6 FORWARD IN REMEMBRANCE

Memorial Day weekend was later revised by the com-

mittee, usually in answer to reactions received between . -

the Memorial Day weekend and the opening of the
convention.

The number in parentheses below each resolution
indicates the session in which final action was taken. It
many instances it might be well to consult the Minutes
of that session for additional information. The paren-
thetical comments in small type below someresolutions
provide still more additional information from the
notebooks of both secretaries and from the Minutes.

CWrefers to the Convention Workbook, the 432- -page
book of reports and overtures to the convention. TB
stands for Today’s Business, the publication bringing
the text of the proposed resolutions prepared by the floor

_ committees. The. first i issue of Today’s Business (Sec-

tions A and B) was sént to all congregations and
delegates prior to the convention and contained prac-
tically all resolutions. The daily issues distributed at the
convention proper brought the revised versions to the
attention of the delegates.

This convention marks some new beginnings. Anew
relationship to other Lutheran bodies, anew President,
a partially new structure.

It is good to “remember” what has gone before. But
the direction in the church is not backward, but forward
and upward into the presence of Christ and His own.
