In the Name of Jesus.

Following an invitation from Bethlehem congregation at Milwaukee, Wis. (Pastor O. Kaiser), the Evangelical Lutheran *Synodalkonferenz* [Synodical Conference] of North America held its twenty-fifth convention in its midst. The convention lasted from the 12th to the 17th of August 1914. In the opening service the Reverend President, Pastor C. Gausewitz, preached on John 6:15. On Friday evening a service was held, combined with the celebration of the Holy Supper. The confessional address was given by Director J. Schaller of Wauwatosa, Wis., on Psalm 119:116. Pastor R. Schroth of Mayville, Wis., preached on 1 Cor. 13:13. In the closing service on Monday evening Pastor J. Mittelstädt of Wonewoc, Wis., preached on John 8:31.
