J. N. J. [In the name of Jesus]

From the 16th to the 21st of August 1922 the Evangelical Lutheran Synodical Conference [*Synodalkonferenz*] of North America held its twenty-eighth convention in Trinity Church (Rev. Theo. Möllering) at Cincinnati, O. It was at the same time a jubilee convention, since the Synodical Conference was now fifty years old. On Wednesday morning President C. Gausewitz preached in the opening service on Phil. 1:3, 5. This was a Communion service. The confessional address was delivered by Rev. H. Schabacker of Hebron, Nebr., on Isa. 55:7. In the closing service on Monday evening, in the Church of Our Savior, Rev. Aug. F. Zich of Green Bay, Wis., preached in English on Matt. 13:31–35.

There were four morning and four afternoon sessions. The morning sessions were devoted to doctrinal discussions. Prof. Joh. P. Meyer of the seminary at Wauwatosa presented the paper. All sessions were opened with a liturgical service, at which Rev. F. C. Streufert served as chaplain.

The organization took place on Wednesday afternoon, after the credentials committee, consisting of Revs. F. C. Streufert and Paul J. Kionka, had examined the credentials and presented a list of the accredited delegates.
