bringing it up to date by adding sound, music, and commentary,
was discussed. The film was excellently photographed in parts. Its
use, as a basis for filmstrips, was also suggested.

a _ basis of Sunday school lessons is being prepared. The following les-

sons are being prepared: Jesus at Twelve; Gethsemane; The Last
Supper; Caiaphas; Pilate; The Crucifixion; and The Resurrection.

20. A stewardship motion picture has been under considera-
tion for a long time. Our Board has acted only in an advisory
capacity in this project, through a subcommittee. Several scripts
submitted have proved unacceptable.

21. Some Philippine footage has been received. It is being
considered for a film on our work in that area.

been prepared by the Calvin Company. Professor Rupp is shooting
the footage.

23. A filmstrip on our work in New Guinea is under way.

24. The matter of instructing Seminary students in photography
with a view to securing better pictures from mission fields was
suggested. Plans are being considered as to a practical way of
carrying this out.

25. Included in the deliberations of your Board, and on the
table for priority consideration, are productions on colleges and
seminaries; Luther’s life; “The Church Through the Ages”; promo-
tional films on Sunday school and Christian day school; Rally Day,
Bible classes; every-member canvass; etc. We have under way
several plans for exploring television possibilities,

aids is the problem of utilization. Increasing attention must be
given the problems involved in utilization.

Organization

Synod’s Board of Directors and Mr. Dorn of Concordia Publishing
House, on March 6—7, 1950, a basis of operation was agreed upon.

- director may be secured shortly and that the work of your Board
‘may go forward unhampered by organizational difficulties,
