100 ATTENDING
CHURCH MEETING
SOUTH DAKOTA DISTRICT OF MIS-
souri, SYNOD, EVANGELICAL
LUTHERAN CHURCH IN
ANNUAL MEETING.

belmont, S.. D.-The Evangelical
Lutheran Synod of the South Dakota
District of the Missouri Synod is at
present ~convening at belmont, S. d..
Opening services We're held Wednes-
day morning. June 9th, conducted by
Rev. Wieting of belmont. h ser
MOI proper being delivered by Rev.
Hilgendorf, vice president of the
Missouri Synod. In the afternoon the
president of the District, Rev. j. ID.
Ehlen, addressed the delegates.
The sessions are attended by about
one hundred delegates, who during
their stay will be the guests of the
members of Rev. Wieting's parish.
The field of the S. Oak. District is
worked by fifty three pastors and
missionaries, while eight professors
are teaching in the p%arochial schools
Although his field is comparatively
new. evident progress has been made
additional workers being called as
soon as they can be provided for.
The Lutheran church is the Moth
err church of Professionalism. Protest.
antism as an organized ecclesiastical
movement dates its origin from the
publication CT the Augsburg Confess
sion June %, 1880. And this Anes-
burg Confession which was wholly
Lutheran laid the doctrinal founda-
ton of all the later protestant church
eS.
The Lutheran church is an educa-
tional church. To this day the church
maintains a complete and harmon
ious system of christian education
from parish school to college and
seminary. In the one synod alone
colioquially called the Missouri Sy-
nod, there are owe 1000 parish
schools in session five days of the
week. A distinctive feature is that
preponderingly the teachers are men
They are trained in the fine normal
schools at Chicago and Seward.
For the training of its pastors and
for advanced education of its .<youns
people this synod has colleges and
seminaries from New York to San
Francisco. and from st. Paul to New
Orleans. Its Concordia Seminary OF
st. Louis has the distinction OF being
one of the largest if not the largest
divinity school of the entire country
and of all denominations.
In point of numerical strength the
Lutheran church is the largest Pro
y testant body in the world. while in
the U. S. it ranks third. DIR. Carol,
the U. S. statistician for a recent
census, asserts that in twenty years
the Lutheran growth was 115 pei
:, cent. The second largest growth was
that OF the Roman Catholic church
with 80 per cent.
