Dear Members and Friends:
	A little more than four hundred years ago it was very dangerous publicly
to confess Jesus Christ in many sections of Europe.
	In the city of Basel, Switzerland, a man by the name of Martin became 
convinced that Jesus was the only Redeemer for mankind.  So one day he wrote out
this confession: "O most merciful Christ, I know that I can only be saved by the
merit of thy blood.  Holy Jesus, I acknowledge they sufferings for me.  I love
Thee, Jesus, I love Thee."
	Then Martin of Basel went to work and removed a stone from the wall of his 
house and hid that writing in there, and placed the stone back in its place.  Nobody 
ever sw him do that; nobody knew that he had done anything of the kind.
	A hundred years later, when workmen were repairing that house, they found 
that old writing and read it with great curiousity.
	But at approximately the same time that Martin of Basel was hiding his 
profession of faith, another Martin, Martin Luther was standing before kings and 
potentates, saying: "My Lord Jesus Christ has confessed me before men, and was willing 
to die for me.  I will not shrink from confessing Him before kings, even though they 
take my life."
	As far as service for Jesus Christ was concerned the influence of Martin of 
Basel amounted to nothing-he hid it under a bushel, but the public profession of Martin 
Luther set going the Protestant Reformation and that influence has since changed the 
history of mankind.
	Jacob Albright followed in the footsteps of Martin Luther in founding the 
Evangelical Church.  If he had hid his convictions we would not, as people, be permitted 
to celebrate the eightieth anniversary of this church.
	The church has stood for eighty years on the corner of South and Barstow streets, 
proclaiming to the people of Waukesha that Jesus Christ is Saviour and King.
	You have done a great work; you have won great friendships and your memories have
been enlarged and enriched through serice in this Church.  Words are inadequate to express 
our sincere appreciation of your kindness, your faithful co-operation, your esteem and 
regard beyond our worth, in your support of this institution.
	May grace, mercy, peace and blessings manifold attend your ways even now and 
forever more.

Cordially yours,
Carl L. Duft, Pastor
