Site of the Lutheran
Church May Be
Changed.
MORE ROOM NEEDED
The Question to Be Decided
BY the People of the
Society Tonight.

The Swedish Lutheran Church. on
Mulberry street, will probably take ac-
ton tonight upon the proposed change
of site. Some two weeks ago the
church council of the church met and
decided that it would be of benefit to
the welfare Of the church TO change to
a better location.
But there is an article in the bylaws
of the church, which says in black and
white that the church council cannot
act in matters which involve the eX-
penditure of over SIS without the con-
sent of the church body. So the coun-
Gil being thus handicapped, have rest
ed the question until tonight. when all
the members of the congregation are
requested to be present to consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of changing the site OF the
church
Every member will be asked to eX-
press his views upon the subject, ana
from the opinions of the people the
church council hope to find out if they
are acting as the church desires.
If the change in the site is the wish
of the church. it is expected that the
council will be empowered to go ahead
and act
The church which now stands on
Mulberry street and of which Rev. b.
j. Nystrom is pastor, has one OF the
largest followings of any of the Swed-
ish churches For a long time, how
ever. il has been thought desirable DE-
large number of the members to
change the location of the church. 1t
is now believed that the question will
be decided and another Swedish churcn
will branch out into new field.
