Monday, April 7, will see the
opening of the Texas District
Convention of the American
Lutheran Church, accord ng to
Rev. F. G. Roesner of Austin,
Director of Public Relations.
This Convention will he the
Baptism of Fire for the Rev. C.
N. Roth, Winters, Texas, the new
President of the Texas District,
sinceT this will be his first Con-
vention over w'hich he will pre
side. The Rev. Roth is a very
versatile individual. He is not
only a Pastor, who was very suc-
cessful in his ministry, but is al-
so well versed in church archi-
tecture, music, landscaping and
many other things. He was re-
cently written up as one of the
interesting personalities in the
magazine “Texas Week.” He at-
tended various colleges, including
the University of Texas in his
younger days and is a graduate
of Wartburg Seminary, Dubuque.
The Pastors of the American
Lutheran Church in Texas, as
well as the laymen delegates of
the many congregations, are a
bit curious to see how the new
President will handle the Con-
vention.

REV. C. N. ROTH
officially Monday at 7:30 p. m.
with a Divine Service in which
the Pastors and delegates will
partake of Holy Communion and
the Rev. C. R. Roth, president,-
will preach the sermon. The bus-
iness part of the meeting will
begin Tuesday morning. All
Preliminary Committees, how-
ever, go into meeting on Monday
at 2:00 p. m. in preparation for
their Floor Committee reports
during the Convention.
The following representatives
of the American Lutheran
Church with headquarters at
Columbus, Ohio, will be present:
Dr. Emmanuel Poppen, president
of \ the American Lutheran Church
Dr. Henry F. Schuh, director of
Stewardship and. Finance; Dr.
Wm, L. Young, executive secre-
tary of the Board of Christian
Higher Education. They will
bring messages and assist in
steering some of the principle con-
siderations.
According to Rev. F. G. Roes-
ner, some of the outstanding
questions to be discussed at the
Convention will be, the building
of Texas Lutheran College into
a Senior College; Lutheran
World Action, through which the
Lutheran Church is endeavoring
to rebuild Europe, primarily in
a spiritual way, since approxima-
tely 60,000,000 Lutherans were up-
rooted or .supressed during the
war; Reconstruction of Foreign
Missions in all parts of the
world, particularly in India and
New Guinea; Parish Education,
since the Church believes that
Christian Education is the only
solution of our delinquency ques-
tians as well as many of our so-
cial and economic problems. The
great political questions of our
day involving the future of Chris-
tianity and Democracy will re-
ceive attention, according to Rev.
Roesner. Finances of the Church
have been considerably increas-
ed due to greater need. Dr. Hy.
F. Schuh, Columbus, Ohio, will
speak on this, while Dr. Emman-
ual Poppen will bring a message
concerning the Church as a
whole, Another important ques-
tion of the day to be discussed
is “Religious Services on the
Air.” The Rev. Roesner, Director
of Public Relations is chairman
of this committee, having had
considerable experience in radio
work.
Spectacular action-filled acts
and amazing performances by
world champions will feature the
entertainment program at the
fourth annual Houston Sports,
Recreation and Vacation Show,
April 18 through April 24, at Sam
Houston Coliseum.
The greatest spectacle of its
kind in the Southwest, the Hous-
ton Sports Show has booked out-
standing acts and performers
from the nation’s - two top sports
expositions—at Chicago and New
York—according to Maurice S.
Bright, show director.
Show headlin-
er is Joseph
Maurin, interna-
tional skiing
star, in the most
u n u s ual per-
formance ever
presented in the
South. Maurin
will perform
thrilling feats on
an iceless run-
way, stretching
ros-ko from the ceiling
of the Coliseum to the floor. The
lightning-fast slide will be covered
with straw, declared by Maurin to
be as fast as snow or ice for skiing.
Ros-Ko, trained, talking wild
crow—the only bird of its kind do-
ing an entire act—is another fea-
ture of the big program of enter-
tainment. Louis Tops spent four
years training the wild crow,
which has appeared as “guest
star” on many radio programs and
has performed in outstanding
shows all over the ‘country.

