PUBLICATION MATTERS 601

The Board also urges that Synod consider the possibility of
circulating current information on new books, perhaps by reports
to the District Offices of Education.

In closing, the Board recognizes with deep appreciation the
splendid co-operation of Concordia Publishing House, especially
of Dr. Dorn, Mr. Paul Struessel, and Miss Julia Koenig.

May the cause of providing good reading materials for our
rising generations be considered of greatest importance in the
work of our beloved Synod.

“Tytheran Witness” to Every Member of Synod
(Memorial 601)

Christ Lutheran Church, Detroit 19, Mich., a member of Synod,
in meeting on this date, resolved to memorialize Synod to take
under advisement the sending of its official paper, the Lutheran
Witness, to every address on the membership rolls of our
congregations.

We know that other churches are doing this. The February
issue of Fraternally Yours reported that “the Presbyterians in the
U.S.A. send their official paper, Presbyterian Life, to every address
on their membership rolls.”

Our church should do the same. We have attempted blanket
subscriptions from our congregations and Districts, but in many
cases these endeavors proved to be only half successful.

The sending of the Lutheran Witness to every address in Synod
should prove advantageous, making our members Lutheran-
minded, Synod-minded, mission-minded, Kingdom-minded. The
mere receipt of the Lutheran Witness at regular intervals should
