EHRHARDT, April 25.-The Lutheran
conference spoken of last week met last
Thursday in the Lutheran church here
and closed last night. The business ses-
sions were held on Friday and Saturday.
Nearly all the churches that belonged to
the conference were ably represented by
pastors and delegates. Some questions of
importance to the establishment of Sun
day-schools and churches were discussed
by the various members of conference,
and it is hoped that in the near future
good results may crown the labors of
those who so earnestly gave such good
outlines of plans and methods.
The conference was well attended by
the people at large, and much interest
manifested in the workings of the church,
in the conference and in the advancement
of the Masters cause.

ner, of Augusta, Ca, delivered an inter-
