Fourth Delegate Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States. 1884.   85

                        The Concordia Synod.

    Resolved, that the admission of the "Concordia Synod" into the
"Synodical Conference" is hereby ratified on the part of our Synod.

                        The Synodical Address.

    Resolved, that the synodical address be published immediately in
the "Lutheraner."

                        The Synodical Sermon.

    Resolved, that the sermon held by Director Krauß at the opening of
the Synod likewise be published in the "Lutheraner."

                        Appeal by the President.

    Resolved, that the General President be charged, for the purpose of
raising the funds granted by the Synod for synodical buildings, with
having an appeal to the synodical congregations appear in the
"Lutheraner," an appeal in which the necessity of the grants made is
set forth, and in which the congregations are asked to hand over the
granted funds quite soon.

                        Railroad Matter.

    Resolved, that the motion that the Synod appoint a suitable person,
for all future occasions, to conduct the negotiations necessary with the
various railroad companies for obtaining fare reductions, be rejected.
    Resolved, that Mr. Rohlfing be reimbursed, exceptionally, from the
synodical treasury for the expenses in the amount of $16.25 which he
incurred in his effort to obtain fare reductions for those traveling to the
dedication of the new seminary at St. Louis and for the present
delegates — not as a matter of strict obligation, but out of regard for
fairness.
