* ?f V LUTHERAN SYNOD CONVENED MONDAY Many Importnt Matters to Be Considered?Educational Campaign ^ Report to Be Made. The State. ? The 95th annual convention this week of the Evangelical Lutheran - ^ _ synod of Soutn uaroima win De one of the most important meetings ?n its history. The convention will begin its sessions tomorrow at 7:30 p. . m.- in Holy Trinity Lutheran church, j Little Mountain, the Rev.. John J. ^ Long, pastor. The synod will meet in t " nf ifc forritnrv which is 8. 1 CI O^VWVU VA ivu ... veritable Lutheran stronghold. Prac- I ( tically every inhabitant of the pros- j \ perous town and community of Little L Mountain is a Lutheran. A number A of years ago there were only three in- j habitants of the town who were members of other denominations, and one of these was the head of a family the members of which were all -** Lutherans. * j The congregation of Holy Trinity ( church was organized about 30 years c ago & d now has a communicant ? me? / .ship of 275. During the past ? year the members have built a hand- c some modern brick building at a cost c of about $15,000, replacing a wooden c frame structure. It is connected in a <; pastorate with Macedonia in the Pine j T4" '? I AmnnfAn nnnnfv , mage S6CUUI1 Ul UCAlUgkVii vvuAivj | 2 the latter congregation having also $ built about a year ago one of the most commodious brick churches in j any country district of the synod. The synodical sermon at the openeng session will be preached by the j Rev. H. J. Black, the president of the j synod, of Charleston. Other special ? sermons and addresses on the pro- b gram are: /'Christian Education," the e Rev. W. H. Dutton of Newberry, I Jj with the Rev. Enoch Hite of Pomaria J as alternate; "Christian Missions,'' q the Rev. J. L. Yonce of Cameron, with the- Rev. W. H. Roof of St. Luke's, Newberry county, alternate. Business of highest importance C which is to occupy this convention of the synod Will be the consideration 'J.': of the report of the committee on the ' $300,000 educational campaign fund ; - for its two educational institutions, Newberry and Summerland colleges1. " . Reports from.the field already show js that the committee will be able to in- "o dicate to the synod that the campaign t will be as successful as it is remark- " A - able that a church body with a constituency of 12,500 communicants should have launched such a tre mendous unaertaiung. X lie UCVlglu I u synod has heartily joined the move- S naent and agreed to raise $40,000 of 1; the amount, but while this latter o synod assumes this quota, it only adds f around 2,500 to the number of com- s . municantswho are contributing to the t financial sg^cess pf the greatest j - movement ever undertaken by the a synod. The amount in sight yester- p day was above $240,00, as contribut- o ed by 47^ out of so congregau<mi?ijj composing the synod, besides the | Georgia synod pledger. Twenty-one} t congregations of the synod have f equaled or exceeded their apportion- r * ment of the $300,000 fund, and re- a maming 38 congregations report will J no doubt secure the fpnd in full. 11 This convention of the synod is j ] also notable on account of the fact it U' will- be the first time in a generation a hat it has no debt. Five years ago-it t had a debt of about $10,000 when an j effort was begun to cancel it entirely, j c At its last convention pledges werejc made* for the balance of the aeDt c wnich yet remained and the .synod s will meet this year owing not a dollar j with large receipts as compared to last year and a good balance in the j treasury. The synod expends about |r )20,000 annually for the cause of j < beneficence, home and foreign mis- j sions and beneficiary education. j Another important matter will be ] the decision of the synod to align it- < elf fully as a component part of the | United Lutheran (Jhurcn m Amenta,, < agreeably to the conditions of the j < merger of the two general bodies of j; Lutherans in the North and West i with the Lutherans in the South as' < i effected in New York a year ago. , i In 1924 the centennial anniversary ( of the synod will occur and no doubt j 1 ilans will be adopted at the conven-1 ion at Little Mountain to observe ? 1 he centennial year by a suitable j velebration. The convention of 1919 j; /ill be held only a few miles from !? J he oldest Lutheran congregation in i the state?St. Paul's church, nearr T>omaria, which was organized in : 1760. About ten Lutheran churches now , xist in the state which were organzed in the 18th century and hold a ontinuous history to the present i ime.
