MAJESTY OF MINNESOTA
LUTHERANS
BY Il. i. Biorns0n. Chairman a.
Publicity.

| the great committee Of 900 lead
ers in Minneapolis, who have ar
ranged the best thought out and
most practical movement yet
proposed for constructive and
defensive achievement of our
noble historic Church. The mon
ster convention Of clergy and
laymen called for June 80 July
|, with its many modern and inn
pressive features, and tempered
by sage counsel of patriarchs of
the Church, affords the opportu-
nifty for stronger, better Lu-
theranism in Minnesota.
The special features planned
to attract and inspire the young
err set are worthy of great en-
phasis. viz: the introduction of
Arnold Oss, perhaps the most
popular student on the Universe
ty Of Minnesota campus, noted
for his sterling character and
fine Christian temperament, the
winner Of seven coveted MS
for his victories in track, foot
ball and basketball, is depar-
ture that will impress young
men of the Church. Oss will be
introduced by Governor Preus
at the great auditorium rally in
connection with the convention.
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. 1t proves that
L. B. A. has caught the spirit of
the times.
The introduction of Miss Wini-
fred Sunbeam. Of Greensboro, N.
c., whose many honors and
achievements in athletics, Y. w.
c. A. activities, and college life.
have won the title, Champion
College Girl Of America" will
also be an inspiring feature of
the great convention. 1t is espe-
cially worthy Of note that from
the student body of seventy-five
colleges of the Methodist Episco-
pal 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 chos-
en- by the Educational Committee
in charge Of the drive now in
progress, to raise $33. O00. 900 for
Christian Education, as the
model girl of Christian college
breeding, and her picture has
been used in the official screen
lecture by the committee dur
ing the entire past year.
Just an incident in the awak-
ening Of the Lutheran younger
set is the circumstance that this
college junior has been asked to
organize the Insurance Brother
hood in Minnesota. The lnsur-
ance Brotherhood is n separate
institution, but it is confined TO
Lutherans. and il will have head
quarters at the West Hotel fe"
the convenience Of those inter
ested. Rev. TIL. Eggen is presi-
dent, and Governor Prcus is Sc
cretary Of the Insurance Brother
hood, and it is proposed to make
this enterprise one of the lead
ling concerns Of its kind in Am
erica. Miss Sunbeam sets an in!
spring example for young peo-
Pile in undertaking to organize
this state for the Insurance Bro
therhood. and. in the daring. she
, shows the true mettle of thu
tribe that pioneered this grea'
/, Northwest.
