which it has, under the Gospel, to “test all things and
hold fast that which is good”; and

tinuing interest, concern, and support, expressed by —

a) its continuing to recommend the university as

the university liberally with funds necessary for its

To Substitute Chicago for Milwaukee,
if Necessary, as Convention Site in 1971

Wuepreas, It has been brought to our attention that
our sister city of Milwaukee, which had invited the
Synod for its 1971 convention, may not be able to serve
as host in view of a critical hotel room shortage in Mil-
waukee which apparently will not be solved by 1971;
therefore be it

Resolved, That the Board of Directors of the North-
ern Illinois District offer Chicago as the site of the 1971
convention in the event that Milwaukee finds it difficult
to implement its invitation at this early date.

The delegates will recall that Chicago, which moth-
ered the Missouri Synod in 1847, last hosted the con-
vention in 1947, the Synod’s centennial year. Chicago
will be delighted to welcome her daughter home again
in 1971 as she prepares to celebrate her 125th birthday

in 1972.
