LUTHER LEAGUE EVENT
MEETING WILL BE HELD
AT FORT WAYNE
Dates Are July 13 to IS; Import
ant Gathering of This Big
Society

Since the Luther League Of Amer
lea last met in national convention it
has seen one of its highest hopes
fulfilled in the merging of three
major Lutheran bodies into the Unit
ed Lutheran church.
This organization always unity
largely instrumental, though unoffi-
cially. in bringing about this union
and It Is expected that at their TWEEN
ty-ffth anniversary convention In
Fort Wayne. Ind, July 13 to 15
there will be a great utilization over
the unity of the three bodies.
The Luther league has not been of
ficially responsible for the creation
and organization of the United Luth-
eran church in America. But for
twenty i've years the young people
Of these different bodies have met to-
sethsr, planned together, worked to-
church. The bonds of sympathy
which were developed through this
cooperation, 1t is claimed. have gone
tar toward breaking down differences
and making possible final union.
One of the most important ques-
tons to be discussed at the anniver-
sary convention will be the question
Of making the Luther> League the
official young peoples organization
of the United Lutheran Church in A
merica.
Rev. Brown President.
The young peoples organization
within the Lutheran Church are or
ganized along synodical lines. The
Norwegian church has its special or
ganization, of which Rev. J. N.
Brown of Austin. Mimi, is president
The Ohio synod, the Iowa synod and
the Augustana synod have their spec
ial organizations fully recognized and
sponsored by the synodical organi
cations.
It is felt in Luther League circles
that such official sponsorship of the
League by the United Lutheran
Church will give the young peoples
work In the body greater interest
and strengthen It both in members
and the effect Of its work.
Leading men in the United Luth-
Gran church have grown up in the
H. Knubel, first president of the
United Lutheran church, was one OF
the founders of the Luther league
when he was a young minister in
New York. Owing to stress of du-
ties he will be unable to address the
convention, but instead he will send
special message.
Hon. q. T.. Ebert, another i'm
portant figure in the organization of
the United Lutheran church and in
the larger Lutheran movements re-
presented by the National Lutheran
commission and the national Luth
feran council. has also been identi
fed with the Luther league move
ment for many years. He Is chair
man Of It's executive board and has
been publisher of the Luther League
Review since Its beginning.
While there has been some dis
cussion of federation Of the young
peoples organizations of the differ
emit Lutheran synods, 1t Is not expect
ed that any definite action will be
taken on the question at the coming
convention.
