Lutheran Synod held Its eeventy-
eighth session at St. John's Luth-
eran Church of San Antonio,

was of special significance in that
it was the last meeting before the
merger. Oter one hundred and
seventy-five ministers and lay
delegates were present. Due to
the Impossibility of the president
of the Iowa Synod to be present,
the Her. A. Braun, secretary of
that Synod, was appointed the of-
ficial representative.
Much important business was
transacted. All of the present of-
ficers were re-elected to serve till
