GENERAL SYNOD OF THE EVANGETICAT
AND REFORMED CHURCH
JULY 9th to l6th,1947
In this issue of the MrssoNcsn we again desire
to bring the meeting of General Synod of the
Evangelical and Reformed Church to the attention of our members and friends. This meetirig
will be held at the Jefferson Hotel, beginning
Wednesday of this week and continuing until
July 16. Elaborate preparations have been made
to emphasize the meaning of General Synod for
the churches of St. Louis, Missouri Valley Synod
and South Illinois Synod. The interest of these
groups is centered in the great mass service
which will be held at Kiel Auditorium on Sunday
night, July 13 at 8:00 o'clock.
Preceding this great service a procession will
be formed at the Soldiers Memorial, 13th and
Pine Sts., at 6:30 P. M. The processional will be
made up of the delegates of General Synod, ministers and officials of churches and officers or
organizations who will be grouped according to
'
churches. Each group to be identifled by a large
shield giving the name of the church.
May we, therefore, remind all of the offrcersand
teachers of the church school and the officers of
all organizations to meet at the Soldiers Memorial at the hour indicated. A line of march will
extend from 14th Street to Washington, east on
Washington to 12th, south on 12th past Jefferson
Hotel to Market, west on Market to the Convention Hall of Kiel Auditorium.
The Convention Hall seats 12,000 people and
every effort is being made by all the churches of
St. Louis to cooperate in fiUing the auditorium.
Every church is expected to have at least 2bTo ot
its membership in attendance. Friedens Church
is, therefore, expected to supply as many as can
possibly come to help nll the convention hall.
This is an outstanding event for the constiruenrs
- of the Evangelical and Reformed churches of St,
Louis, and consequently we urge all of our people
to cooperate wholeheartedly.
The opening service of General Synod will be
held in St. Peter's Church on Wednesday, July 9,
at 8 o'clock, the president .of the church, Dr.
.
Louis W, Goebel, preaching the sermon. On
Thursday night, July 10, a service will be hetrl in
Christ Church Cathedral with the Rev. Calvin
Wingert of Washington, D. C., preachint the sermon and on l|riday night, July 11, at St. paul's
At the JEFFERSON HOTEL
Church with the Rev. James E, Wagner of Lancaster, Pa., preaching the sermon. ALL of our
people are invited to attend any or all of these
services.
It is possible that some of our people will hesitate to attend thq large service at KieI Auditorium
on Sunday night, July 13, owing to the hot
weather which may be prevalent at that time.
May we therefore inform all of our people that
Kiel Auditorium is air conditioned and consequently will be comfortably cool.
.
Our 90th Anniversary
X'rom now on, in every issue of the MEBSENcER,
we shall have something to say about the celebration of the 90th anniversary of our church, in
order that all of our people may be challenged to
cooperate through a vrorthy observance of this
event. The committee whieh has been appointed
to outline the prdgram and to make all preparations is holding regular meetings. Every member
of this committee is very alert to the responsibility which rests upon them. With admirable enthusiasm and interest the committee is allplying
itsetf diligently to every detail. In the very near
future we shall be privileged to acquaint all of
our members and friends with the various festivi
ties which will characterize the observance of the
anniversary.
Within this last month a letter has gone out to
all of our pembers and friends rpith the request
to indicate their choice of any particular task
which they would be willing to assume in order
to assist in attending to-all details. By this time
a large number of cards have been retufned and
it is truly gratifying to learn that so .many are
responding to this call for service. We trust that
as time goes on all cards will be returned which
will be evidence that all of our people are lnter.
ested in a v/orthy observance of the anniversary.
We shali be looking for your card - please do
not fail us!
MNETY New Members
Again we avail ourselves of this opportunity to
confront all of our members and friends to respond to our appeal to secure at least ninety new
members during this anniversary year. We have

