Concorbia feocietp When we of today—the theological students, who constitute the membership of Concordia—think back to our pioneer brothers, who long ago organized this society and gave it life and purpose, we can not but he aware of the significance of the name they gave it. Concordia symbolizes the source of concord, agreement, and unity of feeling and interest. Surely the founders of our society must have been keenly conscious of the vital value of concord in Christian living. “Behold how good and pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity. What should be more precious and natural than true fellowship among4the brothers of our Savior, Jesus Christ? This is the fruit we seek to gather from our society’s activity. That by coming together about common problems and in united sympathy we might better appreciate and love that work, the Master has designated for each of us to do. We have of late endeavored to extend our contacts with former members of the Concordia, who are now out in the active work—that work in which wc anticipate a part. To attain this wc have sought to share the experiences of our pastors by having them come to Augsburg and lecture to us on the many practical problems they meet with in their ministry. 1 bus do wc hope to receive the larger blessing of an extended fellowship. A fel- lowship that God can bless, use, and keep as His own Concordia—a society of brothers, one in Him. Page 24 mm
