time which is very inconvenient for his congregation may also dis-
rupt the work of that congregation; and

Wuereas, Synod can pass no rule in matters relating to the ac-
ceptance of a call which would be of binding effect; and

Wnuereas, The law of Christian love must always guide all our
actions; be it

Resolved, That Synod encourage the professional servants of
the Church as well as our congregations to remember the law of
Christian love when dealing in matters of a call or transfer.

Resolution 17

(Unprinted Memorial of Educational Conference, asking Synod to urge
Districts to call one or several successful men teachers who could be
assigned to strategic positions for opening and firmly establishing
new schools)

Wuereas, There is nothing to prevent Districts from taking

such action at the present time; and

Wuereas, This proposal, while containing much merit, is un- —

practical for general application at this time, especially in view of
the shortage of teachers; be it ,
Resolved, That this memorial be declined.

Resolution 18
(Book of Memorials, p. 242)

Wuerzas, The Lutheran high school is an extension of our fa-
cilities for Christian education; and

Wuereas, In recent years a number of additional Lutheran high
schools have been placed into operation, while still others are being
_ planned; and

Wuereas, Ill-advised attempts to promote a high school with-
out sufficient constituency, without adequate reckoning of the finan-
cial support needed, etc. will not produce satisfactory high
schools; and

Wnereas, District Boards and the Board for Parish Education

are in position to make available professional guidance in setting
up high school programs; be it

Resolved,

1. That we thank God for the high schools which have already
been established;

2. That we encourage the several congregations in an area to
explore the possibility of forming an association to sponsor a high
school;

3. That we invoke the blessings of the Lord upon those Lu-
theran high schools already established and upon the efforts made
to establish others;
