Improvements in the “Lutheran Witness”

WHEREAS, It seems evident that the problem of securing greater
sighip of synodical publications, particularly the Lutheran
; deserves the wider study possible by a synodical committee
s‘than a committee in a District of Synod; and

WuEREAS, It appears that this is becoming a more pressing
én with each passing year; therefore be it

Re solved, That the Western District of The Lutheran Church —

quri Synod memorialize the next convention of The Lutheran
| — Missouri Synod at Houston, Tex., to appoint a committee

‘ ke a thorough study of further improvements in the Lutheran
ness which would increase reader appeal.

t of the Committee on Hymnology and Liturgics

at we are living in an era of storm and stress becomes evi-
0; when one views much of the worship life and activity
ian‘churches of our day. In days of unrest and insecurity,
ily go to extremes in their corporate worship activities
4st upon practices and standards which ignore the decency
required of us as worshipers of God. 1Cor. 14: 40.
in mind that extremism of any kind and a healthy type
heranism are usually incompatible with each other, your
Committee on Hymnology and Liturgics has been making
t to note the hymnological and the liturgical tendencies
, already for the purpose of helping to prevent undesirable
‘from making dangerous inroads into the worship life of
eh. Various members of your Committee have examined
turgical publications and hymnals which have been made
and have been introduced in various churches in America
tirope in recent years. We are happy to note that worship
s are rapidly rising in Christian churches of America
