SYNOD IN PROGRESS
Lutheran Clergy of the State
Convene in Denison.
DISCUSS DOCTRlNAL MATTERS
Synod Will Last Until August 2sth
Report of Proceedings Furnished
by Rev. Brueggeman.

The Iowa district of the German
Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Miss
iouri,. Ohio and other states is conven-
ing in Denison from Aug. % to Aug.
%. Before the sessions began an
opening service took place in which
the vice-president of the synod of
Missouri, Rev. C. C. Schmidt pastor
of large congregation in st. Louis,
Mo-, preached an able and interesting
sermon on Jno. g. 5000.
Wednesday afternoon the synod as
sembled for the first session. The
president of the Iowa district, Rev.
Ottoman Cloeter of Adair, Iowa, after
short and earnest exhortation to the
assembled body gave resume of the
duties performed by him during the
previous years. Also a number of
committees were appointed by him to
perform the various duties incidental
to such sessions. A number of young
pastors were upon application accept
ed into membership Of the synod.
During the session on Wednesday
afternoon Rev. Stoddard. representa-
tive of the National Christian Associa-
ton gave an interesting and very en-
Tightening talk on the evil of secret
societies. The audience, consisting
of about 200 persons, counting the
pastors, teachers and lay delegates
listened attentively throughout the
able discourse.
The morning sessions will as usual
almost completely be given TO relig-
ious and doctrinal discussion. Rev.
Martin Wonder Au will kindly furnish
a treatise, treating on the age, the
miracles and the life of Elisha the
prophet. No doubt the treatise will
be sufficient incentive to all present
to listen attentively and will furnish
ample opportunity for discussion.
The most important business matter
before the synod is to carefully look
into the mission work performed under
the supervision of the Iowa district.
The Synod of Missouri etc. has an ex-
tensive and expensive mission work to
supervise in many fields. Under its
supervision mission work is carried on
among the Indians in Wisconsin,
among the negroes throughout the
south, among the German emigrants
in South America, especially in Bra
iii, Argentine Republic, etc., among
the heather in East India, and among
the many and widely scattered Ger
mans throughout the United States and
Canada. To all of these various mis-
sions the Iowa district bestows its
share of solicitude and assistance.
The most earnest consideration, how
ever, will be given to the mission
work among the Germans within the
state of Iowa.
The election of officers for the en-
suing triennium will also take place
during these sessions, Rev. o. Cloeter
enjoying the full confidence of the
synod has for six years been president
of the Synod and chairman at the
sessions. A number of services will
be held at the Lutheran church during
the synod. The German Lutherans
OF Denison have most gladly furnished
entertainment for the pastors, teach
ers and lay delegates.
