FINANCIAL MATTERS 637

We herewith present detailed financial reports on Synod’s
fiscal business, which schedules are intended to inform the con-
vention concerning the principal financial activities of Synod.
A history of six years is given for all budget funds. The exhibits
are from “A” through “K.”

Reports of the “Conquest for Christ” (C. F.C.) and “Building
for Christ” (B. F.C.) are given from the inception of those two
collections. Synod has a number of specific funds, such as the
Advanced Scholarship Fund, Armed Services Commission Fund,
Blind Literature Fund, etc., which are given in detail in Exhibit “E.”

Since this report is intended as a condensed, or summary,
report, undoubtedly the need for additional details will arise. In
that event you may direct your questions to staff members who
will be in attendance throughout the convention.

W. H. Scuuveter, Treasurer
Cuartes E. Grorricn, Assistant Treasurer
