The committee report showed that
81 per cent Of the congregations had
contributed nothing to the general
expense fund of the church. Over
1000 congregations had contributed
less than, they had been requested
to do.
The current expense fund conse-
quently shows a deficit of over S17,-
900.

Rev. S. ]. Numnudal Of Hudson,
S. D., pointed out that the budget as
presented, represented an increase
Of over $4,000 in excess Of last
years budget. He brought in a
resolution recommending that the
budget be referred to g. special COM
mittee to consider in what way the
budget may be reduced. Rev. R. J.
Meland spoke in the same general
direction.
Prof. L. w. Boo, executive secre-
tary Of the board Of trustees, main
tanned that the church was up
against. this proposition. Either vote
the budget or decide to not do the
work we have been doing and expect
to do. He showed how the expense
of the work had increased on ac-
count of the war. One item alone
involves thousands Of dollars, name
ly exchanging money in China. He
urged strongly the adoption Of the
budget, or a definite decision to re-
trench our activities by calling
home foreign missionaries.

SECOND IN WORLD
In One Month Growth Was
AS Great AS During
First Year of War
(Rv Associated Press. }

Washington, June 10.-The steady
growth of the American merchant
marine in all classes Of vessels was
revealed for thefirst time since the
war began in Statistics from the
department Of Comferce, showing
that in the first five months Of this
year there have been built in this
country and officially numbered by
the bureau OF navigation a total Of
629 vessels Of 1910 gross tons.
The merchant fleet Of the u. S.
now amounts to approximately TO-
merchant craft under control Of the
supply ships. At the beginning Of
january, 26,742 merchant vessels of
9.343,224 gross tons were flying the
Stars and Stripes on trips across
the Atlantic with food and NUM-
tons, into the Caribbean and Pa
cific with American products for for
eign customers and on the lakes and
rivers of this country as part Of the
nations domestic transportation sys-
tenn.
This tremendous fleet is second
only to the merchant tonnage of
Great Britain. 1t includes all the
new vessels built under the direction
of the shipping board and thousands
OF smaller craft.
There has been steady increase
in new ships this year, the May ton
mage being three times as great as
the January output. In the first
month of 1918 there were 81 ships of
68s796 tons given official numbers. In
February "a ships of 117.6O1 gross
tons were numbered

Today the Norwegian Lutherans
assembled in convention at the audi
forum are discussing the school
problems Of their synod. One of the
most knotty Of these problems Is
the South Dakota situation. South
Dakota has two schools-Augustana
college and Sioux Falls Lutheran
nOrmal-located only % miles apart.
Augustana college Is a Junior college
with a normal department. Sioux
Falls normal school is a professional
school with g. full high school course
and two years Of college work. The
common opinion is that they are too
near each other and that they cover
practically the same ground. The
board OF education has therefore rec
commended that the two be CONSOLE
dated under the name Augustana
college and normal school. The To-
cation of the consolidated school is
to be referred to the annual conven-
ton now in session for decision. The
ablest representatives on the fac
ulties and boards Of the two schools
have met for, the final combat. The
alumni and former patrons Of the
two institutions are on the spot
ready to plead and to vote for their
favorite school. Excellent souvenir

The work Of the Luther Union"
was endorsed and warmly recon-
mended. Pres. H. c. Holm, OF the
Iowa district, suggested that this en-
terprise be managed without any Of
fetal connection with the church
body. DIR. Stub urged that the work
be permitted to be carried on along
the lines outlined last year when
the union was organized. The Luth-
eran Synod Of Missouri has such an
organization which has been sue
cessful.
Editor TIL. Eggen, president Of the
directors of the Luther Union, stated
that he would be pleased to take the
matter up with Pres. Holm and
others If 1t were desirable.
s. H. Holstad, who will manage the
work Of the union from July Is,
favored the dissemination Of all pos
sible information relative to the I'M
.
let us consider 1t further this year.
A committee of FIVE to consider the
matter was suggested.
The committee on finances re-
ported through its secretary, Rev. H.
J. Glen.
The general financial condition
within the church is Satisfactory.
The budget adopted last year has not
been exceeded The debt has not
been completely wiped out because
some subscriptions have not been
paid. Many legacies have been re-
ceived. A resolution was adopted
disappearing the practice Of carry
ing on larger collections throughout
the church body unless it has
previously been authorized or ap-
proved by the proper authorities.
The church body furthermore re-
fuses to assumed debts acquired by
various institutions operating and
extending their work without the ap-
prevail of the church at-large or the
district within which they work.

committee was interposed at this

the schools have been printed by
both factions and are freely distri-
buted to everybody. 1t is a trying
moment. Which side shall win?
Augustana college was founded in
1850 at Chicago by the Swedish and
Norwegian Lutherans. In 1853 it
was moved to Paxton. H.. and in
1859 the Norwegians moved out by
friendly agreement with the swedes
and founded their school at Mar
shall, Wis. In 1881 through the eff
forts of Hon. J. NJ. Vail the school
was moved to a more central loca-
tion, at Canton, S. D. 1t has had a
very flourishing career under Presi-
dents M. D. Miller, L. A. Vigness, c..

