In the current issue of "The Sword and Trowel," an attractive six-page monthly paper published in the interest of Grace English Lutheran church at Casper, Wyoming, of which the Rev. Charles S. Bream is pastor, the Rev.

Mr. Bream pays a fine tribute to the late Rev. Dr. Joel Swartz, pastor 40 years ago of St. James Lutheran church, Gettysburg.

The Rev. Mr. Bream is from Gettysburg, being a son of Harvey D. Bream, and a graduate of Gettysburg college with the class of'lOlO. The Rev.

Mr. Bream's tribute to Doctor Swartz follows in full: My Pastor "How well do I remember that beautiful picture! There stood the Man of God. His eyes were aglow with the joy and inspiration of his message. On his face there shone, interwoven with the kindliest of smiles, the radiance which could have proceeded from no other source than Heaven itself. His hair, streaming down into his flowing beard, was a mass of waving light, white as snow and lustrous as burnished silver.

"I wm too young to undei-stand much that he said. But I knew it was holy ground to sit before him. And when I looked up to my Mother's face, the lines of care had vanished as she watched him. And my Father's face had lost the sharp lines of fatigue from blistering toil, as he listened to this Man of God. "He came into our home one day.

He came many times, but this, time was a Day. My little brother was to be baptised. The stately parlor was opened for the occasion. "I stood silently by and watched the Man of God lay his hands on my little brother's head. And then I listened to the prayer.

Our pastor talked beautifully, so intimately with God, that when the prayer was ovci-, I felt angels had been there, and I looked quickly to see if my little brother was still there, or if the angels had taken him with them! "God has given me other memories since then which I hold sacred. But none of them shine more faithfully in my soul with inspiring and undimmcd radiance, than the memory of the Man of God, my pastor, Dr. Joel Swartz." Ancnl the proposal to hold a joint reunion of Union and Confederate veterans of the Civil War at Washington, which many persons in public life feel ought to be held in Gettysburg, instead, as holding more interesting memories for those who would attend, the (Continued on Second Page) California justice has set out on a I jj Hanover General hospital from mg out of the deaths of Mrs. Eliza- voyage through uncharged legal seas pern i 0 us anemia, her brother, Rob- Hersh, New Oxford, and Mrs. as it undertook to determine Hick- ert Earner, 17, grammar school pupil John E.
