SYNOD VOTES TO
CONVENE HERE
Decides to Hold 1910 Session
in Rock Island Instead of
Rockford as Planned.
TURNS DOWN AMENDMENTS
Recommendation of Committee on
Women's Franchise and Secret
Societies Put on Table.

Special dispatches received this af-
ternoon by The Argus state that the
Augustana synod of the Lutheran
church. in session at Red Wing. Mimi,
today voted to hold the 1910 session in
Rock Island, instead of Rockford as
had been planned The original plan
was to hold the session here, but it
was decided, in view of the prepare
lions for the jubilee celebration of
Augustana college, that Rockford could
better entertain the convention than
this city could, and Rock Island with
drew from the contest for the honor of
entertaining the session. Now it. ap-
pears that the synod has on its own
account determined to convene here
at the time of the jubilee. and of course
the local churches and the city in gen
eral will make ample preparations to
welcome the delegates, who through
modesty were not urged to come here.
Table RecommendntiO
The advlces from Red Wing state
also that the synod tabled the recon-
mendations of the special committee
regarding the Acknowledgement of wo-
men in church affairs, and forbidding
membership in any secret society. The
committee recommended very strict
regulations in regard to secret socie-
ties, and also proposed to exclude wo-
men from having voice in the church
government.
Held Meeting Here.
1t will be remembered that the spe-
cial committee prepared its report at
a secret session at Augustana college
some months ago. Under the action
of the synod, the liberal New Britain
constitution, adopted in 1907, stands.
These two subjects have been at the
bottom of a serious controversy in the
church for several years. and at re-
cent sessions of the synod the element
favoring a liberal attitude has con-
trolled the situation.
