Synod expressed its appreciation of the progressive move of
the Lutheran Laymen’s League recommending periodic meetings
between the Lutheran Hour Operating Committee and the Synod-
ical Mission Staff in the interest of an aggressive mission program
(Resolution 8).

Gratitude and appreciation were ordered conveyed to the Lu-
theran Women’s Missionary League for its gifts, and continued
‘blessing was implored upon its members (T.B., p.27, Reso-
lution 16). Recognizing the fact that the Savior has a remnant
among the Jews and realizing that it is well-nigh impossible to
organize congregations composed only of Jews and that some con-
gregations have been successful in winning individual Jews for the
Church, Synod resolved to encourage its congregations to continue
to show a sympathetic attitude toward the Jews in their com-
munities and a yearning desire to lead them to the Savior (Reso-
lution 14).

The name of Rev. F. Kauth (Western District) was ordered
substituted for that of Rev. Victor Rickmann on Committee 20A.

Committee 6 for Recommendation I of the report of the Committee
on Co-ordination of Synod’s Work as they are found in Today’s
Business, pages 32—33 without exception, and thereupon adopted
Recommendation I in its revised form (Resolution 2). Synod
rejected Memorial 514 as impractical (Resolution 1). After re-
solving to adopt the changes proposed for Recommendation II of
Memorial 502, concerning the annual stipend to be granted Vice-
Presidents who are not re-elected or resign because of infirmity
before reaching the official retirement age, Synod referred back
to the committee the motion to make the first two Vice-Presidents
full-time men, together with its amendment to strike the words
“First and Second” (Resolution 3, T. B., p. 37).

The Judge of Elections reported that Mr. W. H. Schlueter had
been elected Treasurer of Synod, that Vice-President Harms had
been elected First Vice-President with 1,363 points, Vice-President
Hertwig Second Vice-President with 1,144 points, Vice-President
