On Wednesday evening, June 6, Pastor Sievers preached on
Eph. 2:19–22: "On the Holy Church of the Lord: 1. Who are its
members? 2. On what is it founded? and 3. What is its
purpose?"

On Friday evening, June 8, Pastor Bürger preached on Psalm
32:12: "The forgiveness of sins, a glorious gift of grace."

On Sunday, June 10, the first Sunday after Trinity, in the
morning, Pastor Keyl gave the confessional address on the words of the
Small Catechism: "Where there is forgiveness of sins, there is also life
and salvation."

Then Pastor Jäbker preached on the Gospel for the day, Luke
16:19–31: "The rich man and poor Lazarus; namely: 1. their
inequality in this life, and then 2. their opposite fate in the
life to come."

The celebration of the Holy Supper then followed.

In the afternoon Pastor Baumgart preached on Matt. 28:19, compare
Mark 16:16: "On Baptism: a. its dignity, b. its power, c. its
covenant."

On Wednesday evening, June 13, Pastor Fick delivered a mission
sermon on Mark 16:14–20: "It is precisely for this reason that we can so
confidently do our part, at the Lord's command, toward the conversion of
the heathen, because we know from God's Word that the Lord has already
done everything, and will continue to do everything, so that the Gospel
may be proclaimed to all people and thereby lead them to the knowledge
of the truth."

On Friday evening, June 15, Pastor Röbbelen preached on
John 10:14–16: "Christ the Shepherd: 1. gives his sheep everything,
because he gives them himself; 2. wants to draw all to himself, that
they may be united in him; 3. finds few who come to him to be fed by
him."

On Sunday, June 17, the second Sunday after Trinity, in the
morning, Pastor Lochner preached on the Gospel for the day,
Luke 14:16–24: "All shall be saved, but not all want to be
saved."

In the afternoon Pastor Richmann preached on the Epistle pericope
for the day, 1 John 3:13–18: "On the power of brotherly love."

Thus the Synod could once again close its sessions, deliberations,
and labors for this year — and so we too can close this present
Synod report — with the heartiest thanks toward the
Lord our God, whose gracious help has so faithfully furthered our work
thus far, and with the joyful, confident hope that
he who has helped us to this point will continue to help us further.

Conclusion.

After the Synod, in its last session, had disposed of a few remaining
matters, and in particular had given the necessary instructions
regarding the editing of this year's proceedings, it finally
proceeded to determine the place and time of its convention for next
year. The vote showed that, God willing, St. Louis would be the place
and the Wednesday after Trinity again the time of our
next year's Synod convention.

The Lord has done great things for us; we are glad.
