membership in the National Lutheran Council under survey
fhe past triennium begs leave to report that the factors

fellow Lutherans now being rendered by the Lutheran World
ion; therefore be it

ved, That a committee be appointed by the President of
- to study the objectives of the Lutheran World Federation,
