PUBLICATION MATTERS 595

Better Service from Concordia Publishing House
a (Memorial 704)

Wuereas, Concordia Publishing House is of great service to
our church, especially with the assurance that its publications
have been checked and can be accepted by the churches; and

Wuereas, Modern industry in recent years has gone out of

Resolved, That Synod request Concordia Publishing House
to have a disinterested expert recommend how faster and more
efficient service can be obtained.
