Dakota district of the church in the
auditorium here.
In quoting an official document is
sued by Lutheran organizations
through their representatives at a
gathering for the purpose of discus
sing plans for the National Lutheran
Council, Dr. Stub said:
"The Lutheran church was more or
less under a cloud on account of the
quite common charge of disloyalty
repeated again and again in the news
papers—a charge that even to some
extent was believed in official circles
in Washington. Our church had to
speak in its defense at headquarters.
"It was even asserted that the
kaiser himself was back of every
movement we made in connection
with the war, and when we wanted to
send our ministers with the Ameri
can soldiers, we were told that we
could not do so the inference, due to
attending circumstances, was that we
were conniving with the enemy.
Many Names on List.
"I went to Washington to present
our case, and I was told that hundreds
of Lutheran ministers had their
names recorded in the lists of the
secret service of the department of
justice and thus were under sus
picion. Secretary of War Newton D.
Baker said: 'We want no Lutheran
ministers to accompany our soldiers
to France.' "and then I called on
Senato- Knute Nelsbn to see what he
could rlo in the matter. That helped,
for when Senator Nelson had pre
sented our case to the secretary, we
wore permitted to send two commis
sioners to France for the purpose of
studying'conditions there."
Dr. Stub's statement was made in
the course of an address opening a
discussion of the plans and work of
the National Lutheran Council.
It was made clear that this organi
zation and the National Lutheran
commission were two distinct bodies,
the latter one having been created
only as a war emergency board, while
the commission is to solve problems
of the reconstructibn period
of the largest Lutheran churches in
the United States are represented in
the council, of which Dr. Stub is
I president, and in addition to protect
ing the good name and reputation of
the Lutheran church, the council also
will take up work in co-operation
with Lutherans in France, as well as
in a number of other European coun
tries where the need for material and
religious aid is acute. The council is
not an organic unity nor a federation
of various synods.
Agree on Doctrines.
Plans for continuing the Lutheran
missionary work in the former Ger
man colonies ane pending, but those
calling for organized activity in the
large industrial centers of this coun
try are nearing perfection.
Although the various Lutheran or
ganizations differ in a number of re
spects, they unanimously agree that
the unaltered Augsburg confession
and Luther's small catechism are the
foundations of their faith. They hold
that redemption and reconciliation of
erring mankind have been brought
about by Jesus Christ that the gospel
offers and gives the result of the
work of Christ and gives the power
to accept what it offers.
In the matter of absolutism the
Lutherans hold that it is not a matter
of the minister pronouncing judg
ment, for forgiveness can be extended
only by God himself. It is further
maintained that the Holy Spirit works
regeneration of the sinner both
vhrough

Photographs
baptism and the gospel, and
that justification is an act of God in
heaven. In the matter of other essen
tial doctrines, such as those concern
ing faith, conversion and election,
agreement has also been officially
proclaimed.
To Strengthen Organization.
In presenting the fundamental ele
ments of the National Lutheran Coun
cil Dr. Stub called attention to the
fact that all who are represented in
that body agree that the Lutheran
church is not the only saving church:
true Christians are
it believes that
found in other denominations, but,
also, that it is in all essentials the
I Apostolic church for which reason it
regards it a matter of principle that
its members attend services in their
own churches that their children be
baptized by their own pastors, and
that they partake of communion at
their own altars.
Pulpit and altar fellowship with
ministers and members of other de
nominations are to be avoided as
contrary to a true and consistent
Lutheranism.
Lutheran churches also, Dr. Stub
said, are opposed to the methods of
some secret organizations, but not
to all.
The plans, the practises and doc
trines of the National Lutheran Coun
cil had already, Dr. Stub said, been
endorsed by several district conven
tions of the Norwegian Lutheran
church, and during the afternoon ses
sion today an effort was made to ob
tain the North Dakota district's en
dorsement. Dr. Stub's address and
suggestions were referred to a com
mittee. consisting of Rev. R. R. Syr
dahl of Northwood, Rev. A. E. Lien
of Portland, and Rev. J. D. Rundsvold
of Fargo, with instructions to report
during the afternoon.
Various routine matters were dis
posed of during the morning session.
Greet Peace News.
When The Herald informed Rev. I.
D. Ylvisaker, president of the North
Dakota district, who presides at the
1
convention, that the peade treaty had
been signed, this was announced from
the chair and greeted by the conven
tion rising and offering prayers and
thanks.
The discussion of St. Paul's epistle
to the Colossians. 1.6-8, which was to
have opened this morning, was de
ferred until the afternoon when the
subject was introduced by Rev. O.
Turmo. Questions concerning the
various periodicals published of the
church also were discussed this after
noon.
Tonight Dr. Stub, Rev. I. D. Ylvi
saker and Rev. P. Tangjerd will speak
at a mass meeting in the stadlterlura,
and ordination of four ministers by
Dr. Stub will be a feature of tomor
row's meetings. An address in Eng
