After this. a comm ,ttee, with Rev.
DR.. J. c. Moser, OF Hickory, and Prof.
X. L. Fritz, of Lenoir College. as presi-
dent and secretary, respectively, made
the following recommendations:
The educational work Of the Luth-
eran Church in North Carolina should
be completely organized and co-Ordi-
mated. We need one or two colleges
doing genuine college work and a suf-
fcient number Of preparatory or fitting
schools which shall be embraced in our
school system SO as to do their own
work ana also serve as feeders to the
central colleges. Our educational work
as now constituted, consists of Lenoir
college, which is owned and operated
by the Tennessee Synod, and the North
Carolina Collegiate institute, and
Mount Amoena Seminary, which are
owned and controlled by the North
Carolina Synod; and also Of CASTOR
College, private enterprise recognized
by the Tennessee Synod, and Elizabeth
College. private enterprise recognize
ed by the United Synod. We recon-
mend that for the present, these
schools make every effort to work to-
gether peacefully and tremendously
and that our people patronize these
schools in preference to those outside
our territory.
"Co-operation in mission work is
only in contiguous and
overlapping territory. Neither body
shall start mission in a town or a
community which has been pre-occu-
pied by the other body We recommend
hat members of either body who re-
side in or more into the vicinity OF |
church or mission Of the other, be ad- !
used to connect themselves with it.
The executive committees of the |
Wo bodies shall hold joint meetings
rom time to time at the call of either
,r both of the presiding officers of
hese executive committees in order to
provide for the establishment and
maintenance of joint missions to at
end to all other matters pertaining to
he cooperation mission work of the
wo bodies
