SYNOD IN AN UPROAR
Hot Debate Among Swedish Lu'
theran Delegates Over
Secret Orders.
CHURCH BAN Is STILL IN FORCE
Closing Day of the jamestown
Meeting Attended by
Wild Scenes.

The relation of the church to secreI
soc eties caused q coloric discussior
in the Augustana synod of the Swed.
ish Lutheran church at jamestown
N. Y, yesterday. The constitution
of the church provides that ''no one
shall become a member of the church
Who belongs to a Masonic or 9th 7
secret or atheistic society" At the
session of the synod year ago a
committee was appointed to recon
mend any changes which might be
deemed advisable in the church con-
stitution, and DIR. Nj. c. Ranseen, OF
Chicago. chairman of this committee,
made his report yesterday recon-
mending that all reference to secret
societies be stricken from the creed
The discussion of the report be
came animated at once and bitter
speeches were made on both sides.
Finally Rev. Lindsom handed one of
the sP, P,akers a copy of the Fret
masons' Monitor and the speaker be-
gan to read.
That's a lie." cried Rev. c. E
Fossburg.
There was great confusion.
L move that the ballot be now
taken," said Rev. DR.. Swenson, who
had gained attention from the chair
while the house was in the greatest
turmoil.
IusInustion vigorously Resented.
Objections were made by many.
but the chair sustained the motion
and ordered the taking of the ballot
upon the proposition. During the
excitement of taking the ballot Rev
DR.. S. G.. Swenson said there might
be those who would cast more than
one ballot. The insinuation was Wig
orously resented, and the chair stated
it was the blackest libel that had
ever been cast on the members of the
synod. The vote was taken, however.
amid great confusion aud the chair
could with difficulty retain any kind
of order.
The result of the ballot was that the
proposed amendment was defeated by
vote of 81 to Il, thus leaving the
Objectionable clause in the church
creed and excluding from mem bership p
of any church within the denomina-
tion the members of any secret So
ciety.
This was the last work of the synod, :,
which closed in the usual form di-
rectly after the vote was taken to
meet on June y 1892. at some place
to be determined by the president of
the s. nod.

WOMEN'S ClVlCLEAGUE,
The Ladies Begin the Work of
City Improvement in
Earnest.

Spring being the time of woman's great
est activity in housekeeping, ETC., the
the time is at hand when the Woman's
Civic league can begin its practical work
of city improvement and the meeting
Friday was very busy and interesting
one.
Several new com mittees were appointed
such as press and lecture; streets and
premises; schools; tree and flower.
~ lecture on the work of village i'm
provement in this state is talked of for
| the near fu ;ure. The lecturer will be one
we'll known and very popular here, who
will help to stir up the civic enthusiasm
that is in the heart of every loyal citizen
OF Little Falls. 1t is earnestly desired
by the league that any woman interested
in making her home, her yard, her street.
her children's school and her city more
beautiful, will Join the league. We need
every earnest, ambitious home maker to
help along the good work.
At Fridays meeting a revised constit-
ution was also adopted and an Interesting
article on the work of St. Paul Civic
lea que was read. A cordial invitation is
extended to every woman interested to
attend the next meeting, the first Friday
in April.
The cemetery water supply committee
reported several estimates from wind
mill makers. The committee will have
an expert we'll driver examine the we'll
and the contract for the work will soon be
let. It is hoped that the cemetery lot
holders will feel new desire this spring
to plant trees. flowers and grass now
that constant water supply will keep
them green and fresh
In many smaller places than this the
cemetery is a real garden spot for beauty
and freshness. We have a pretty Gene
terry site and now we are to have good
water supply and competent care of the
grounds, The only other element necess-
airy to a beautiful cemetery is the person
al care and interest of those who hold the
lots, who surely ought to help in making
more beautiful the last resting place of
their loved ones.
While it is true that cemetery improve
ment is an important part of the leagues
work. It should be clearly understood
that it is by no means all the work.
Those who are not especially interested
in the cemetery will find that the league
is planning many other things to do, for
the scope of civic work is unlimited: it is,
a great whole, made up of many vital
parts. -. - JHR. -
