AGAINST ENDEAvoR SOCIETIES.
Lutheran synod Does Not Believe
Them HelpfI. to the Churches.

The German Evangelical Lutheran Synod
adjourned yesterday noon until tomorrow.
Professor G. Stoeckhardt continued his
theses on the doctrines of the church.
Three points of the doctrine were consid-
cred under the subject of "Prea ching and
Practice" Professor Stoeckhardt held each
congregation of the church to be a will
of itself; that Gods intention is for each
church to be governed by His word alone.
and that false doctrines should not be to-
Grated. The Lutheran Church is organizeN
much after the plan of the United States
government. Each congregation has SOW
ereign will and each is guided by Gods
will. The synod cannot prescribe rules of
doctrine dictate how services should
be held. The expression of the synod was
against Endeavor1 societies and other means
employed by other rchurches to increase
membership. 1t was held that the word
of God should be employed to build up the
kingdom of God. 1t was thought that there
should be but one organization in a con-
gregation, not organizations in the church
organization. Young people societies, when
designed to promote a study of the
Scriptures and increase an interest in the
church, are all right, but where the So
cieties are so conducted to flourish to the
detriment of the church, they are wrong.
The present custom of the Lutheran Church

FURNAS SWEEPER A SUCCESS.
Company Wants to Demonstrate 1t by
Keeping Several Streets Clean.

The new Furnas sweeper was publicly
tried yesterday Monument Place. The
trial was pronounced success by those
who witnessed it. The power to remove
the dirt is air thrown by swiftly revolving
fan. The machine has an apron that sets
within 1ve-sixteenths of an inch of the
pavement A current of air is thrown on to
the pavement and counter current sucks
the dirt up into the machine. AS the dust
passes upward it encounters spray of
steam, which mixes with it and causes it
to settle into a receiver, from which it is
dumped at regular intervals. In this way
there is no dust thrown into the air, and
the pavement is left perfectly clean and
dry, obviating the necessity of sprinkling.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Furnas appeared
formal request "i to be allowed to give the
machine a full test on the streets. He
asked that certain downtown streets, in
Guiding Washington street, be set aside
for his machine to clean at no expense to
