In 1921, Pastor Eckhardt accepted a call to St. Louis to serve as statistician for Synod and the congregation members turned to their beloved Pastor W. G. Ditzen who had served them one year as a teacher in the parochial school before he returned to the seminary in Springfield to complete his course to study, to graduate and be ordained. A call was extended him and he was installed in September, 1921, to serve until September 1930 when he accepted a call to become superintendent of the Old People's Home in Omaha.
