the Parent Organization.

The seeding members of the Luther
Place Memorial Church who Withdrew
from that organization several months
ago and formed the Independent LII
theran Church will be warmly welcomed
to the mother church if they desire TO re-
turn. Such was the message given out
by members of the older church after a
meeting with several of the officers last
night.
The meeting was held behind closed
doors, and at the finish several of the
members. though reticent as TO the dis
cussion INDUCED in during the session,
stated that the members of the lndepend-
ent Church would be welcomed back If
they desired to come as individuals. There
is hardly any likelihood that a public in
Vitation will be extended TO the members
of the younger organization to come back.
1t Is asserted by the officers of the
older church that as soon as the seeding
cation they lost all rights and privileges
in the church they left.
Rev. Charles III. Butler, son Of the late
pastor. was asked TO serve the pastorate
until a successor to his father is chosen.
The members Of the Independent Church
are refraining from any discussion as TO
whether they intend to come back TO the
Luther Place Church, and it is asserted
that they will not come unless they are
given public invitation
