A lively discussion ensued on

Conference agreed to endeavor
to bring up a specified sum by
September 1 to enable the Synod
to take over the Robison Acad-
emy. A committee will be ap-
pointed by the President to
collect subscriptions for this
cause.
In behalf of the Protestant
Home for the Aged near San
Antonio, an institution of the Dis-
trict, following resolutions were
adopted: On account of prevail-
ing conditions the recommenda-

of the Home to erect a wing to
the building, could not be ac-

one to organize a society in every
congregation for the support of

Saturday evening a special
program was given at Turner
Hall which was well attended by
t.he citizens. The program was
in charge of H. W. Neuhaus, who
introduced the speakers and an-
nounced the various numbers in
his usual happy style.

The first number was ''Saen-
gergruss" by the Liederkranz,
who responded with the encore
"Heimatliebe." It is a credit to
any town of this size to have a
male choral organization of this
kind and their renditions were
appreciated.
Mayor Gus Russek gave the
principle address to the visitors
and his ability in this line needs
no comment to those who have
had the pleasure of hearing him
before.
The Campfire girls gave their
ceremonial song very impres-
sively and added much to the
program.
Wilbur Sengelmann's piano
solo was a credit to his steady
application and musical ability.
The Duett by Mrs. Chas. Vogt
and Ed. Kiehn "Our Good Ships
Speed," was mueh appreciated
by the audience, its harmony
being too beautiful for words.
The Liederkranz then sang
"My Old Kentucky Home," each
word being clearly understood
in every corner of the big hall.
Miss Katy Cornelson, whose
clear soprana voice has been a
delight to Schulenburg audiences
sang "Sing Me to Sleep," accom-
panied by Mrs. H. A. Herder,
violin, Miss Elsie Stuerke, piano.
Miss Ela Maxine Lessing never
pleased her audience better, and
she has appeared before many,
than with her two violin solos,
responding with the variations of
"The Last Rose of Summer,'! ac-
companied by Miss Lilian Reese.
Rev. P. C. Wolff of Ft. Worth
made an address on behalf of the
visitors, thanking the citizens for
their hospitality in a manner
which will not soon be forgotten.
The trio by Messrs. Gus and
Win. Brauner and W. H. Neuhaus,
"StillRuhtder See,".was faultless
in technic, but these musicians
have appeared in public too often
to need further comment than
the fact that they were on the
program.
The Liederkranz closed the
program by singing "My Coun-
try 'tis of Thee," in which the
audience joined standing.
It is unfortunate that the
elements refused to smiie while
the visitors were with us, but
their welcome was none the less
cordial in our hearts regardless
of the unpromising weather con-
ditions prevailing outside the
homes. „

and the homes where they were
entertained.
