LEAGUEjCONVENTION
Writtn by One of the Visitors
Attending Young Peoples
The fourth annual convention of the
Willmar District Luther League of
the Minnesota Conference was held
very successfully here at the Bethel
Lutheran church the 6, 7 and 8 of Au
gust. The first session took place Fri
day evening when most of the visiting
delegates had arrived. The opening
program consisted of musical and lit
erary numbers rendered by a few of
the delegates. Cheering words of
welcome were spoken by Rev. Pear
son, and Rev. Swenson, president of
the District League, gave an able ad
dress.
Saturday morning the delegates,
friends and visitors repaired to the
beautiful Chautauqua park where at
ten o'clock the business part of the
convention was attended to. As no
convention had been held since the
meeting at New London, two years
had now passed, consequently, the
president was unable to give a definite
report of the work accomplished in
the various leagues during the two
years. Nevertheless, judging from
what was said, the summary of the
two years' work must be both im
mense and glorifying. The treasur
er's report was read, showing a good
balance. The election of officers was
next in order. Rev. Swenson was re
elected president Hanphyn T. Carl
son of Grove City was elected vice
president Amy Redy of Tripolis, sec
retary and Alec Walters of Litchfield
was elected treasurer. Also seven
delegates, two pastors and five lay,
were elected to represent the Willmar
District at the Minnesota Conference
Luther League convention to be held
held at St. Peter, Minn., Sept. 17-19.
It was also decided that the next Dis
trict convention be held in the month
of June next year, and that in place
of one as this year two delegates be
chosen to represent each local league.
The session Saturday afternoon be
gan at two-thirty with music by Skog
lund's orchestra. Following this se
lection Rev. Chellgren conducted
Scripture reading and Prayer, after
which Marie Anderson played a piano
solo. Dr. O. J. Johnson, president Gus
tavus Adolphus College delivered an
interesting and effective address on
Life's Plan, which was most appre
ciatively received for not only was it
pleasant to hear but full of food for
thought. Amy Redy and Esther Er
ickson each gave splendid declama
tions, and Lillie Rosell sang a solo.
After a song by the audience, Rev.
Linner closed the meeting with bene
diction.
Sunday was the big day of the con
vention. The holy communion was
celebrated in the morning. Rev. Ry
den delivered the communion address,
and Rev. Schoberg preached on the
text for the day namely, Matt. II.:20-'
24. The lithurgical part of the serv
was conducted by Rev. Tillman and
Rev. Pearson. A large number of both
young and old received the holy com
munion.
An extra session was held Sunday
afternoon at three o'clock. In the ab
sence of the president, Rev. Swenson,
Mr. Hanphyn T. Carlson conducted
the meeting. After the congregation
had sung a song, Rev. Chellgren lead
in Scripture reading and Prayer. Then
another song was sung by the congre
gation, after which Mr."Carlson pre
sented the topic chosen for the after
noon's discussion namely, What
should be the aim of each local Luther
League? Among those who took part
in the discussion were Rev. Linner,
Mr. Samuel Nelson and Rev. Chell-
Miss Myrtle Bengtson of Grove
City played a piano solo. Another
song was enjoyed, following which
Rev. Schoberg pronounced the bene
diction and the meeting was dismissed.
The Sunday evening's program was
greatly enjoyed by .both, old and
young. The opening service was con
ducted by Rev. Pearson. Two,selec
tions were rendered by the Bethel
Choir. Then Dr. Stephenson was in
troduced who talked very effectively
and impressively on theatopic, "John
Huss." Recitations were given by
Lilly Peterson and Alice Lund. Re
marks were then said by Rev. Swen
son and Rev. Pearson. A song by the
congregation closed the last session of
the fourth annual convention of the
Willmar District Luther League.
As a whole the fourth annual con
yention of the .Willmar District.Luther
League was a decided success. The
programs were ..exceptionally good.
The addresses.by Dr..Johnson and Dr.
Stephenson as well as the sermons
and. talks by the different ministers
were rich in thought and very appre
datively received. One feature of the
convention was: the large attendance
that greeted each, and every session
When one takes into consideration
that this is the busiest time of the
year for pur rural neighbors, one can
not but feel all the more gratified over
the large and enthusiastic gatherings.
Another fact that deserves being giv
en special mention is the interest .the
older people are .taking in the welfare
of the Luther League movement. Veri
ly it was very gratifying to see so
many old people among, our guests,
and therefore, we wish in this manner
to extend them our heartfelt thanks.
The cordiality and hospitality: tender
ed the delegates^and.visitors.by the
Bethel congregation added much to the
enjoyment of the convention. AILwho
attended one or more of the sessions
feelthat the Willmar people are royal
entertainers for they opened -both
their, homes and, hearts to the visitors
and made the visitors feel right at
home from the very beginning. The
writer feels sure, that .the. delegates
and all others concerned, feel greatly
indebted to Rev, Swenson and-Rev.
Pearson for their untiring efforts.in
making this convention such a grand
success. Therefore, jn behalf, of the
members of the various local Luther
Leagues that c^mjBrJb^t^^WlUmar
