In view of the fact that the trial Of
the case against the old board of trus-
tees of Augsburg seminary has been
put off till Sept. Is next, Rev N c.
Brun, the president of the United
church board Of trustees of Augsburg
seminary, introduced the following:
Resolved, That the board of trustees of
Augsburg seminary be authorized to act ac-
eording to their best judgment in regard to
that institution.
Rev. Mr. Brun wanted this resolu-
ton passed, because there was the
faintest trace of a possibility that the
old board may conclude to confer with
the new board with a view to having
the difficulty settled without trial
Rev. A. Wright in a somewhat
humorous way, limited that the board
might obtain full possession of Augs-
burg seminary and 'sell tnr whole
concern" But Rev Mr.. Brun assured
him that no such thing would happen,
and the above resolution was passed
