full confidence that this coming year will be an excellent one for
the L.W.L.
May I, in closing, ask God to bless all those who due to illness,
or to other unavoidable circumstances are unable to be with us
at this convention but who are with us in spirit.

Report of Lutheran
Women's League —1958
On behalf of the Lutheran Women’s League we bring greetings
to the convention of the Icelandic Evangelical Lutheran Synod of
America and respectfully submit the following report of our League.
Twenty-five societies are now members of this League and our
convention will be held this month at Gimli and at the Sunrise
Lutheran Camp. Members will, as usual, report progress in their
respective work in each community.
The main projects in our agenda are the same as in previous
years; i.e. (1) The Children’s Camp at Husavik; (2) Ardis, our
annual publication; (3) Sunday School work in districts where
there is little pastoral work; (4) Temperance.
(1) Sunrise Luiheran Camp: This project holds a high place in
all our communities and is fortunate in enjoying the active support
in the form of donations and in voluntary work. We are now about
to open camp for the thirteenth season and all committees appoint-
ed to the various needs for this season have been actively engaged
in acquiring all help necessary to its operation for the six weeks
in July and August.
Through the generous gift of money from the Good Templar
Lodges, Hekla and Skuld, we now have a new Boys’ Dormitory,
which adds one more building to the camp. The building which
has been a boys’ dormitory will now be devoted to arts and crafts.
