lions of dollars will be voted toward the support of various enterprises. An outstanding feature of the conven tion will be the monster celebration on Soldiers’ Field of the Quadriceniennlal of Martin Lather’s Catechism Officers, boards and committees, who during the next three years will carry out the resolutions of the convention, are to be elected. No Fundamentalist-Modernist Fight River Forest will be no battleground for fundamentalists and liberals. The Missouri Synod with its 3,371 pastors, 4,527 congregations and preaching places, 1,106,745 baptized and 687,643 communicant members. Is unanimously conservative. It adheres to the fundamental teachings of Lutheranism, as they are embodied in Luther's Catechism, written four hundred years ago. It Recognizes the marvelous advances made by tin? sciences during these four centuries, hut it finds no contradiction between the remits of honest scientific research and the revelation of God in the Bible. It accepts the Bible as God’s inspired Word. It teaches that Jesus Christ. ■ the only begotten Son of God, is the one hope of sinful man. It believes that sin has corrupted human nature and that only the power of God can effect the change which will make of man a child of God and thus a real brother to his fellowmen. It relics upon the Word of God and the Sacraments to bring about this conversion and consequent change in life. Standing firmly upon this platform, the Missouri Synod conceives its only purpose to be the preaching of the Gospel. It is strongly opposed to the Intrusion of the Church into the sphere of politics. It maintains no lobby in Washington. It advocates i neither prohibition nor saloons. N’o ■ resolutions will be passed in Chicago, [ urging the United States to join the I League of Nations or to get out of Nicaragua. No committee will report on the soft coal situation or industrial slavery in the South. Individual mem- ’ bers may feel very strongly on some of these points. They will not make [ their Church a vehicle for driving i those convictions somewhere. The efficient conduct and expansion of missionaryundertakings and the strengthening of the synodical educational sys- ! tem will be the chief topics for discussion. The Missouri Synod is con- ‘ vinced that the best service it can tender the nation is the awakening i and deepening of Christian faith, con- ' sclousness and life in the Individuals *ith whom it comes in contact. A World-Wide, Polyglot Organization The most important mission reports ulll be rendered by the Boards for Home Missions in North America and I for Church Extension. Their sphere °f activity extends from Alaska to Mexico and Cuba. Through the Board for Foreign Language Missions work is being done among Persian, I Lithuanian, Polish, Lettish, Slovak. [ Italian, Spanish and Mexican immi Brants to this country. Nineteen missionaries, working under the direction °t the Board for Deaf-Mute Missions, are serving 134 places. An immigrant missionary in New York City ami anI other one in Winnipeg, Canada, meet strangers arriving in the United States and Canada. The Board for European Missions subsidizes congre Bations in Germany, France, Finland and Esthonia. The need for extend ’ng the work among the North American Indians will be presented by a Lutheran leader among his people. Mr. Sam Miller, known as the last aachem of the Mohicans. The Board for South American Missions assists two growing synods in Brazil and Ar Bontine, where natives tfnd German are served. Under the supervision of the Board for Foreign Missions are missionaries in various Provinces of China and several dis triets of India. Work among the ne * Qfs of the South andjn lajggr north-

Os these there are 1,370 with I 31.4a7 pupils enrolled. These schools , in addition to giving all the subjects demanded by state laws, daily devote , time to religious instruction. They are maintained by the voluntary con- ' I trlbuflons of the members of congregations conducting them. The Missouri Synod is thoroughly convinced I i that for proper Christian training of children a religious atmosphere in the schools and week-day instruction tn religion are necessary. A group of ten colleges and junior j colleges in the United States and one I junior college in Edmonton, Canada i is under synodical control and sup- ; ported by the Synod. Theological I seminaries in St. Louis, Mo., Spring- ■ Held, 111., and Porto Alegre, Brazil, I top the list of educational Institutions. Appropriations for additional build- | ings at many of these schools win be sought. Complete Program Arranged Since last November, Lutheran congregations In Chicago and vicinity have been making preparations tor i I the entertainment of the convention. ; Everything possible has been done to 1 insure smooth efficiency in the man-' agement of all business affairs. The I synodical sessions in Chicago will recall the organization of the Missouri 1 Synod in 1847. Twenty-two pastors I and twelve congregations were the charter-members of the body that was ■ formed in the First St. Paul's Church, j ! still one of the leading Lutheran conI gregations in Chicago. Eighty-two i years have elapsed since that initial I meeting. Chicago has grown from a ■ town of 20,000 to be the second city In the country. The progress of the Missouri Synod has been similarly remarkable. Where a handful gathered, | more than 1,000 delegates will assemble, The twelve congregations have grown to be 2,700 in full membership with the Synod and another 1,000 served by pastors belonging to the
