THE FIFTEENTH
ANNIVERSARY
LUTHERAN
CHURCH
Rev. A. H. Kaub Comes
From Chicago To Take
Part in Celebration
CHURCH NOW IS
SELF-SUPPORTING
Rev. E. W. Kuss, of New Or
leans, Spoke in the
Evening.
In spite of the unsettled :weather
last Sunday, there was a large crowd
in Abita Springs to commemorate
the fifteenth anniversary of the or
ganization of the Lutheran Chur'h
congregation there, and the four
teenth anniversary of the dedication
of the church building. New Or
leans was well represented at this
gathering, many having come over
on the excursion. Also Bogalusa,
Mandevile and Goodbee were repro
sented, for the speaker of the day
still has many warm friends in the
Sunny South.
Rev. Arthur H. Kaub, whose dis
tinction it is to have been the orator
of the Abita Springs congregation in
1905, came all the way from Chicago.
to be with his people on his day of
rejoicing. 'He delivered a forceful
and earnest sermon, pointing out
that this church and congregation
have been a guiding 'lght to this
entire community, and a thoroughly
paying investment, because it has
brought many souls to eternal sal
vation through preaching and con
fessing "Christ and Him Crucified"
according to the pure and unadulter
ated word of God. Pastor Kaub also
reminded all those outside the
church of their duty toward God and
'man to become active members of (
the congregation; and exhorted
those who are members to oontinnue
irmvesting their money, time and
labor for the propagation otf God's
kingdom. "If anyone asks you what
your business is," said the speaker.
"your answer should be: I am a
Christian. 'My business is to be a
christian, and I work alongside to
pay the expenses."
In the evening service Rev. E. W.
Kuss, of New Orleass spoke. "You I
have great reasons fo make this day
one of rejoicing and thanksgiving,' I
he said, "because your congregatoon
and your church building have these
fifteen years .stood definitely and ef
fectively for two grand purposes.
the glorification of Jesus Christ, and
the salvation of your fellow man"
The Lutheran Church of Abita
Springs has experienced slow but
steady growth since 1905. In 1916
payment for the church building was
completed; in 1917 the parsonage
next to the church was built; in 19:9
the pastor was furnished with a Ford
car to as.l't him in his work; in
April, 1920, the congregation, with (
the help of Mandeville and Good'bee
missions, is announcing itself self
supporting, 1. e., no longer in need
of help from the Southern Mission
Board, which has subsidized it dur.
ing the past fifteen years.
The growth and progress of this
church ¶'s an index to the steady for
ward march of St. Tammany parish.
The following have served as resi- I
dent Lutheran pastors in Abita:
'Rev. Arthur Kaub, 1904-08.
Rev. Paul E. Wagner, 1909-10.
Rev. Martin ,Kuegele, 1910-13.
Rev. Ohrist Kuegele, 1913-15.
Rev. Oscar 'W. Luecke, 1915-20.
Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Reed and Miss
Minnie Kindat, of New Orleans,
spent Sunday with Mr. and Mra. S.
D. Anderson.

RESOLUTIONS TO LATE
SHERIFF BREWSTER.
Into the life of each community
there comes occasionally some man
whose signal qualities, unobstrusive
ly exhibited during the span of life,
stand out, when accented by death,
like unto Mare at Perihilion-and
cause fellow citizens to pause for the
nonce and to conisder the phenomena
of a man, good and true.
Whence it happens, that the Ba'
of the 'Parish of St. Tammany, Lou
'isiana, who, for some decades past,
had come to know Thomas Edward
,Brewster, its sheriff, and realizing
that in his death it suffered a loss
of a competent, honest, fearless and
fair official, and a friend, to evidence
its respect, and, in some measure
express its consideration to the liv
ing, does, through its undersigned
commlttee, in open court in Coving
ton, St. T'mmany Parish, State of
Louisiana, move, the Court, an its
melancholy duty, to inscribe upon its
minutes for this 12th day of April,
A. D., 1920, the frst day of court
since our Sheriff's death, these reso
lutions:
Whereas, as afore cited, Thomas
Edward Brewster has entered into
eternal rest,
And whereas, this Bar mourn in
-im a man who appreciated and who
ever performed his dutyt and
A falend, in the full~meaning of
that word,
Be 'it resolved, That the Bar ten
der to the family of the deceased its
respectful experssions of sincerest
sympathy,
And be it further resolved, That in
addition to the minute entry request
ed, that the Court do'order the issu
ance to the Brewster family of a
certified copy of this groceeding and
do order the publicatTon thereof in
The St. Tammany Farmer and The
Slidell Sun.
