Flashes Magazine
The Lutheran church established an organization for young people called the Walther League in 1893 in Buffalo, New York. The Walther League aimed to involve youth in “worship, leadership training schools, camping, writing, and publishing” as well as welfare and service projects. They located their headquarters in Chicago, erecting a building there in 1942.
The league came to sponsor an adult education and conference program called the Arcadia Association which “owned, operated, and managed Camp Arcadia” in Michigan and a group called the Wheat Ridge Foundation in Colorado to support sanitariums and hospitals throughout the world. However, the league was discontinued in 1989.
In Missouri, the Walther League sponsored a publication called Flashes, and four issues of that publication from 1922 and 1923 have been donated to StLGS. The society digitized and indexed them before donating them to Concordia Historical Institute in St. Louis for their archives.
