"For the course of business we refer to the detailed report of the General Agent, which is appended to this report.

"We have audited the General Agent's books weekly; we have also had the monthly trial balances and the quarterly and annual closings submitted to us and have examined them. The business was closed annually on the day fixed by the Synod, February 1, at the same time as the books of the General Treasurer.
