...afternoon preacher, hearty thanks be given after the close of the
sermon for the hospitable reception and generous entertainment that the
Synod enjoyed during the days of its convention.
Note: That no public thanks are expressed here to our outgoing General
Präses [president], whom the Synod, with deep sorrow, saw depart from his
richly blessed office, for his faithful and diligent administration —
known well enough to all — happens at his own urgent request, that such a
vote of thanks be omitted for him.
