is implicated in a wild affront against God himself. He will receive unto himself a judgment. The law­ breakers, traitors and rebels will feel not only the revengeful iron hand of the law, but also God will visit upon them a punishment terrible to behold. They sow the wind and reap the whirl­ wind. "Only then are we justified before God in disobeying the mandates of the government, if these requirements are in open contradition to the word of God, or if the government would leave its sphere, the bodily protection and welfare of its citizens, and would m a k e r e l i g i o u s p r o h i b i t i o n s a n d d e - j mands. The welfare of the soul is no subject of concern for the state.1 But in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the body, the Christians are subject to the government. They obey the laws, pay taxes and stand by their government with their money and their goods, their life and their blood, when the state feels in duty called upon to draw the sword in de­ fense of its rights and for the welfare of its people. Obedience to the government is induced also by the remembrance of the blessings of government, which a terror to the evil doers and an agent of much good- to those who do good, who show themselves and act respectable, law-abiding, patriotic citizens. For a Christian, therefore, obedi­ ence to his government is not only a matter of fear of punishment, but alBo and primarily a matter of conscience. For God's sake, a Christian is obedient to his government, makes intercession for his magistrates, and thanks GodT that His wisdom and mercy has given unto fallen mankind the institution of government, without which it were impossible to lead a quiet and peace­ able life in all godliness and honesty. Now, in obedience , to the call of our country, our young men have left and will leave for their respective training camps and for the battle field. As Christian young men they feel themselves in conscience bound to obey the mandates of their government and to subject themselves also to the draft law. In tWir Christian homes, in their Lutheran school, and in their Lutheran church the wilt of God has been stamped upon their conscience. Let every soul be subject to the high­ er powers.' Therefore they have stood the acid test of patriotism and loyalty by departing for the training camps in preparation for war service, being ready to offer their precious young lives when it is demanded by their country. When we view the service flag may the valiant services which our boy3 are rendering vividly come before our soul, and let us then dedicate ourselves ever anew to the service of our beloved country and continue to assist our country effect­ ually and energetically in these times of sore distress according to the ways and means which our government has pointed out to us. "A Christian will not be a 'con- scientious objector.' Indeed war is a terrible hardship and everybody must expect hardships out of a war. A nation waging war must be ready and It it <m*j patrlotftai y pi**. mm, personal mmm and personal privileges in the interest and: for the welfare of one's own country. The Conscientious Christian, therefore, is and should be the best patriot of the country. He will render glad and willing obedience to the best of his ability, whether it be by helping raise money for the government with lib­ erty bonds or thrift or war saving: stamps; whether it be by taking ac­ tive part in the work of the Red Cross, or supporting that organization with his money; or whether it be by practising rigid economy in food, coal, clothing and other necessities of life, which must be conserved at this time fpr the common good. Our govern rfien cannot carry out its* functions in this time of war without the financial and substantial aid of its people. In obedience to the call of our country let us therefore continue to do all in our power that the national treasury may not be embarrassed by the de­ mands now made upon it, and that the comforts which our dear soldier boys are so sorely in need of may not be found lacking. "Furthermore, for us, who remain at home and who cannot* do their bit in the fields of battlfe^ let this ser vice flag be also an incentive for prayer. The red in the border of the service flag stands for courage, zeal and fervency; the white for pur­ ity, cleanness of life and rectitude of conduct; the blue for loyalty, and so let it be our daily prayer that not a single coward be found among them; that He make them strong and cour­ ageous to fight and win the spiritual battle against that trinity of evil, satan, world and flesh; A soldier boy who does not win that spiritual skir­ mish against these three mighty ene­ mies and does not by the grace of God overcome himself, his evil inclinations and his own sjnful heart is not only no good in God's sight, but is also no good to the army or navy. There­ fore let us jpray Almighty God to make our boys courageous that they never turn their back upon Him nor upon their country; that He keep them clean, so that they come back to us as good as when they went away and even better; that He make them firm­ er in the covenant which they made before His altar, that their medita­ tions of Him, of Jesus, be sweet; that they may keep clean in thought and upright in action. Lastly, let us pray Almighty God that He go with our boys into the camps, that He be with them in His tender mercies and pro­ tection, when they embark for the journey over the dangerous waters, when they , go into the first line trenches, when they go 'over the top,' when shot and sliell are falling, when host encounters host, when carnage and bloodshed is all around and if it be His will that we may see them all again in the best of health, and above all true to their Savior. "The seven stars on the flag stand in honor of the following • young men of our church: Ed. Rossman, Edward and JFred Nickels, Ed. Krepel, Carl and Arthur Patzke and Charles Geske. Altho sorrowful, that our boys have departed from us, perhaps never to be greeted by us again, neverthe­ less it is with feelings of pride and gladness that we recognize that they have gone forth from us to serve the most glorious'country on God's earth, to battle for it, and, if God so wills, to die for it. We know that they have gone forth to do their duty and this reconciles to the sacrifices which they and we must make. And if it be their lot, to fall upon the field of battle in the service of their country, and we must replace these star of blue with golden stars of a brighter luster, let us then find comfort in the thought that they have been deemed worthy to be consecrated to the glory of our country and in the hope that they are saved thru faith in Christ Jesus.
