The entertainmen of a district con vention taxes even the facilities of large city congregations, and thn Abita Springs, Covington, Bogalusa .and Mandeville, under the leadershio 'of their pastor, Rev.

P. Eck harat, o. Pittsburg, Pa., fourth vice president of the general body, and Prof. J. T. Mueller, of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, Mo. The formal opening of the con ' htlon took place in a divine service Wednesday morning, in which the Honorable vice- president delivered the sermon. Basing his address on Exodus 32, 29 and I Chroil. 29, 5, he made a stirring appeal for con secration in the work of the Luth eran Church, which means complete surrender to Christ and the utter denial of self. At 2:00 p. m. the convention met for its first session. Having been organized, the venerable district president, Rev. G. J. Wegener, of New Orieans. read his address and report, in which he called -attentlon to the diamond'jubilee of the Synod and the 40th anniversary of the dia trict in this year. Reviewing the past, he pointed to the signal bleszm ings of the Lutherans upon Synod and district, emphasizing in partien lar the preservation of His precious word in all its truth and purity to them. To-day 36 pastors and mis sionaries are ministering to 11,465 souls in the states of Mississippi, Lou isiana and Florida. After the disposal of Some pre liminary business, the Rev. H.

Such has,, been the phenominal growth of Synod in the 75 years of its history, a success achieved under. the blessing of God by no means other than calm, simple gospel eteachlng.

Wegener, on Ihe topic, "Partaking t.of Other Men's Sins," 'based on I Tim. 5, 22 The essayist showved on the strength of his text and many other scripture passages, that men can and actually do share in many ways in the sins committed by otherr. subjecting' themselves thereby to the' penalty or such sins. The essay proved so instructive and interesting that the convention resolved to have' it puolisned to give It wider circu lation. The last half hour of the morning session w:.s accorded to Prof. J. Ti. Mueller, of Concordia Seminary, St Louis, Mo., who began to present his Paper on 'The Message of Isaiah and lts Slbnlilcance for Our Times."

Porteous Hopes for Return of Scouts To Permanent Home MAMIE NEWMA N POPULAR BOSS Scout Falling From Second Story Saves Life By Us ing Scout Fall Break The Girl -Scouts broke camp Wed nesday and returned to.New Orleans. Their headquarters have been in the de la Vergne place on Riverside Drive, a mile or two from Coving ton on the Bogue Falaya River. They have been in charge of Mrs. Wm. Porteous, which alone is a guarantee of good management and a pleasant time-not a Scout that would not fight for her and not one that would disobey her. The Girl Scouts captured the friendship and esteem of Covington and the surrounding country through which they hiked and picnicked and enjoyed themselves, with all the disciplide of regular troops, and they will carry with them the best wishes of all. Their deportment at enter tainments and theatre parties, their attendance at church services, their visits to factories and places of in terest were all conducted with due regard for the benefit or entertain ment attached to each. The Scouts certainly got the most there was in every opportunity offered them and made it a pleasure to those who en tertained them. In Covington, they were much in terested in their inspection of the Mackie Pine Products Company, the St. Tammany Ice & Manufacturing Company and the Pineland Spring Bottling Company. Hon. W. H. Sullivan made their trip to Bogalusa very enjoyable by visits' to the' big lumber and paper mills, the Y.. W. C. A.; with its fine swimming pool, which they took al vantage of, and a banquest at the 'Plie Tree Inn. The Girl Scouts range from 10 to Ig years or age,' and a majority of the 'captains are school teachers. To become an officer you must have won the required number of badges for service distinction-the captain' 21, lieutenant -18, se'cond lieutenant 16. Then there are badges for merit and for attainments, such as "economist." etc. The Scouts in their hikes thra the woods study bird life; `tree and. plants and' flowers become more than` of passing interest. Swimming is a sport that many of them have be come quite proficient in, and they-; have a life saving corps that has done] actual service In this respect, Misses Mamie Newman, Elizabeth C"' Cu, Miss Curler also had charge of the hospital and Red Cross work.
