CONVENTION MINUTES 907

Committee 6 presented its resolution with reference to Memo-
rial 512, page 408 (T. B., p.162). After the expression “the two
previously quoted sections,” line 30, had been officially interpreted
by the secretary of Committee 6 to include Article VII of Synod’s
Constitution referred to in the first “whereas” of the resolution,
the memorial was rejected (Resolution 44). Synod authorized the
Board of Directors to enlarge the synodical Church Extension

July 1, 1950, are to be charged at the rate of interest established
