INTERESTING SESSION

The regular quarterly meeting of
the Racine Kenosha District Luther
league, was held at Grace Lutheran
church, at Lyman and Prairie avenues,

local leagues in Racine and the Grace

ways open with a devotional service,
consist of regular business meeting,
after which short social hour pre-
cedes the supper, and short program
furnished by the host league. The
meetings ae so arranged as to make
the circuit of the league once each
year, allowing each league the oppor-
tunity to entertain.
Opened Fall Activities.
Sundays meeting was the first to
be held since the annual convention
held at Wauwatosa last July, and
marked the opening of activities for
the fall and winter season,
During the course of the business
session, Walter A. Leininger of this
city, who was recently appointed mis-
sionary secretary for the state league,
in addition to his duties as vice
president of the district, presented
the missionary objective of the. ma
tional organization for the coming
biennial, which was unanimously
adopted at the convention in Milwau-
kee this year, and which has been en-
dorsed by all state, synodical and dis
-trict leagues connected with the ma
tional body. This objective consists
to build the. administration building
of the Andhra Christian college in
India. This college is being estab-
lished by the United Lutheran Church

grounds, buildings. and equipment of
$3.50 900.
Pledge Support.
The members took favorable action
on the measure, and heartily endorsed
the project by pledging their united
support. instructing the executive
committee to formulate plans for
raising their quota. No definite goal
was placed at this time, though it was
the sentiment of the majority that 5000
was not too much to raise in one year,
than in two, as heretofore.
Grace league had sas it's special
guests for the occasion delegates from
st. PauPs and st. Mays Luther
leagues of the city, who entered freely
into the discussion of the possibilities
and advantages of joining the Luth-
eran young peoples organizations to-
gether in. a stronger bond of friend
ship and harmony by encouraging the
exchange of sacred programs, and
social invitations.
The business session adjourned to
the dining hall which was decorated
for the occasion with the Luther
league colors of black, red, white, blue
and gold, interviewer into a fantas-
tic color arrangement, with handmade
paper flowers. ~

was given, was most enjoyable. 1t

Ella Stern, Paul Stern, Arthur Tianen,
Mrs. Helen Dunn, Mrs. c. B. Liv-
ingston, and Miss Edith Schurr.
