Frank Efird of Lexington, appointed by the United synod of the Lutheran church, met oil Tuesday in the officos of the Unit ed Synod Publishing company in Co IuInbia inl order to consider the ad. visability of the purchase and trans fer of Thle Lutheran Church Visitor, the olecial organ of the Lutheran church in the South, of Tidings, the Sunday school paper, and of all the allied publi-hing interests owned and controlled by the United Synod Pub lishing. comipany. After a full statement by the spec il agent of the con f.:tee as to his canvass for funds, as aultiorized by the syni. and ater a t.1 rough in ve-' I;l te bul.inless candIlkitionls of the i:edSyaod l'ubei.- (mu . panyV, I 4crliimit tee decided to acept the piroperty of the publisilinug comn pany an-l all of its publications. Followiig this action the question as to the location of a future publish ing house of the Lutheran church in the South was considered by the com mittee and it was decided that an available piece of property located in the city of Columbia should be pur chased and improved. The main con - ditio contemplated in this action was that a fund of $10,000 tin cash should be raised towards acquiring the property. This action of the com mittee in arranging for the establish Ient of a publishing house is hut an other step in the development of a great church enterprise; the first of marked significance was the eonsoti dation of The Lutheran Visitor, for 'iany years published at Newberry, anid Our Church Paper) formerly pub lished at New Market, Vso Rev. W. H. Greever, who has acted as special agent for raising the funds with which the publications were pur chased for the church, 'was authorized to prosecute a further additional canvass for the $10,000 fund to go to wards purchasing the property for the publishing house. The committee also passed special resolutions of ap preciation of the efficient services of the Rev. Messrs. C. A. Freed and W. H. Greever, who have been connected with th church paper since it has been published in Columbia, 1904. and of Mr. W. P. Ho.useal, who has been connected with the publishing of the ehurch paper for over 25 years. After the transfer bf the property had been provided for and questions of location of the publishing house had been conditionally disposed of, Ithe committee elected the busine.ss Sand editorial staff of the paper. Rev. -W. HI. Greever was elected editor and t general manager, Rev. C. A. Freed ~treasurer, Mr. Wt. P. H-ouseal, of fice manager, wvith provision for' ad ditional office assistants. The new publishuing house will be the only official publishaing house in ~ thew slate of a general chiu rch holy -covermg a territory like that c'over ed by the United synod, which includl es all territory su'oth of Mason and Dixon's hine and east of the Missis sipp)i river, and will control the enitire hproduction and dlistribuition of all literature for the Lutheran church in the south, both of a current and a standard nature. The building itself will be an ornament to the city and wvill cost thirty thousand dollars. The publication house will not only be a worthy enterprise of Columbia, but it will be a significant influence in directing the attention of a ver~y desirable class of immigrants from certain parts of the North and North west of the United States to this city. It was a significant fact in statis tics last year that the largest- per cent. in denoinat ion al growth wvas in the Lutheran church, and that the Itargest gr'owth in the Lutheran church 11was in the United Synod of the south. aThe Lutherans in this state are fast coming'to the front in promoting thec material as well as the spiritual wvel fare of the state and the establish -ment of such an institution in Colum. bia which the publication houde per mits is no means enterprise for this ,city.-The State. e.
