Lutherans at Eisenach, Germany, is
one Of the most interesting and i'm
portant tasks to be undertaken at
the fourth biennial convention of the
United Lutheran Church in America,
to be held at Chicago from October
81 to 80.
Several prominent American Luth-
eran general bodies participated at
the world convention, where dele
gates from forty nations recommend
ed a closer cooperation Of Lutherans
throughout the world. The eXecu-
tive board of the United Lutheran
Church in America has Endorsed this
plan of cooperative effort and the
approval Of the Chicago convention
is now necessary TO make the move
ment effective within the United
Lutheran Church.
The world convention drew up a
doctrinal statement accepting the
Holy Scriptures as the only source
Of church teaching and practice and
/. recognizing the Lutheran confession
as the pure exposition of Gods
Word.
AS a first tentative step toward
worldwide cooperation. the Luth-
era world convention organized an
executive committee of six members,
including two representatives of the
American church. Rev. Dr.. j.. A
Morehead Of New York, executive di-
rector of the National Lutheran
Council, and the Rev. DR.. L. ". Doe.
president of St. Olaf College, North
field. MINI. The high esteem in
which the American Lutherans are
held by their foreign brethren is fur
ther evidenced by the fact that DR.
Morehead was made president Of this
executive committee.
The aim of this committee is the
ambitious task of harmonizing all
Lutheran ACTIVITIES in works of love
in care of emigrants and in foreign
mission work. AS indicating one Of
the objects attained. an American
delegate to the world convention as
serts that "~hencefOrth the Lutheran
church of the world will be able to
speak as a unit"
The committee is charged with the
task Of preparing for another Luth-
eran world convention. 1t will pre-
Sent suggestions made to the con-
vention by DR.. Morehead for an ex-
