Cleveland District.

OHIO

-The Luther League of Bethany entertained a rally of the Lutheran young people a short time ago and steps were taken to form a city League for the mutual good of Lutheranism in the city. Following this action, the Bethany Leaguers entertained the visitors with the Game of Colleges, published in Lutheran Church Work, which proved most enjoyable and profitable in keeping young Lutherans in touch with the colleges, as well as being a fine plan for getting societies of the various churches acquainted with one another. The meeting was largely attended and speaks well for the future work of the Lutheran young people in the Sixth City. Another rally and picnic was held on July 20 at Garfield Park, when several addresses were made by the Leaguers. Several delegates from the Cleveland Lutheran churches attended the Ohio State Convention at Findlay. INDIANA

staunch Mark's,

Mr. L. T. Bang, the manager of this, the largest Chautauqua in Kansas, is a Lutheran, an active member of St. always seeking to advance the interests of the Lutheran Church at home and abroad.

The two or three thousand people who attended the Chautauqua daily for ten days know that there is a Luther League and a Lutheran church in Emporia, for the Leaguers never fail to take advantage of every opportunity to popularize their own church.

Luther's coat of arms occupied the center of the large electric sign on the tent, and could easily be seen from any part of the Chautauqua grounds.

The Emporia League derives great benefit from having a rest tent during Chautauquas, and suggests that other Leagues might take advantage of this novel method of making the Luther League a bigger and more active organization in the world.
