Church Delegates Give Report.

The regular quarterly meeting of
the local congregation was held Mon
day evening in the church basement
with fair attendance. The routine
reports were read and accepted. The
Danish Ladies' Aid had offered SIS to-
ward maintaining the cemetery and
the congregation appropriated a SIM
liar amount. The building repair
committee reported that work was
progressing slowly but surely.
The main event of the evening was
the report of the delegates to the re-
cent national conference at Kimball-
ton, Iowa. Mrs. Arnold Sorensen, one
of the delegates, read very interest
ing paper on personal impressions
gained from the meeting outside of
the official conference. Mrs. Carl
Eriksen ably covered the main events
of the meeting in which the presi-
dents annual report was mainly
stressed. S. Chr. Dixen, the third
delegate, who by the way was elected
national conference, discussed that di-
vision at some length, as we'll as
touched on a number of other inter-
esting matters.
All three delegates were highly
pleased with the national conference
as whole and duly expressed their
appreciation for having been sent
there as representatives from the
local congregation.
Their repo, IS were distinctly divided
so that they did not talk about the
same things, and to say the least, they
were all interesting, intelligent and
we'll rendered.
The evening terminated with coffee
and lunch which appeared to be a
popular and pleasing manner to close
an evening we'll spent.
