SISTER CHURCHES
MAY FORM UNION
Norwegian Lutherans Assemble
at Minneapolis Today to
Adjust Church Split

The annual national meeting of the
Norwegian Lutheran Synod was called
into session at Minneapolis yesterday
and the meetings will continue till
next Thursday evening. The meeting
promises to be the most important
and interesting in Lutheran church
circles ever held in America. Among
those from this county who are in at
tendance and will participate in the
deliberations are Rev. Thornell, pastor
of the Fifth street church in this city,
and Rev. Olson, pastor of the Frog
Lake church. S. A. Siverts, ST., and
Peter Peterson are delegates from
Morris and may 60 down tomorrow.
1t is expected that the principal sub
ject to come up for discussion will be
the amalgamation of the three divi-
sions of the church-the Synod. the
United Church and the Hauge's Synod.
The Norwegian Lutherans in Amer
I lea have for years been divided among
the three divisions of the church. The
differences have, not seemed of very
grave import to the ordinary lay mem
Der, but the theologians have stood
out firmly for which ever view they
happened to hold. The differences
have hinged more on a question of in
depreciation than on any serious diff
erence in fundamentals, and chiefly
concern the doctrines of conversion
and of predestination.
Since 1908 attempts have been
made at the annual meetings of all
three divisions to formulate some plan
whereby representatives could meet
on a common ground for the purpose
of adjusting matters and bringing all
Norwegian Lutherans together under
one head. At the meetings in 1912
resolutions were adopted aiming at a
satisfactory settlement of the diff
Guilty, and as all factions have steadi-
ly worked since with this sole object
in view, it is expected that this years
meetings will see the desired end.
Rev. Thornell will finish his post
graduate course at Luther college this
week and will participate in the or
dination ceremonies for some of his
classmates. He will remain in the
city till after the national meetings
adjourn after which he will return
to Morris and give all his time to
church work.

has six months on which to get onto
the land. He is well pleased with
his claim, and will have number of
good neighbors.
William Carlson, a Morris electri-
clan who drew number 462, failed to
60 out to hunt up a claim although
his chances for fine quarter were
excellent. Instead he has gone to
Mott, N. D., where he will work in
the Stewart electric light plant. He
stated he wasn't cut out for a farmer.
Sam Grove returned the first vf the
week from Minot to which place he
went in hopes of securing a good
''left over claim" but was disap-
pointed. He was told there were
some tracts left open to filing, but
there was so much water everywhere
that he became discouraged and did not
venture into the hills along the river
where the land might be had. Land
seekers were there by the wholesale
and new ones were arriving on every
train. Mr.. Grove remained at Minot
two days.

NOTED film TELLS
HISTORICAL FACTS
Opposition to Birth of a Nation
Fades when Educators Boost
Banned Picture

Much that was charged to be i'm
moral and shocking in the great photo
spectacle, "The Birth of Nation, I"
when it was first presented to the
public is now regarded as highly
valuable as a means of bringing out
remote historical fact in the events
prior to and during Civil war days.
In Chicago the picture was prohibited
at first but educators and ministers
urged the censor board to remove the
restrictions and the school children
saw it and learned an inspiring lesson.
The picture is coming to Morris next
week but what amount of opposition,
if any, will be developed is not
known. Manager Gaffneg expects
to put it on at the Strand, Morris
new play house, where a splendid
twenty-six piece orchestra will help
demonstrate the film as the pictures are
thrown on the screen. The sale of
seats have commenced. The demand
is increasing and the wise ones will
be getting theirs early. 60: Go 1 --
There are twelve thousand feet of
pictorial grandeur that go to make up
1.-THE Birth of a Nation" Some
idea of the intensity of action may be
gained when it is learned 14O, 900
feet of living pictures were taken in
making up the reels. This mighty
spectacle covers a wide range of
American history and touches only
the highest points of interest in
the events which led up to the
Civil war. Slavery is treated from
it's inception to it's abolition. Eigh-
teen thousand people and three thou
sand horses pass before the eye, and
the decisive battles of the Civil war
are reproduced in faithful detail.
Cities are destroyed. One enormous
battle field covers ten square miles and
ten thousand soldiers clash. In the
picture the spectator sees the war
start after being shown the causes !;
see generals play the desperate game
with human pawns; see the peace
agreement, Lincoln shot and then the
South thrown into a worse fate than
war. A horde of vengeful politicians
and grafters come upon the scene.
The poor negro is cajoled into
false understanding of his liberty and
is led to excuses by these scalawags
of fortune. The picture has made
men love and hate alternately. 1t
charms and thrills beyond belief, and
it stirs the patriotic impulses.
The play lasts two hours and forty
five minutes. 1t is intensely inter-
esting and is without doubt the best
picture film that will be shown
in this section of the country. Man
ager Gaffney entertains no hope of
realizing profit on the pictures in
Morris for the expenses of getting
it here are beyond expectations. The
producers of the film have permitted
its presentation in the larger cities
only where it has been possible to
give the play a several weeks run.
In some places tickets have sold as
high as eight and ten dollars per
seat. The prices in Morris has been
pressed down to so cents, $1.OO and
$3.50.

TWO YEARS TO CURE PARALYSIS
0rthopedic Treatment Necessary to
 Prevent Crippled Conditions.

New York, Aug. i6.-Children who have recovered from infantile par alysis and are being discharged from hospitals altho still suffering from the effects of the disease, Dr. Haven Emerson, health commissioner, de- clared tonight. require expert or thopedic treatment to escape be- coming cripples for life.
 The commissioner is optimistic of the recovery of the little patients with proper treatment, but he held out scant hope for a cure in less than two years.
 It was announced that twenty ounces of blood had been given to- day by two persons for the manu- facture of serum. One of the young women who recently gave her blood to help fight the disease was Miss Houston Scott, daughter of Maj. Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of the United States Army.