caught the night before. Accord-

An Answer
To Charges
Thank you, Mr. Editor, for the
kind permission to make this
reply.
Like most citizens of Harper,
the writer is very reluctant to in
the least disturb the peace and
| the harmony which have been
such attractive features of this
charming community. It has
been his home for sixteen years,
and he loves it.
That very fact is one reason
why he asked to make a reply.
It appears to him that what is
insinuated is as serious as what
is expressly stated. It is a call to
Protestants to unite,;—no not a-
gainst Atheism or godlessness, or
Communism,—but against Cath-
olics. That could mean serious
disturbances, dissensions in the
community. It would be to start
a little fire of our own when'we
ought rather to unite to fight a
fire which threatens to consume
all of us. His intention is to
prevent any such folly.
As is well known, a priest
does not parade around with a
chip on his shoulders, looking
for argument, but neither is he
afraid to accept a challenge
when, in the performance of his
duty, it becomes necessary for
him to do so.
This necessity does not dis-
pense with the obligations, of
charity. Be it understood, there-
fore, that it is not with the spir-
it of ill-will but of good-will that
this reply is made. It is -made
in the interest of truth to which
we should ALL be devoted. It
is not directed against a person
or a church, but it is directed
towards upholding the truth.
W§ are not interested in proving
another in error, but we are in-
terested in testifying to what is
true.
That it may be clear to all
readers, these are the circum-
stances. The Harper Herald of
March 28, 1947, contained this in
an article which was contributed
to it: “Presbyterians and Prot-
estants generally need to make
our united WILL for freedom
and the people’s welfare heard
at our Capitol.”
“7‘he^..Catholic Church is the
strongest lobby there now. On
certain issues her voice, unop-
posed, speaks for measures few
Protestants can endorse (if w&
are to maintain our Constitu-
tional separation of Church and
State,) as: an official U.S.A.
representative at the Vatican,
Myron Taylor; public school
busses carrying children to Cath-
olic school; and eventual tax
support of Catholic teaching, in
Catholic Schools.”
In a letter to the editor, I ask-
ed permission to make a reply
to this. The Herald of last week
reproduced my letter and the

A schedule has been worked
out for the Hill Country League
comprising teams from Stone-
wall, Fredericksburg, Harper, In-
gram, Bandera, Sisterdale and
Camp Stanley, with the first
games slated on Sunday, April
20. The Fredericksburg team,
to be known as “Seipp’s” will
play at Harper on the opening
date while Stonewall will motor
to Bandera and Ingram will play
at Sisterdale. Camp Stanley,
7th team in the league, will have
an off-day and each team will
have an open date each sixth
Sunday.
Officials of the league were
editor’s reply granting the re-
quested permission.
It is obvious that space limita-
tions will not permit a full reply
to all statements and their im-
plications. We shall do our best
within a reasonable length.
As a reply one could quote a
Latin proverb which, translated
would be: what is asserted with-
out proof, can be denied without
proof. However, we prefer to
use proofs when contrasting the
charges made.
Point One
Statement: “The Catholic
Church is the strongest lobby
there now.”
Answer: We might be misun-
derstood if we were to pass this
without mention. We could
question the statement as it
stands, especially in the light of
the statements that follow.
To lobby means to influence
legislation. Surely the Church
may try to do that in certain
cases. It’s Her duty. She must
fight for the right and against
the wrong. Her task is to pro-
tect the interests of God, and pro-
mote the best interests of men,
their spiritual welfare. When,
then, the Catholic Church fost-
ers or . opposes certain legisla-
tion, it will be found to be be-
cause such legislation either pro-
motes God’s interests and man’s
welfare, or is opposed to the
moral law.
In 1he matter of influencing
legislation, the Church is bound
to get it both ways. If She tries
to direct legislation, She is con-
demned for interfering; and if
She does not use Her influence,
She is condemned for failing
mankind.
I have only an extract of a
column written last summer by
Larston D. Farrar, Religious
News Service correspondent.
He wrote y “Already in action
are ‘lobbyists’ for the Congrega-
tional Christian Churches, the
Methodist Church, the Women’s
Chrisitian Temperance Union
the Friends (Quakers), the
Christian Scientists, and the Un-
ited Council of Church Women.”
He also states that the Bap-
tists and the Church of the
Brethern have decided to main-
tain representatives in Washing-
ton. The National Association
of Evangelicals planned to open
a Washington office, and the
Federal Council of Churches
maintains a ‘listening post’ in
Washington. Mind you, these all
represent Protestant groups. It
looks, therefore, as though there
need be (no fear of the Catholic
Church with all these Protest-
ant representatives in Washing-
ton to watch over things.

EVOLUTION OF UNIFORM AND EQUIPMENT OF THE U. S. ARMY INFANTRYMAN—The progress of the United States in pro-
viding for itfe national defense is pictured graphically in the sketches above. The pitifully small but courageous force mustered by the new
government Jin 1790 paraded in cocked hat and long-tailed coat and carried the ancient flintlock musket. In the War of 1812 the uniform
was improved but the flintlock remained, except for Jackson’s famous riflemen in New Orleans. The percussion musket, along with the
rifle, came in 1846 late in the Mexican War, when a conspicuous uniform and a cockaded cap made the soldier a perfect target. In the War
Between the States the same long-barreled rifle remained. The uniform was blue, a color that was popular with the quartermasters as
well as writers of war songs, until khaki was introduced in the Spanish-American War in 1898. The breechloader and repeating rifle came in
during the Indian campaigns in the 1870s. World War 1 saw amazing improvements both in uniform and equipment. Infantry units
embraced machine gun platoons and the new steel helmet was of practical service. The sketch labeled 1947 was made from a photograph of
a soldier in the latest outfit, with battle jacket and overseas cap. The color is “O.D. 33”, a shade of olive drab. The sketch shows a carbine,
but the infantryman may also carry the M-l rifle and hand grenades, and among his comrades are teams trained in the use of the machine
gun, the bazooka, the tommygun, automatic rifle, etc.
