Resolved, that the Synod express the urgent wish that the support
committees of the individual Districts, even those that receive no
subsidy from the General Fund, report on the state of their funds to
the General Support Committee, in accordance with the provisions
adopted by the Delegate Synod in 1896. (See the 1896 report, p. 123.)

Resolved, that the motion "that the General Support Committee
should not merely issue receipts in the synodical report, but should
also have its receipts appear annually in the 'Lutheraner,'" be
rejected.

Resolved, that the widow of the late missionary to the Jews, D.
Landsmann, be granted an annual support of $240.00 from the General
Support Fund.

Resolved, that the support previously given to the aforementioned
widow, which had been drawn from the Jewish Missions Fund, be repaid
into that fund from the General Support Fund. (Cf. p. 91.)

election was carried out. — The following is the result of the
election:

L. Hölter, 254 votes; C. Groß, 252 votes; Fr. Sievers, 237
votes; J. P. Beyer, 230 votes; H. Wunder,
