The 25th annual session of
tlie Texas District of the Mis-
souri Synod of the Lutheran
Churoh closed Tuesday after-
noon after a most harmonious
session for eight days. Consider-
able matters pertaining to the
welfare of the church were dis-
posed of, and several other mat-
ters of importance were defer-
red or postponed for considera-
tion by later annual meetings.
There will be no state meet ing
next year because the Interna-
tional Session will be held at
Milwaukee.
One question of great weight
was disposed of for the time, at
least, which is the subdividing
the state into a northern and a
southern division with the I. &
G. N. Railroad as the dividing
line. The vote was 64 against •
and 62 for dividing. The state
sessions have become so large
that it is quite a task to enter-
tain that body, also the state, is
so far distant ror so many
-members to attend that the cost
is prohibitive. Only a few' com-
munities can entertain the state
synod and only a few places in
Texas are centrally located.
Another question is the salary
of missionaries, with expenses
varying so much that no one
scale can be suited to all work-
ers. The automobile has again
come into effect wjth its many
uses, lso expenses. A sliding
scale of salaries depending on
the length of service was defer-
red until the next synod. It was
also decided to send strong men
into the missionary field, and
not so many with little or no ex-
perience.
One foreign missionary, Rev.
। Elgin and driven by V. Jenkins
of Elgin, collided with a horse
