eran Churches Hold Annual
Meetings i'm Minneapolis
and st. Paul.

weg1an SYNOD church opened last
Wednesday, June 18th, in lions
church at Minneapolis. Rev. o. P.
Vangsness, president of the Iowa
district, opened with prayer. DR..
H. G.. Stub, president of the Synod
made speech of welcome to the

ing. The North Side Commercial
Club donated to the Synod the use
of their building for committee

opened Wednesday afternoon, with
DR.. H. G.. Stub president, at the
Zion church which was filled. I'M
portant questions were discussed
with reference to the Park Region
Luther College and the Lutheran
Normal School,, and great interest
was also shown in the report of the
missionaries in China, Africa etc.
The greatest question of all was in
regard to the uniting of the United
Lutheran Church, the Hauge Synod
and the Norwegian Synod Commit
tees from each of the churches have
been chosen and will meet in the
near future and take up the ques-
tion of uniting. Invitations from
Sioux Falls, S. d. for the next meet
ing place were received. The Luth-
er Normal School of that place is to
celebrate its 25th anniversary next
year and asked the Synod to join
them. 1t was decided to hold a
meeting in San Francisco in 1915.
Special railroad rates and other in
ducements were offered by the Pa
cific Coast district. All the presi-
dents of the districts whose terms
had expired were reelected. 1t. is
proposed to establish a pension fund
of 100000 for retired ministers,
ministers widows and orphans.
The meeting was attended by minis
ters and delegates from all over the
country and the results were eager
ly awaited by Norwegian people.
The annual meeting of the Unit
ed Lutheran church has also been
in session in st. Paul the past week.
Five hundred ministers and two
thousand lay delegates have been
in attendance. Rev. Nils Arveson Of
st. Olaf, Iowa, preached the open
ing sermon, and in the afternoon
Rev. T. H. Dahl of Minneapolis,
president of the organization, gave
his address, and the evening session
was devoted to home missions, with
Rev. Olaf Guldseth of Minneapolis,
secretary of the home mission board,
the main speaker. On Sunday "a
students of the United church semi
nary in Minneapolis were ordained.
Many prominent speakers have ad-
dressed the meeting, and much busi-
ness of importance has been transac-
ted. The chief point of discussion
was the proposed union of the three
Norwegian church bodies, and the
celebration of the twenty-fifth ami
versary of the church in 1915. A
gift of $4,000 by j. j. Hill, con-
tingent upon raising 100000, was
announced. Already $151,000 of
the amount has been raised. The
sessions will continue until tomor-
row.

As one who supremely respects woman
hood and who looks forward to new and
blessed era for humanity through woman's
emancipation, I would like to say word
in defense of the so-called Suggestive" gar
ments.
To me it seems almost incredible that
ordinarily decent, respectable, God-fearing
men should have the hardihood to denounce
all women who wear such skirts as wantons,
when surely everybody knows that multi
tudes of as good and modest women as can
be found anywhere use these tight-ftting
