Vale Teachers Urged to Train

Is Endorsed.

The rapid drift toward the use of
the English language in the Angus
tana synod was pictured in a vivid
manner this morning at the con-
vention of the English association
of the synod, meeting in Grace Lu-
theran church, Rock Island
Rev. c. z. Hoffsten OF chicago,
in reporting on the results or an
investigation pursued during the
last year, declared that practically
half of the church work through
out the IlliSois conference is now
being done in the English language.
The conference as a body adopted
English as its official language at
its last meeting.
The trend toward English in the
Iowa conference is even more pro-
nounced.
Methods of Sunday school work
were discussed at this morning
session of the association A res
olution presented by Rev Olaf
Lundgren of Jamestown, N. Y,
chairman of the resolutions COM
mittee. deplored the fact that the
Augustana synod does not possess
al ADEQUATE oyS "a mo
for Sunday schools. Satisfaction
was expressed. however. over the
fact that the synod has engaged
competent Sunday school secretary
to solve the perplexities of the
school situation"
More male teachers were urged
in the Sunday schools, and the
of the association were
to impress this need on
the men of the church.
The Sunday school was pro-
inadequate for the relig-
ious training of children and strong
endorsement was given to the vaea-
ton and other bible school move
ments- Each church in the associ-
alton was urged to establish its
own school for religious instruc-
ton.

The congregation has spent $4,000
to renovate the church, and this
Improvement together with its hne
Gothic spire makes it one of the
finest pieces of church architecture
in the tri-cities. Not only were all
necessary repairs made on the out
side of the building, but the in
terror also was thoroughly renoV-
ated. The woodwork, pews, organ,
altar and pulpit were given new
coats of paint and varnish, and
the walls and ceiling were beautl-
fully redecorated.
The church has been closed sew
eral months on account of making
these repairs. and the building now
has the appearance Of being new.
The redecorating was done by
Henry Voege, who 25 years ago APP
piled the first coat of paint to the
church interior. The work done a
quarter Of century ago was
esteemed a wonderful piece OF art,
but the present job far surpasses
the first.

fessed to shooting her husband as
he lay in bed-but no bullet wounds
can be found on the body. Examin-
alton of the boxcar and the care
full review of the circumstances
under which Pedro's body was
