IV. Visitations.

As for visitations, 27 congregations were visited in the past
synodical year.

Dr. Sihler visited the congregations of Pastors Streckfuß,
Werfelmann, Nützel, Kalb, Richmann, Habel, Fritze, Schwan, Steinbach,
Strieter, Kühn, König, and Detzer. I visited the congregations of
Pastors Clöter, Röbbelen, Sievers, Gräbner, Mießler, Schaller, Geyer,
Fürbringer, Lochner, Dulitz, Günther, Scholz, and Eirich, and, on my
behalf, Pastor Fürbringer visited the congregation of Pastor Stephan.
The Lord continues to crown with blessing the faithfulness and
self-denial He has worked in His servants in the conduct of their
office, and although here and there something may still be wanting
in individual congregations, all the congregations we visited show
growth both in knowledge and in godly living.

Whatever else is to be reported, the committees charged by the
Venerable Synod will take the liberty of presenting.

Finally, it is my sad duty to report to the Venerable Synod the
withdrawal of Pastors Deindörfer and Habel from our synodical
fellowship.
