“One of the difficulties against which the Lutheran Church has contended unsuccessfully for many years has been the inclination of the young people of both sexes to leave the church after confirmation. … the reason that is is so is that Lutheranism has not only lost a proportion of those who forsake the Church entirely, but it has lost a far larger number of those who do not understand the foreign tongue used in the large portion of Lutheran churches.” (The New York Times, August 13, 1898)
