Tuesday afternoon the convention of
the Lutheran Synod of Minnesota
closed. It had been in session contin-
uously since June Is and the days of
the convention will no doubt be re-
membered long by all the delegates as
days Of earnest work not only but also
of many pleasant incident.
The reports OF all the officers show
the Synod to be in a prosperous con-
dition and healthy and steady growth
is to be recorded. The treasurer's re.
port shows a marked increase of mon
les received. Rev. F. Koehler states
that during the fiscal year the receipts
were Sl3, 632. %; the expenses Sl3, l19. Is.
I The secretary's report shows the fol-
lowing memb ership: 80 ordained min
listers, 81 parishes, % parochial school
teachers and Is congregation which
are affiliated with the Synod but as yet
have not become full members. These
parishes are in charge of synodical
minister and will no doubt in course
of time take advantage of all induce.
ments and privileges of a parochial
synodical membership.
The Synod owns and supports in
connection with the other Synods two
prominent institutions of learning.
The DR.. Martin Luther College in our
city and the Theological Seminary at
Wauwatosa, Wis. The Synod OF
Minnesota proper, the Nebraska. Wis
consin, Michigan and Missouri Synod
constitute the general body known as
the Synodical Conference.
| Impressed by the superior advanta.
ges of our city, natural and otherwise,
and guided by economical as we'll as
| financial reasons the Delegates of the
Lutheran Synod of Minnesota decided
by an overwhelming vote to give New
| Ulm the preference over the rival
towns of Hutchinson and ST. James
and to have the DR.. Martin Luther
College remain permanently within
the walls of our beautiful City. Thus
a hard-fought battle was ended and 9
we'll deserved victory was won.
The outcome of the vote was, indeed
a great surprise not only to the Hut
Crimson Deleg alton and their friends,
but to all concerned. The vote stood
as follows: New Ulm 90: Hutchinson
9;.St. James 3; ST. Paul l; Minneapo
lis /; Saltwater /.
The Commercial Club of New Uln
deserves credit for the efficient work
they have rendered in this matter and
the effective campaign they have in
augurated previous to the meeting Of
!; the Synod.
i New Ulm has always been proud Of
the fact that an institution of learning
Of the great Lutheran Body had be-
come an integral part of our civil so
cial and intellectual life, and both the
i College authorities as we'll as the
| Synod at large can rest assured thai
the Commercial Club and the City will
make good on their promises regar.
ding the improvements which are ab.
solutely necessary for the College
property.
| This body carries on and supports
an extensive missionary work amongst
the Indians, Negroes and the people
of India.