contacted all of the organizations to put forth
strenuous efforts to have all members of their
respectlve groups to become supporting members
of the church, which also includes finanpial support through the use of the weekly duplex envelopes. There are still many of our people who
claim X'riedens as their church but who as yet
are not supporting the church financially.
During this anniversary year we are also challenging all of our members and friends to attend
the worship services of the church faithfully, and
as near as possible, regularly. The 90th anniversary holds a very strong apBeal to our peoBle to
become worshipers in the sanctuary, not only now
and then but regularly and consistently. As a
church, we must become a greater power for good
in the community and in the world, which will be
possible only if we meet in the sanctuary retularly to derive inspiration and guidance to prove
ourselves true followers of our Lord, Jesus
Christ, and factors in the world to work for
peace through righteousness in living and in
service. There are elements in the world which
are working toward dragging the nations back to
possible wars. The church must work to avert
this possibility by confronting the world with the
necessity of accepting the way of life that leads
to peace thlough harmonious living. We pray that
all of our members and friends may rall5' around
the banner of Christ with His teachings to assist
in building a better world.
The Pastorts Vacation
After the lapse of years, the pastor has been
urged to take a real vacation this year. The
Church Council has very thoughtfully and insistently granted the pastor a vacation extending
over four Sundays. Therefore, Mrs. Press and he
have chosen to visit our daughter Helen in Los
Angeles, California. We have made reservations
to leave on July 21.
On the Sundays of his absence,the church services will be held without interruption with the
Rev. Warren Hilflker of Fellowship Center preaching in the 8:00 o'clock services and the Rev. Otto
Press having charge of the 10:30 services. We
trust that our people will be regular in their attendance at these servlces.
Meeeenger
In the event that the services of a pastor will
be needed during this period for sick calls or
other services, you will kindly contact Miss EIla
Voss, the pastor's secretary, who will secure a
minister to serve you.
Picnic
Brotherhood
The annual picnic of the Brotherhood, to which
so many of our members and friends react $/ith
so much interest, will be held at MAPLE GROVE,
on Bellefontaine and Spanish Lake Roads, on Sunday afternoon and evening, July 20. Although the
Brotherhood sponsors this picnic, all of the members and friends of X'riedens are invited to attend.
Games and contests of all sorts will be provided.
Those attending are requested to bring their baskets fllled with food. Refreshments may be purchased at the stands.
Department
Picnic
Intermediate
Sunday, June 22, was the date set for the picnic
for the Intermediate Department d,nd because of
the street railway strike we decided to go to
O'Fallon Park instead of Carondelet Park as
originally planned.
Not as many pupils were present at church
school as we would have liked, nor did as many
attend the picnic as we had anticipatefl, but those
that came prepared were eager to go, so. immediately after the church school session, about
10:30, 'rve were ready to start and we hiked out
to the park and found pavilion on Grounds No. 3
not occupied, so established this as our headquarters.
After resting a while we all Bartook of the
luncheon we had brought, supplemented by a bottle of soda and cake, furnished by Albert Schulze,
and a Dixie cup.
X'ollowing luncheon a baseball game \4.,as
started and everyone entered into the game, but
after five innings the game was called in order
that v/e would have time to rest befole entering
into the planned games and contests which the
teachers had arranged.
Marjorie Krey was in charge of the potato relay, which $'as won by Team No. 1. This was
something different than the usual relays.
Doris Overbeck was in charge of the shoe
scramble - not too much trouble was encountered
in finding our shoes and returning them to our
feet and lacing them as before, but after all our
hurry the one who was the last to complete the
task was the lucky one in this race.
Wilma Schasick and Ette Smith were in charge
of the peanut shot put relay and it seemed difficult to get the peanuts in the right place, but
Team No, 1 was successful in putting the most
peanuts in the bottle.
Bennie Brakensiek was in charge of the water
Frieilene
relay race and it was won by Team No. 2. This
was one of the best contests we haal and eyeryone
worked hard for their team.
Marjorie Krey and Albert Schulze were in
charge of the three-legged race and the winners
of this contest were ahead of the others by several feet.
Next came the peanut scramble ancl both Shirley Suermann and Robert Stiens cam'e up with
the same number (24) anal won the prizes for
these games.
X'oll.owing the games we partook of ice cream
on a stick-prizes
were awarded for Ure various
games and another baseball game was sta.rteal
which continued until time to get ready to go
home.
Another ice cream all- around, a piece of candy,
and we were ready to go home. We all voted it a
lovely picnic and regret that not more members
of the department had availed themselves of the
oDportunity to.have been with us.
A ffne spirit of cooperation was in evidence in
everything and all entered wholeheartedly in
everything that was done, which was one of the
biggest factors that enable0 us all to enjoy this
outing and vote it a huge success.
We also appreciated having a ride home rether
than having to walk at the end of the picnic.