Glasoe. Prof. TIVE was its head for
26 years and distinguished himself
in many ways. He made it pay it's
way WITHOUT costing the church any
thing. He secured for it's graduates
the same privileges as the graduates
Of the state school Of like grade

Bible Schools.

Resolutions were adopted approx
ing the establishment Of Bible
schools in the various districts OF the
church body, either independently or
In connection with other schools,
such as the academies and colleges.
Rev. o. Ingvoldstad Of Chicago, to-
gether with the pastors OF Chicago
have made preparations for the es-
adjustment Of a permanent Bible
school in Chicago. A successful ex-
pertinent in that field has already
been made by those pastors.
Walter Larson. member Of the
church council and inspector Of rural
schools Of Wisconsin, spoke from a
layman's point OF view. He gave-his
hearty support to the movement and
urged individuals and congregations
to send their young people to these
institutions.
The committee Of inspection shall
consist OF the district president and
the lay member OF the church coun-
Gil.
The larger cities were designated
as the places where such schools
preferably should be located
The church body expressed its APP
probation of the loyal support OF the
Young Peoples league.
1t was resolved that a committee
be appointed to study the language
situation and make recommendation
tending toward the solution Of that
vexing question.
Steps were taken to arrange to
avoid friction between our church
body and the representatives of other
Lutheran church bodies. particularly
on the mission fields.
1t was also resolved that in case
pastors have not submitted their an
nual parochial reports by The 18th
OF March. the names of such pastors
shall be published in the official pa
pers Of the church. It was reported
that several pastors have not turned
in their parochial reports at all.
The secretary, Rev. Mr.. Lohre,
was instructed to issue "a church
handbook.
The church council shall In CO.
operation with the secretary revise
the roll of pastors of the church.
A resolution was passed recon-
mending the establishment Of Bible
school courses at our academies,
where such arrangement is practic-
able.
Rey. e. B. slettedahl OF Seattle,
Wash. spoke OF the work OF the
seamen's missionary. The city of
Seattle has been growing by leaps
anu tDOunQSs AT, present eLn9rS are
contracts for ships to the sum of
$3.50 100000 The seaman mission
aries work is largely concerned with
the spiritual and financial protection
of the seaInen on the ships in port
and on the streets OF the city.
DR.. Stub read a communication
from certain local missionary So
ciety in Seattle. This society re-
quests that our church body discon-
tinue its work among the seamen OF
Seattle. The information was given
by DR.. Stub that our church has
carried on this work for a number Of
years in corporation with the
church of Norway President FossI
OF the Pacific district announced the
Sloan mission is not really a rep
resentative Lutheran mission, nor
was 1t established as seaman's mis-
sion, but originally as a slum mis-
sion.

Hon John Isaacson have raised
$4,000 for the school. The school
belonged to the united church from
1890 to June l., 1917, when 1t was
transferred to the Norwegian Luth-
eran church then just organized.
Sioux Falls normal school was
founded in 1889 by the Norwegian
Synod as a normal school for the
training Of parochial and public
school teachers. The presidents
have been A. Mikkelsen, q. J. Ordal
and H. s. Htlleboe, all men Of wide
experience, ability and reputation
The school has had a splendid rec
ord. 1t has graduated about \ 400
teachers, most Of whom have taught
or are still teaching. 1t has a. fine
plant valued at over 100000 with
funds amounting to $4,000. It has
a bright future.
The friends Of Augustana want to
see the consolidated school located
at Canton. The friends of the nor
NAL want to see it at Sioux Falls.
Some are neutral, wanting to see
both schools develop along the lines
they are now pursuing and at their
present locations. The discussion
will be unusually interesting and the
vote will have far-reachfng results.

Saturday Afternoon.

Vice President Kildahl presided.
The question of whether the theo-
logical professors shall also serve
congregations was discussed and
strongly opposed by DR.. Stub and at
his suggestion referred back to the
committee.
Rules were adopted for the sus-
pension from membership in the
church body. 1t applies to pastors
who are utterly incompetent or un-
worthy OF the Office and the sus-
pension may be carried out by the
president Of the district involved to-
gether with the lay member Of the
church council within the same dis
trict and the president Of the church
body at large.
The pastor thus suspended can ap-
peal to the district to which he be-
longs. The district alone can expel
pastor. However. the loyal con-
gregation alone has the power to
depose a pastor.
Pastors entering another vocation
are dropped from the roll Of the pas
tors Of the church body.
