Meeting at GlenwoOd. Bishop
BOeckman Attends.

The Iowa district synod meeting
Of the Norwegian Lutheran church
at Rev. Scarves church in Glenwood
township which opened last We'd
nesday and closed last night, has
been a success in every way. There
has been a large attendance, and un-
usual interest has been taken in the
meeting, because of the fact that the
question of the union of the churches
was the one uppermost in the minds
of many of those in attendance. 1t
was put to a vote on Friday, and
carried by vote of 101 to Is.
Sunday was the big day of the
meeting and an immense crowd was
in attendance. Bishop Boeckman,
who arrived from Norway on Satur-
day, spoke in the morning from the
text of Follow Me-, to an audience
of over 1000 people, in large tent
provided for the meeting, and was
heard with great pleasure by the
wegian-Americans of this Sec
ton. After dinner the singers went
over to Rev. Scarves home and SER
enaded him.
In the afternoon the Winneshiek
County Sangerforbund, under the di-
rection of Prof. Carlo A. Sperati,
gave a concert that was listened to
with great pleasure by an immense
crowd, many going out from Decor
ah to hear both the sermon and the
concert. The music was a great treat
for all who heard it and was much
enjoyed.
