Pastors, teachers and lay delegates of the 141 congrega tions in Nebraska and Wyoming were in attendance. Those from Holt county attend ing included: Rev. R. W. Olson, pastor of Christ Lutheran church, O’Neill, and Immanuel Lutheran church, Atkinson; Rev. L. Wayne Meyers, pastor of Spencer-Lynch parish; Reinold Kaczor of Spen cer, lay delegate; Albert Stauffer of O’Neill, lay delegate; Student pastor Norman Walters and J. W. Walters, lay delegate, both of Chambers. Dr. Fredrick Hertwig of De troit, Mich., second vice-president of the Missouri synod, struck the keynote of urgency in church Dodor Hertwig . . . "life is cheap today." work in the opening service at the convention. Said Dr. Hertwig: “Life is cheap today, cheaper than it ever was. Blood is flowing in Korea and behind the bamboo curtain in China where thousands are being liquidated. Besides the spilling of blood, our age has made progress chiefly in two things, in the means of communi cations and of transportation. We must use both in the spread of the Gospel. God has wired this world and put the gas tanks into the bowels of the earth from the beginning of time for one purpose only, namely to help in the preaching of His everlasting gos pel.” Another stirring challenge to action by Distict President Wal ter E. Homann of Bancroft, in his opening address, was based on Christ’s command in Matthew 21: 18: “Son, Go Work Today in My Vineyard.” After seeing a pictorial review and hearing reports from the pas tors or representatives of the 32 mission congegations which re ceive subsidy from the district mission board, the convention ap proved two special projects, It underwrote a $50,000 bond issue Doctor Niedner . . "and they continued steadfastly." to erect a new church in Bellevue and authorized a loan of $29,000 from the district’s church exten sion fund to aid in replacing the church building in South Sioux City badly damaged by the 1952 Missouri river flood. Rev. Robert Kruse of Wake field, chairman of the district’s recent “Conquest for Christ’’ en deavor to raise $300,000 toward the general synod’s million dollar effort for missions and education expansion, reported that the north Nebraska district had gone over the top with $312,000 re ceived in cash and pledges, and 18 congregations still unreported. The convention essay was de livered by Rev. Fredric Nied ner of St. Charles, Mo., on the topic: “The Steadfast Church.” Doctor Neidner’s esay was an interesting and enlightening study based on Act 2:42. “And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine, and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.” The essayist is pastor of the largest congregation of the Lutheran church, Missouri synod, west of the Mississippi. Since the triennial convention of the general body will be held in Houston, Tex., in June, 1953, the northern Nebraska district will not convene again until the year 1954.
