Now that, by God's gracious help, the business of this year's first
synodical assembly had thus far been concluded, the synod finally
proceeded to elect its officers and standing committees for the next
three-year synodical term, and the result was that the following
brothers were elected:

a, as officers of the synod: C. F. W. Walther as Präses [president]; Dr.
W. Sihler as Vice-president; F. W. Husmann as Secretary; and F. W.
Barthel as Treasurer.

b, as examiners of the examination committee: G. H. Löber and Dr.
W. Sihler.

c, for correspondence with foreign countries: G. H. Löber.

d, as chronicler: Ottomar Fürbringer.

e, for the mission commission: C. J. H. Fick as chairman; A. Crämer as
secretary; and F. W. Barthel as treasurer.

f, for the committee for publishing the "Lutheraner": J. Bünger and F.
W. Barthel.

The visitor C. Fricke was then solemnly dismissed, after which the
synod adjourned until the Wednesday after Trinity, 1848.

To God alone be glory!
