Lutherans Of Minnesota will be un-
der everlasting obligations to the great
committee of 600 leaders in Mime
apolls, who have arranged the best
tnOugnt out and most practical move
ment yet proposed for constructive and
defensive achievement of our noble
historic Church. The monster cOnven-
ton OF clergy and layment called for
June 3O-July I, with it's many modern
and impressive features, and tempered
Dy sage counsel of patriarchs of the
church, affords the opportunity for
stronger, better Lutheranism in Mime
sofa.
The special features planned to at
tract and inspire the younger set are
worthy of great emphasis, viz: the in
PRODUCTION of Arnold Oss, perhaps the
most popular student on the University
of Minnesota campus, noted for his
sterling character and fine Christian
temperament. the winner of seven
coveted. ms for his victories in track,
football and basketball, is departure
that will impress young men of the
church. Oss will be introduced by
Governor Preus at the great auditor
ium rally in connection with the con-
ventiOn.
Every religious denomination in
Minnesota may be interested in this
policy of the Lutheran Brotherhood of
America to enlist the heroic spirits of
the day in church activities. It proves
that l.. B. A. has caught the spirit of
the times.
The introduction of Miss Winifred
Sunbeam, of Greensboro, N. c., whose
many honors and achievements in
athletics, Y. w. G. A. activities. and
college life. have won the title, "Cham-
pion College Girl of America" will also
be all inspiring feature of the great con-
vention. 1t IS especially worthy of
note that from the student body of
seventy-five colleges of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. South, with an en-
rollment that aside from the Sunbeam
girls, is perhaps entirely American
stock. this young lady of Scandinavian
descent, and of Western culture, should
be chosen by the Educational Commit
tee in charge of the drive now in pro-
gress, to raise $33, 600, 900 for Christian
Education, as the model girl of Christ
ian college breeding. and her picture
has been used in the official screen lee
ture by the committee during the en-
tire past year.
Just an incident in the awakening
cumstance that this college junior has
been asked to organize the Insurance
Brotherhood in Minnesota. The Insur-
ance Brotherhood is a separate institu-
ton but it is confined to Lutherans,
and it will have headquarters at the
West Hotel for the convenience Of those
interested. Rev. TIL. Eggen is presi-
dent, and Governor Preus is secretary
of the Insurance Brotherhood, and it
! is proposed to make this enterprise one
of the leading concerns of its kind in
America. Miss Sunbeam sets an in
spring example for young people in
undertaking to organize this state for
the Insurance Brotherhood. and, in the
! daring. she shows the true mettle of
the tribe that pioneered this great
Northwest.
Leading men of the dozen synOds
that will take part will appear on the
program. and every facility will be Of
fered for making the convention his
toric for its attachments for the good
of the church.
The motto of L. b. A. is: Loyalty to
Church, Home. and State" and there
, will be evolved a program and devel-
oped an atmosphere that is calculated
to better equip every man in attend
ance to exemplify this motto and carry
home its fruitfulness to each commun-
! ity.
All Lutherans who intend to. 60 to
! the Twin Cities for July Fourth can
p! get the benefit of reduced fares if they
. register at the convention. Tickets will
; be on sale from June 9th to July list
good to return as last as July 9Th
| Certificates should be called for when
! tickets are purchased. The agent will
furnish these certificates, and he should
F.; be consulted about the details.
Every Lutheran church in Minnesota
should be represented at this great con
vention, and every congregation should
have the benefits of the spirit generated
and the program which springs from
