Hut there is a threefold death, bodily, spiritual and eternal. Many, though alive in body, are dead in tresspasses and sins. Death is a separation and many are spiritually separated and thus dead to God and salvation. The church, like unto Hagar of old. could not bear to see the boys sent out to war, stand In danger of spiritual spirit-ual death through lack of spiritual care, and on that account as soon an the war broke out all of the churche.s did their utmost to supply the war department with chaplains and war workers, such as the Y. II. C. A., the Lutheran Brotherhood, Community War Camp Service branches, etc All had to be done In a great hurry and rush and consequently some branch0- IT erfl little handicapped in bein able to ghe their best service, but a great and noble work has been done, for the soldiers. Dr. Knoll told of the many letters he had received from boys over ihere. Tvho had written to him In appreciation of what the different dif-ferent church organizations had don for them. Many boys have been brought into closer touch with their! Opd and haTe accepted Chrlt as their i personal Saviour The church dtd Ita bit in the war "God heard the valea ( of the lad." God has heard the pray, 'era of the mother and the boya. evn i a he heard and answered the prajera I I of Hagar and lahmacl in the wilder-nea. wilder-nea. Tb war has made better Cfcrsl tlana of the tat majority of th boya The war baa been of a great bleinM n that reaper, and through It nil Icaji dl-rern lh providential hand of ' r.od guiding the deatlnles of nation as well as men. Or Knoll la raaklnp a lrture tour throughout the middle weat and the j Pacific coast under the auspices ot the National Lajtheran Commission 'for Soldier and Sailors" Welfare, ; I which coramialon took mrh an a- UTS , part In ministering to the various J ' spiritual needs of the Lutheran men: during the war. A sum of one and one-half millions of dollars w.is eath-ered eath-ered In the Lutheran churches of this .ountry when the war broke out by tin commlalon and this money WW spent for the caring for the soldiers and aailors In the various can'onmcntj and on the battlefields. |
