TRINITY LUTHERANS’ BUILDING CAMPAIGN GETS FLYING START Governor Shafer Hopes Drive for a New Church Is a Complete Success 1S BISMARCK PROPOSITION Judge A. M. Christianson and H. 0. Saxvik Point Out Need of New Church Preparations for the building fund campaign of the Trinity Lutheran church were given a flying start Tuesday night by a large and en- thusiastic meeting of members and friends at the Methodist church. Two hundred people sat down at dinner and listened to a description of the proposed new building, archi- tect’s drawings and floor plans of hich were on display at the head table. The keynote of the occasion was struck by Governor George F. Shafer when he declared at the close of a pointed and witty address: “You will build a church serving not only the | religious and social needs of your congregation, but also filling a great need for the people of Bismarck. The city is forging ahead in every way, and this structure will evidence that you are keeping pace with its growth. The new church will also be a visiting | place and altar for all visitors coming to the city from all parts of North Dakota. They will move through its | aisles and sit in its pews. It will be @ credit to you and worthy of your responsibility to the city and the state. Persevere and have tenacity. I hope you will not cease until you have succeeded in full measure.” That the new church building will be one concerning not only members of the congregation, but an accom- Plishment in whteh every inhabitant of Bismarck will take pride, was as- serted by Supreme Court Justice A. M. Christianson in his address. “The new church will pay revenue to the community, not in dollars, but in better citizenship and a law-abiding population,” Justice Christianson said. “It will .ttract people to Bismarck Riding on a train that was the exact duplicate of the one on which he sold newspapers and magazines 60 years ago, Thomas A.

Like all progressive Superintendent H. O. Saxvik point- ed out that the present project is an endeavor to meet a crisis among Lutherans in this city. “Bismarck is full of Lutherans who are not or- ganized.” he stated. “There are so many that if organized, the congre- gation would compare favorably in strength with ary congregation in the ‘city. The old church building was so inadequate and unpromising that some drifted to other churches and many to none at all.
