The Special annual Conference of
the Norwegian Lutheran Church OF
America, in convention assembled in
the Auditorium at Fargo, N. D.,
June 9th to 18th, 1918, expresses
its sincere and warm loyalty to our
country and the administration In
this critical time of war. As true
citizens of this country we share with
undivided hearts its veal and woe.
We are persuaded, that those who
are administering the affairs of this
nation have not entered into the war
thru selfh motives, not lust OF con-
quest, not in order to subdue or sub
jugate other nations, but have done
so in the name of justice and right
eousness, and in the interests OF true
democracy. For this reason the
members of our Church body stand
back of the National administration
with hands uplifted in supplicating
to the throne of the Almighty, that
righteous and worthy cause may
be carried on to victory. And we do
promise through these serious days
which now confront Us, not only as
Christians to bring the cause of u
.people. the cause of the administra-
ton, the army on land and the navy
at sea before Almighty God in u
petitions, but also to take our full
share of responsibility in all demands
made by the admfstration upon the
citizens of this country, in order that
the wars aim, namely, the liberation
of the oppressed and the bringing of
a as well to the small as to the
greater nations, may be secured.
But, however much we are con
vipced that the cause for which our
nation now is ~contending is Alright
eous one, yet, at the same time we
do also humbly confess that, because
of the sins of our nation, we deserve
severe chastisement. and that it be-
comes us to acknowledge u short
comings, asking God for His Mercy
and pardon.
God grant that this fearful war
may teach the people to bend the
knee before Him to Whom b~elongeth
the power and the glory forever.

All the madness Of the war
Graz d mind of The kaiser, all the
viclousness of the crimes perpe
trated in his name and under his
orders, are shown IN this picture
with a vividness at once horrible
and thrilling. The sacking of Lou
vain is reproduced with infinite at
tention to detail, Immediately after
the first scenes OF the film showing
Belgium in time of peace.
The decoration of the commander
OF the u boat which sank the
Lusitania is shown and he is later
shown as insane, seeking out the
c~owarGice in the heart OF the kaiser
when he describes to him how the
hands of drowning children are
reaching for him constantly, +.
The visit Of Ambassador Gerard
to the kaiser when the kaiser tod
him that Germany would stand no
nonsense" from America after the
war, brought vigorous applause.
Mr. Gerard is depicted as smiling
and bowling when the kaiser makes
the statement, and, as be bows. re
touches the tiny metal flag in his
coat lrpel and smiles.
The downfall of Berlin and i'm
prisonment of the kaiser closes the
picture, through which runs a small
tragic story of the love of a young
Belgian girl, the destruction OF her
home and the death of her fiance.

Improve ments

improvements
During the past year the library
grounds have been improved by
having the trees trimmed, the
ground graded and reseeded, which
gives the exterior a much more at
tractive appearance.
In the fall the Red Cross made a
request that a large DON in the
basement be fitted up FOR their use.
This was done by having the walls
tinted, woodwork reinished and
hardwood floors laid in the large
room and hall. The Carpenter
Union donated the labor of laying
the floors.
We are indebted to the manual
training department for three sec
tions of shelving which they fur
nished the material for, made and
placed in the adult reading room.
