A rumor to the effect that Bishop
Won Scheele, who recently visited the
United States, will be chosen as the
| bishop Of the Lutheran Augustana
Synod of America has been circulated
in Sweden recently through the Stock
holm press. The venerable bishop has
fatty denied the existence Of such a
proposition. Furthermore, it is evil
dent that there is no sentiment with
in said organization in favor of the ap-
p0intment of any bishop, and if there
We're, a bishop would certainly be
chosen from among the rank and file
Of the 400 pastors, who belong to that
organization. Bishop Scheele is
SWede, not an American, and would in
the first place never consent to allow
his name to be used in that connec-
ton.
