LEWISBURG LUTHERAN CHURCHES ARE UNITED ' LEWISBURG. O.. Feb. 10 Probably

one of the most important events in tho annals of the churches of Lewisburg occurred when two of the local churches were amalgamated into one. The two congregations to take such action were the Salem Lutheran and tho Memorial Lutheran. At a morning congregational meeting held in each church the merger proposition wa3 put 'before the congregations and each voted 'unanimously in favor of the amalgamation. Reports of the action taken, by each congregation was conveyed to the other by messenger immediately after, which all met in the I. O. O. F. banquet hall for dinner. Convening as a united body after dinner in the Salem church, the merger was completed by adopting a constitution, naming the new church, electing officers and transacting other business. The new church shall be known henceforth as Trinity Lutheran and the officers elected, all of whom are deacons, are as follows:, W. H. Horn, Frank Albert, G. M. Kumler, Ira C. Albert, Robert Bunger, Andy Albert, M. A. Cupp and C. W. Pontius. Half of the officers are from the original Salem congregation and half from the Memorial. Before disbanding the old officers of the two old congregatiqns will transfer the various church properties to the new organization and take such legal steps as shall be necessary.
