8 PRESIDENT’S TRIENNIAL REPORT

PRESIDENT’S TRIENNIAL REPORT

The Constitution of our Synod, under the caption “Duties of:
the President” states: “At the sessions of Synod the Presid
shall... give an accurate report to Synod of his administration.” ™
Permit, me now to comply with this regulation. “

When we consider the crucial days in which we live, the ter:
rible unrest which obtains on earth, the fear and consternation.
which fills the hearts of men, the shocking indifference to God’
truth which has crept into many churches, the internal difficulties
in our own church body, we marvel at the grace and mercy..¢
God and thank Him that He has continued to use us for the up
building of His kingdom. We realize that we have in no wise
deserved His kind and gracious blessings. 4

During the past triennium our good heavenly Father in His
wise and gracious providence has called to their eternal rest
a number of men who during their life here upon earth serv
their Savior and our beloved Synod in special capacities. Our
Committee on Miscellaneous Matters is herewith requested to give
due consideration to this matter and to present appropriate resolu-.,
tions to our convention.
