Local minister serves as convention delegate Continued from Page 1B took the microphone and started speaking against the merger, saying 'God is against the he said. "His microphone was turned off about 10 seconds into his harangue, and then he continued to holler, even with the microphone off. "So, it was at that point the delegates began clapping to drown him out," Mims said.

"After the convention was adjourned for lunch, the police arrested Soulberg, and there were no more disruptions." Mims that the church was divided by the settlement of early Lutherans, and not by doctrine. Germans would settle in one area, Swedes in another, and different churches developed because of this, he said. "The Lutheran Church in America is primarily German in background with 3.5 million members, while the American Lutheran Church is primarily Scandinavian in background with 2.5 million Mims said. "The Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches split off from the Missouri Synod, and they have about 110,000 members. "With the merger, the religion won't change at all, because all these groups hold the same beliefs and use the same service," he said.

"And South Carolina will be affected the least of any area in the country." The church will be different in that it will have 64 synods instead of 33 like it has now, Mims said. For example, in Pennsylvania, where there is a heavy concentration of Lutherans, there are three synods. After the merger, effective Jan. 1, 1988, there will be seven. "We belong to the South Carolina Synod and that will not Mims said.

"Each change," synod will have roughly 250 congregations." Orangeburg Lutheran Church will be affected "very little," Mims said, but it will have to draft a new constitution for its congregation. "The average person in the pew will not be affected by the merger that much," he said. "You see, the churches never disputed over beliefs. The difference between the bodies was how we governed ourselves." Mims compared the Lutheran merger to that of Wade Hampton and Willington academies, saying, "We will all be part of the same church and will work' more efficiently toward our goal, which is to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ." In addition to the merger, Mims said, the convention acted upon recommendations toestablish a closer relationship with the Roman Catholic Church, the Presbyterian Church USA and the Reform Churches. "At the large worship service during the convention, James.

Crumley, bishop of the Lutheran Church of America, gave communion to the Archbishop of Canterbury," he said. "This was really a step forward, and a very moving experience that we shared holy communion in that way." Overall, Mims said he is content with the merger and expects it to strengthen the church nationwide. "I am not pleased with every aspect of the proposal, but when you consider that the commission for a new Lutheran Church is trying to please 5.3 million people, I do not expect to agree with all of it," he said. "I feel that overall, the commission has done a commendable job." Bowman farmer has bales and bales of his hay to sell Continued from Page 1B about the price." Easterlin produced just over half of a normal crop, or about 3 tons per acre. Hundreds of square bales are stacked in a large shed a and 40 round bales sit on trailers and on the ground around the building.

"We don't have animals and we grow everything to sell, but this year only a few of our regular customers have called us," he said. "I can't blame farmers for wanting to get all the free hay they can but what are the local hay producers supposed to do until it runs out?" Dave Howe, chairman of the Orangeburg County division of the Clemson Extension Service, agreed the free hay has affected local sales but predicted the effect will be short-term. "We need lots of hay to get through the winter and the average producer is only going to end up with about one-third of his needs," he said. "We have three large and a number of smaller hay dealers in Orangeburg County and they need to hold on to it because their time is coming." Howe estimated approximately 600 tons of free hay have been distributed this summer. He said there are 17,100 adult beef and dairy cattle in Orangeburg County, each of which consumes an average of 3 tons of feed per year.

"Using that, we need about 52,000 tons of hay here to feed our cattle for a year," Howe said. "The 600 tons we have received is about 1 percent THE GARDEN SPOT 1717 N.

AND ACCESSORIES of our needs, so I think there will be a market come winter." He predicted that hay will become scarce in January, February and March.

Easterlin said he has had a few requests from farmers who are stocking up for the winter but most seem to be waiting. "Farmers simply have short cash flow this year and it is taking money out of their pockets to buy feed," Howe said. "They are delaying buying it until they really need it." Easterlin said he can wait but 1986 has taught him a few lessons about the future. "The prices we get for what we grow do not make it worthwhile so I am going to cut down my acreage next year," he said. "If the government had never gotten in a few years ago and pushed us to produce all we could and buy more equipment and land, I don't think as many farmers would be facing what they are now," Easterlin said.

"The only real solution to the whole problem is cutting down supply or farmers doing it voluntarily," he said. "The ones who sold out have done alright but others who are still in are hurting."
