Matthias Sheeleigh, ed., The Lutheran Almanac and Year-Book for the Year of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ 1889 (Philadelphia: Lutheran Publication Society, 1889), 20–21. Note that this is the first year the LCMS was larger than all of the constituent synods of the General Council combined. If comparing the LCMS to individual synods within the General Synod or General Council, it had been the largest American Lutheran synod since around the year 1870.
