The Madison circuit of the eastern
district of the Norwegian Lutheran
church held its fall meeting here the A,
apd of October. The sessions were
well attended, the church being packed
to the doors. There were Is ministers
present and about 80 delegates. The
two topics to be considered at the
meeting were '"The Fourth Command
ment" and "Our Missions at Home and
Abroad These were very ably ex-
planned, the necessity of our missions
and the duty of our church were plainly
shown, very near all the pastors TAX
ing part in the discussion. At the bus
mess meeting the old officers were re-
elected for the coming year. The cir
cult has heretofore had one of the pas
tors at Madison to look after the spirit
ual welfare of our people at Verona
and Mendoza. The Mt. Horeb circuit
has taken over the work at Verona, so
the Madison district decided to take up
the work at the hospitals in addition to
the Mendoza institute, this to be looked
after by the pastors at Madison. 1t
was also decided to have Rev. BOrge of
Deerfield to visit the sanitarium at
Jefferson as often as he thought neces-
sary. The sum of 5000 was appropri-
ated for this work, to be taken out of
the treasury of the circuit. An invita-
ton was extended by Rev. Hegge's
congregation of Cooksville for the
spring meeting of the circuit, which
was accepted with thanks. The meet
ing was success from all points of
view, the weather was ideal until the
close when it began to rain. One thou
sand meals were served in the church
parlors, and in behalf of the Rockdale
congregation we wish to thank the
Cambridge and East Koshkonong ladies
societies for the assistance they gave
in making it possible to serve such
large crowd And some time we may
be able to reciprocate for the kindness
shown US.