Mr, \fm. Wolff was baptized and confirmed at
Friedens Cburch. As he gre$r to young manbooal
Mo.seeng.er
he was joined in marriage with Miss Estelle
Oechsle on Oct. 14, 1927. Together they walketl
down life's *ay accepting many blessings wbich
God in His mercy and love had bestowed upon
them. He had been blessed with good health and
thus enabled to meet his responsibilities in his
chosen vocation without any interruption. Within
the last year his health began to fail and as t'ime
went on reached a serious stage when he was compelled to undergo an operation. Apparently he
was on the way to recovery when very quickly
and quite unexpectedly he succumbed, and as a
result his loved ones are bowed down with heavy
grief and sorrow over the loss which they have
sustained. We commend them to God's comforting grace praying that He may sustain them and
open to their understanding His divine purBoses
in IIis dealings with them.

21st is Builders' Day. On this clay
we hope to have a guest speaker in the 10:30 service in rvhich we will recognize the Builders of
the past, present and future. The 8:00 o'clock
service will be omitted on this day. All of us are
builders and consequently all, old and young, are
expected to be in the sanctuary.
Early in the year an anniversary committee had
been appointed which has been very busy in planning the respective events of the anniversary,
which called for many meetings and intensive
study, X'or the convenience of all of our members,
as well as for their ediflcation, the committee has
prepared a 30-page anniversary book, which contains a complete outline of the anniversary program and which will be delivered to every home
in order that all of our members and friends may
be informed of every detail of the program. We
sincerely hope that all the members of every home
rvill follow closely the directions and instructions
given, and thus cooperate wholeheartedly toward
carrying out every phase of the anniversary.
On Friday, Sept. 26th the Youth tr'ellowship witl
sponsor their annual project which this year shall
be a Carnival. Tickets may be pulchased in advance or at the door. The members of the Youth
X'ellowship invite all to honor them with their
presence.
3'rom month to month the program of .every
week will be published in the current issue of the
MnssnNenn. Today, which repi'esents the flrst Sunday of the Anniversary observance,bears the designation "Commissloning Sunday" in which the visi
tors will be formally commissioned to visit all the
homes of our parish in order to deliver the books
and to extend an rirgent invitation for participation in the program. A very special emphasis will
be placed upon the attendance of all of our people
at the worship services on every Sunday.
On Sunday, SeBt. 14 is tr'ounders' Day. In the
worship services rve shall pay tribute to the men
who were the original organizers of the church as
well as the many faithful and loyal members who
carried on the work of the church through th€
ninety years. At the 10:30 service the bronze
tablet honoring the memory of young men who
made the supreme sacrifice in the World War I
and the service flag of World War II will be un-veiled and given a prominent place in the church
sanctuary.
On X'riday, Sept. 19th the Brotherhood will
sponsor'a X'ather and Sons Banquet at 6:30 P. M.
We are very eager to have every father and every
son in attendance. Reservations for the banquet
must be made by purchasing tickets for adults at
$1.25,for sons under 12 years 50c, An interesting
program is being prepared.
I
'September
The observance of our 90th Anniversary is at
hand. By this time all of our people are aware
that we are celebrating the anniversary over a
period of ninety days. In this period every Sunday will be devoted to emphasize some phase of
our church life. and in some weeks between Sundays special activities will claim our attention..
Sunday, Sept. 28th is Raily Day. The usual worship services will be h_eldin the morning. In the
evening on Sept. 28 at 7:30 P. M. the Church
School Rally Day program with very interesting
features will be presented, with all of our people
in attendance.
On Thursday, October 2nd, the Women's Guild
will sponsor the 90th anniversary luncheon in the
Church School auditorium, for which reservations
nrust be made.
Again w-e invite and urge ail of our Beople and
their friends to attend all of these services during
the monih of September.
Sunday
W'orld Wide Communion
On the first Sunday in October we join all Christians of the entire world in observing World Wide
Communion Sunday. On this day every Christian
will be in the sanctuary to celebrate the Lord's
Supper. That blessed institution which by reason
of its profound spiritual significance shall serve
to bind together all Christian Beople in one great
spiritual fellowship. In the past years many of
our people have availed themselves of the privilege of coming torthe Lord's Table to receive the
assurance of the remission of their sins, the
strengthening of our faith to memoralize the sufferings and death of our Lord and Saviour for
our redemption from sin and through earnest and
sincere repentance to receive the forgiveness of
all of our sins. This year, however, we pray that

