THE LUTHERAN CONVENTION
AT MINNEAPOLIS

The general convention of the Nor
wegian Lutheran Church of America,
held in the Minneapolis Armory last
month, was a we'll attended and very
interesting meeting. Special interest
seemed to attach to the following three
questions: the change of name, the
National Lutheran Council and the
budget.
Many favored changing the name of
the denomination from "The Norwegian
Lutheran Church of America" to THE
United Lutheran Synod, but the oppo-
sition won out The question was sub
jected to long and lively debate, and
there can be no doubt but that the dis
cussion was enlightening to many.
The National Lutheran Council, an
inter synodical organization formed dur
ing the late war for dealing with prac-
teal questions, was approved. This
was done, however, in such qualifying
language as to make it plain that the
National Lutheran Council is not to
interfere, in any way, with the internal
affairs of the various cooperating bod
les. Each Synod, it is expressly stated
is itself to determine the extent of its
cooperation.
The past fiscal year the Norwegian
Lutheran Church of America expended
very nearly one million dollars for edu-
cational, missionary, charitable, and ad-
ministrative purposes. In spite of this
| the fiscal year closed with several thou
sand dollars in the treasury The bud
get for the present fiscal year, adopted
at Minneapolis, calls for an expendi-
| ture of considerably more than one mil
lion. This budget was adopted prac-
tically unanimously, but not without
debate.

Obituary.
JENS LUND

Last Tuesday, July 6, Jens c. Lund
passed away from this life at his home
on Main street. He rose early as was
his custom, and ate hearty breakfast,
seemed as we'll as usual when he left
| the house to GO to his work On the
way choking sensation came upon
him, and upon reaching the office, his
condition did not improve and it was
! thought best to take him to his home.
| A doctor was called, and everything
| possible was done to relieve him, but
he failed quickly, passing away quietly,
retaining consciousness to the last.
Heart failure seems to have been the
! immediate cause of his death.
Mr.. Lund was born near Kongsberg,
Norway, August 3, 1874. He grew up
and attended the common schools there.
! One of his school mates of those days,
Martin Mason, has been next door
neighbor to him during a number of
years, and they often talked over the
memories of their schooldays in Nor
way. In 1871 Mr.. Lund came to the
| United States. In the company were
also O. c. and Christ Hanson's mother
and Younger children. They were re-
ceived in the home of Jacob Johnson
at Edgerton. Mr. Lund went to Mar
tell Ia While here in 1876 he met
Il. h 70
Mettee They were united in marriage
in December of that year. In the spring
| they returned to Edgerton, but again
moved west and spent five years in
Martel1 Ia. In 1883 they again moved
back to Edgerton, and have lived here
| ever since. Mr. Lund entered the SER
vices of r. r. Brown, in his lumber
| business, remained in his job under
Birmingham & Hixon, and after that
until the day of his death he served the
| Heddles Lumber Company. Last 18th
/ of February it was 81 years that he had
remained in the same job, hardly miss
ing day, until last winter when he
| had a fall and sustained four broken
! ribs. This accident gave him shock
from which he did not entirely re-
cover.
To Mr.. and Mrs. Lund six children
were born, one daughter died in infancy.
The living are Mrs. Vim. Lichtenberg
of Minneapolis, Mrs. Paul Hackbert of
Appleton, Wis, George and Charles,
married sons living at Edgerton, and
! Mrs. Vim. Mcintosh also of Edgerton.
Mr.. Lund was a life long member
| of the Norwegian Lutheran church.
He was an honest worker, faithful to
| his trust, a loyal man to his home,
| church and country. He was in. his
plain and industrious way the type of
,, man, whose independence of character,
and devotion to duty have steadying
influence upon things around him. The
men who are too noble and too proud
to shirk their responsibilities in a lowly
calling are worthy of remembrance and
| honor.
| The Funeral services were conducted
] from the home and from the Norwegian
Lutheran church Friday, July 9th,
a two O'Clock in the afternoon, Rev.
! Grefthen reading the service and speak
! ing the words of comfort to the be-
reaved family. The remains were laid
| to rest in the Jensen cemetery.

They sang songs about Palmer.

lot of yells in which Palmer's name
figured as the key word. but the
demonstrations were brief.

was delaying the game. There was
a bigger crowd than on the opening
day. only a few seats in the gall

Bishop Leonard, of the Methodist
