MUST End THURSDAY
The Norwegian Lutheran Synod Is
Hurrying Its Work.
MISSIONS DISCUSSED TO-DAY
Were Chosen According
to the Slate.

A disposition to work faster was mani
fest in to-day's sessions of the Norwegian
Lutheran Synod, for all business must be
transacted by tomorrow night. Home
and foreign missions We're considered this
morning after the devotional exercises
by the Rev. J.. Nordby. Lee, Ill. Presi-
dent Bjorge of the Minnesota district was
in the chair. Mission committee No. l
recommended that the church council be
given power to act with reference to the
Alaska mission as soon as reports had been
received from Teller. Regarding work
among Norwegians in Alaska, the COM
mittee urged that the three eastern dis
tricts be asked to aid the Pacific district.
Mission committee. No. 2, which has SUI
peryision Of the home mission work,
favored an appropriation of $500 for the
herbor missions in Christiania, Norway,
It being understood that those In charge
shall cooperate with the synod's lmml-
grant mission in New York. An appro-
priation of 1900 for the seamen's mission
in New York was recommended and 1T was
reported that a similar sum was required
at San Francisco. .s .. :. ~
Complaint was made that there was not
sufficient interest in the Utah mission,
which was reported to be doing excellent
work The Lutheran publishing house is
urged to set aside $500 for publishing
tracts for use among the Mormons.
The interest in the church extension
work was gratifying and the income had
increased by 5000. Thanks We're extended
by rising vote to GLAND Solheim and
the aged at Stoughton. Wis, and to j.
Scalen, who retires as treasurer.
A rising vote of thanks was also given
to the Rev, J. A: Ottesen. one of the IA
theirs Of the church who is prevented by
Illness from being present, for his mes
sage of cheer and encouragement.
Most of the morning was devoted to the
discussion of the advisability of estab-
fishing superintendent Of schools.
The program for the afternoon session
was the annual election. There will be
no election for the presidency as Presi-
dent Koren, who was elected three years
ago, serves for six years. The ticket

lions and which will be approved in its
entirety later this afternoon, is as fol-
