12 PRESIDENT’S TRIENNIAL REPORT

accomplishes that which He pleases and prospers in the thing
whereto He sent it.

Your President attended a convention of the Slovak Evan-
gelical Lutheran Church on September 30, 1957, and was given
the privilege of extending our Synod’s greetings and the prayer
for God’s blessings on the convention’s deliberations.

Your President also enjoyed the privilege of attending con-
ventions of the Lutheran Laymen’s League, the Lutheran Women’s
Missionary League, and the Walther League and extended Synod’s
greetings and well wishes, presented the work of Synod, and en-
couraged wholehearted support of the synodical program.

The Boards and Committees of Synod have submitted their
reports in the book of Reports and Memorials. Your President
herewith thanks them for their faithful service. The convention’s
floor committees either have given or will give thorough thought
and study to these reports and to the suggestions contained in
them, and will present proper resolutions.

Permit me to thank especially Synod’s Board of Directors for
its co-operation in the business affairs of Synod. This includes also
the Counselor of the Board and the Controller. Let me express
heartfelt gratitude also to Synod’s Vice-Presidents, who were ever
willing to render counsel and aid, especially in the spiritual super-
vision of the church. Permit me also to acknowledge gratefully
the splendid co-operation of our District Presidents.

May God graciously bless all who have rendered faithful and
conscientious service.

Now, brethren, pleading for our heavenly Father’s blessings on
our convention, for the motivation and the strengthening of the
Christ who redeemed us, and for the gracious and effectual guid-
ance of the Holy Spirit, we address ourselves to the important work
which God has assigned to us.
