J. N. J. [In the Name of Jesus]
The twenty-ninth convention of the Evangelical Lutheran *Synodalkonferenz* [Synodical Conference] of North America met from 20 to 26 August 1924 in St. Paul's Church (Pastor F. J. Lankenau) at Napoleon, O. At the opening service on Wednesday morning Pastor W. A. Hönecke of Milwaukee preached on 1 John 4:7a.

Four morning and four afternoon sessions were held. In order to be able to close on Monday noon, an afternoon session was held on Saturday. The morning sessions were devoted to the doctrinal discussions, in which Prof. M. S. Sommer of the seminary at St. Louis gave the paper. In the afternoons business was transacted. Serving as chaplains in the various sessions were President C. Gausewitz and Pastors W. Dallmann, F. A. Hertwig, Th. A. M. Hartmann and A. C. Haase. The organ was played by the teachers Th.
