Judge & & Stewart of l/asten, Pa), fvned each of the jurors $10 and costs when he found them guilty of tossing a coin to reach a verdict in a criminal case, v The Sa£on Lutherans settled in and near St. Louis, Missouri, and soon made their presence felt among all Lutherans in the United States by the introduction of a democratic form of church life. The rapid growth of their denomination has been due in part to the democratic form of church government, according to which each congregation is sovereign and Synod only an advisory body. «, •• The Saxon immigrants came to America with the intention never to return to their native land. They came to stay, and from the very beginning they looked upon America as their homeland, to which they owed allegiance. The great leader of the Saxon immigrants, Dr. Ferdinand Walther, in a sermon on the Fourth of July* fourteen years after the immigration, declared: i "Thrice blessed may this day be! On it the foundation of a State was laid in which freedom of religion and conscience has been made a principle of government. Blesesed be this land in which we enjoy this freedom . . . A# citizens Of this country let us toork zealously, fight bravely, and, if need be, shed our blood cheerfully that this country may remain a free country and that it may above all retain the golden crown of its freedom, namely, religious liberty.