New Members
In the observance of our g0th Anniversary, we
have set as one objective the winning of at least
ninety new members for the church. As yet. we
fear, that no special effort has been made by our
members tortrard realizing this high aim. 'We still
ha\'e many of our friends who are interested in
X'riedens Church, who attend the worship services
and who avail themselves of all the privileges
offered by the church, but.who as yet are not
closely related to the church through active membership. Membership of the church bears testimony on the part of every Christian to assist in
building up the church and extending the cause
o
Messenser
of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in the
world. We had hoped, and still retain this attitude, that on the occasion of our anniversary,
many of these friends will volunteer to enter into
closer fellowship with the church. May we repeat
this statement and urge them to come forward as
some already have done, and enable us to glorify
the anniversary and with it our Lord, through the
reception of many new members. However, in the
meantime, we trust that all of our members will
seek to make contacts with those who as yet are
not members, and influence therr to become active
and working members.
The housing situation in St. Louis remains very
desperate, and again one of our families is keenly
affected by it. We are therefore requesiing information from any one relative to a vacancy somewhere, which might present itself in order that the
Henry Krohnb family, who have been waiting over
so long a period of time, and who now are desper'Wlll
ately in need of & house, may be supplied.

cheer which were brought to him.
Finally God in His great mercy released him
from all earthly suffering and he was permitted
to come to rest.
He is now deeply mourned by his wife Julia" D.
nee Kunz and we commend her esBecially to God's
care praying that He may recompense her in the
loss which she has sustained. He is also mourned
by his daughters Estelle Wolff and Dorris Skaer,
one granddaughter June Wolff, son-in-law, his
brother John, his sister Bertha Schmidt, other
relatives and friendd.

Tho March from Rim to Hub
Our organizations are strengthening their forces
for the march from the Rim to the Hub. Our
organizations are as spokes to a wheel of which
the church itself is the hub.
The spokes are endeavoring to bring those members who are not so regular in attendance closer
to the Hub or Church. So let's all be sure to get
together and strengthen the wheel and let us not
have any weak spokes so that the Hub will be
folced to limB.
Attend,ance and' M eln beNuip Conxnxi'ttee

t6Goodfellowstt
The Gootlfellows, sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. O.
Limberg, entertained the children of the Evangeli'
cal Children's Home on Sunday, May 18, 1947.
Members of the church offered the service of
their automobiles to bring the children to the
church. A police escort was provided to insure
safety for the drive in-the children were quite
thrilled over their Dresence.
There were approximately l-10 children at the
church, ranging.from 3 years to 17 years. The
younger children were taken to the park, where
they visited the Engine House. While the older
children played various games.
At dinner they were served potato salad, wieners, chocolate milk, potato chips ancl home-made
apple pie with ice cream, which they enjoyed
very much.
After dinner a movie "Little Men" was shown.
It was well aBBreciated by the audience.
The children were returnecl to the Home by
8:30 P. M. in the same manner in which they
were brought.
The "Goodfellows" wishes to take this opBortunity to express their thanks for the many donations ieceived, and the invaluable services rendered during the course of the afternoon by many
men and women of the church, all of which helped
to make our earnest attempt to entertain the children a huge success.
Betty Follin, Vice-president.
Girl Scouts
Following our Court of Alvards the flrst week
in May, we had our annual camping trip to the
Girl Scout Camp at Cedarledge,Missouri, Mity 16,
Mossenger
17 and 18. As usual we had some rain, but in
spite of the rain-we consider this was the besr
trip we have had and the leaders believe the reason this was the best was that some of the mothers went along and assisted-thus clistributing the
responsibiiity and work, which enablett the aclults
as well as the girls to have a good time. We also
thank the mothers who procured our provisions
for us. Such cooperation is appreciated and heios
make scouting enjoyable.
During the summer months we do not have regular meetings but plan actiyities that the girls
enjoy.
In.June we had a picnic at F.airgrounds park_
this was during the street car strike, therefore we
had to go some place near home.
August 2 has been set as the day for our swimming party at University City pool,
Also during August we plan to have a uight at
the baseball park to see the Cardinals-up to thls
time the date has not been set.
Thursday, September 4, we will again start oul
weekly meetings. We nneet every Thursday at
7:00 and closeat g:00.
We have a large group, but each year there are
a few who do not return,. and while we do not
know how many new ones we can take in this
fall, we can only take new members September 4
and 11th, so if there is anyone who would like ro
join our ranks please be present either one of
these evenings and if possible we will take you
into the troop-that
all depends on how large our
troop is this fall and how many workers ve have.
We cannot admit the girls to the troop if we cannot get adults to assist. We are in need of workers.
If you can Bossibly spare Thursday evening to
assist us in this worth while work and make it
possible to continue Troop 67, please come to our
first meeting September 4, or call Helen Schuster,
EVergreen 4627 or Ette Smith, EVergreen b2?1.
