124 Proceedings of the 25th General, or

so that, under the editorship of Prof. Stöckhardt, a complete commentary
on the whole of Holy Scripture may come about as soon as possible.

11. Resolved — occasioned by a petition concerning the installation
notices of our parochial-school teachers — that the Synod express it as its
wish and will that these installation notices henceforth appear in the
*Lutheraner* [the Synod's German-language paper], as its official organ.

12. In view of the fact (according to a petition pointing this out) that
the so-called Revised Luther Bible is gaining such widespread
circulation, resolved, that our edition of the old Luther Bible be marked
on the title page, by an added note, as the unadulterated text of Luther,
and that the faculty at St. Louis be charged with wording this note.

13. Resolved, that the petition concerning the hiring of colporteurs
[traveling book peddlers] in the interest of our Concordia Publishing
House be referred to the Board of Directors, leaving it to their discretion
whether hiring colporteurs is advisable.

14. Resolved, that our Synod also take part in the upcoming World's
Fair at St. Louis in 1904 by exhibiting its synodical school system, that is,
the teaching materials it has produced. It therefore encourages the
parochial schools and higher educational institutions within its ranks to
further this cause by submitting work.

15. Resolved, that the faculty at Addison be appointed a central
committee charged with carrying out this matter of the exhibition. The
expenses arising from this on the spot are to be covered by the Concordia
Publishing House.

16. Resolved, that the motion asking that the Synod have the books it
publishes, especially the school books, including the Bible and
catechism, printed henceforth according to the new orthography, be
rejected, since the question of what the new orthography even is has not
yet found a generally satisfactory answer even in Germany itself.

17. Resolved, that Prof. Pieper's address, "The Essence of
Christianity," also be published in pamphlet form, and that not only in
German but also in the English language.

18. Resolved — on a motion of the delegates, following a resolution
they had passed in a special session — that the Synod grant its worthy
President, in compensation for the many unavoidable expenses he incurs
in connection with his presidential office — particularly on his frequent
travels — the sum of $300.00 annually from the Synodical treasury.

19. Resolved, that for the same reason such compensation also be
given to the two worthy Vice-Presidents, by payment from the Synodical
treasury in the amount of $100.00 each annually.
