Scotland-born Salvation Army
Brigadier Charles Davidson, who
spent three and a half years in^
Japanese internment camps dur-N
ing the war, is returning to Japan
and Korea as the personal rep-
resentative ofGeneral Albert
Orsborn, international head of
the Salvation Army, in reestab-
lishing the work of the Army in
those two countries. In Japan
he will work closely with Lieut.
Commissioner Masuzo Uyemura,
who was removed by the Japa-
nese military from his post as
Japanese head of the Army
there, and who has now been re-
instated; and in Korea he will
work with Lieut. Commissioner
Last
summer $70,000 were sent out
from mission boards in North
America for the relief of Japa-
nese pastors and $200,000 are
now being secured for erecting
temporary churches in strategic
places. It is estimated that it
will be possible to build thirty
churches with this money.
During the past six months,
the Board of Missions and Church
Extension of the Methodist
Church has granted a total of
$2,116,983 for the erection of new
churches, parsonages, and par-
ish halls, and for the remodelling
of old ones, it is announced by
Dr. Earl R. Brown, executive
secretary of the Board’s Division
of Home Missions. Of this total,
$814,210 were in outright dona-
tions to projects in almost every
state in the union, while $1,302,-
773 were made in loans to the
churches.
Lutherans Hold
State Convention
At Seguin College
Governor Beauford Jester, a
a Trustee of a religious College
in Texas, sent his greetings and
warm congratulations through
Mrs. H. H. Weinert, National
Committee Member of the Demo-
cratic Party to the Texas Dis-
trict of the American Lutheran
tised by the A.L.C.
Therefore: Be It Resolved that
the Executive Committee be in-
structed to seriouslly consider
the possibility of holding the
Convention at some other place.

which have taken place in our

Whereas the question of seat-
ing to the pastor, the congrega-

Whereas many other matters

Therefore Be It Resolved that

dent to appoint a committee of

Rt. Rev. Angus Dun, Protestant
Episcopal bishop of Washington,
D.C. “A people which tolerates
gross injustice and deprivation
to a minority race at home is
very illequipped to maintain just-
ice in -the world abroad. It is
very easy to tell other people
what they ought to do about a
minority race; but if we Ameri-
cans are to be makers of peace
we must learn to cross the bar-
riers of race, class, and nation
with the spirit of understand-
ing.”

Texas Lutheran College, Seguin. j held in some congregation,
Texas, held in connection with particularly of hotel facilities
the State Convention of the Tex-
as District Convention, according
to Rev. F. G. Roesner, Public
Relations Director, of the Texas
District. The College at Seguin
is being raised from a Junior Col-
lege to a Senior College.
Many important resolutions
were adopted in this Convention,
among them was a resolution re-
questing the Congress of the
United States to create a uniform
marriage and divorce law
throughout the United States,
making it more difficult to get
a divorce in order to preserve the
American Home, the foundation
of the Nation.
The American Lutheran Church
addressed the Convention on mat-
ters of importance to the Church
Emmanuel Poppen, President of
the Church spoke on the future
of the Church and the World,
rebuking one of our Congress-
men who recently said that in 5
years 90% of the American peo-
ple would be wiped out by atomic
warfare. Dr. H. F. Schuh gave
a message entitled from “Ste-
wardship to Service” remndiing
the people that all labor was a
service to God and to man if seen
in the right light, and that if we
realized that we were children of
God we would soon overcome the
selfish attitudes of life and thus
end the strife between labor and
capital.
The Rev, F. G. Roesner, was
re-appointed as Public Relations
Director by the President, Rev.
C. N. Roth, for the purpose of
bringing more news of substan-
tial principles of Christianity to
tiie public to off-set the propa-
ganda of some elements in the
United States who are endeavor-
ing to split the Democracies a-
part and also split the American
people apart into two camps of
thinking, thus weakening, the
United States.
The Rev. C. N. Roth, Presi-
dent, gave a vital message to the
Church under the topic “Awake”,
He called attention to the in-
roads of trouble makers in Am-
erica, the struggle between the
forces of evil and of good, the
growing delinquency among par-
ents and children, the immorali-
ty in our nation and general law-
lessness, the need of Public Re-
lations to bring the Church be-
fore the people, the need of
Christian Education in the home,
church, and colleges. He de-
manded of the church to awaken !
to these dangers and do and give j
more for the righteousness of I
God and man and come out of j
its sleeping stupor.
Christian Education came in,
for much discussion. The dele-
gates to the Convention felt that
enristian Education in home,
church and school was the only
answer to the growing difficul-
ties in the world and the United
States. The Rev. Brauliek, Se-
guin, Texas, spoke on this in the
closing hours of the Convention.
Among the contributing to
church and charity causes the
American Lutheran Church
stands in 8th place among the 21
leading church bodies in America.
It is contributing heavily to spir-
itual and physical rehabilitation
in Europe and other parts of the
world. The church raised its
budget by 43% for the coming
year for such causes, according
to Rev. Roesener.

In view of the fact that the

the District for a continuous per-
iod of 30 years as treasurer; first
under the Iowa Synod and later
under the A. L. C.
Be It Resolved that the presi-

Whereas the American Bible
Society is doing excellent work
in distributing the Bible to the
world in mainy languages, and
Whereas the Bible is the one

Therefore Be It Resolved that
we observe Bible Sunday in all
congregations if possible on the

the benefit of the Society.
