9. Resolved, that, owing to certain circumstances, the petition of the congregation at Denver, Colo. — that the capital loaned to it from the Synodical fund be made over to it as a gift, or, respectively, that its debt be remitted — must indeed be answered in the negative, but that it be given the assurance that, under the circumstances named in its petition, the Synod will continue for the time being to be patient regarding repayment of the capital, and that the hard-pressed congregation be given the advice to turn, by means of a circular signed by the responsible officers of the Synod, to all the congregations of our Synod, for the purpose of obtaining the means for the thoroughly necessary enlargement of its church.

10. Resolved, that the petition of the North Illinois Pastoral Conference (see p. 137) be referred to the Committee on Incorporation Questions elected by the Synod (see p. 154) for consideration, or report, at the next General Synod.

11. Resolved, that, with the exception of Luther's Works and all devotional books published up to now, all books and publications of the Synod — including the school Bible — shall, from January 1, 1906, be published in the newest orthography.

12. Resolved, that the handwriting script in primers and copybooks be made uniform.

13. Resolved, that in all books furnished with the newest orthography, whatever needs revision shall appear as revised.

14. Resolved, that the Synod approves the publication of the small Synodical Catechism in German and English in one volume (a parallel edition).

15. Resolved, that the motion to divide the reading material of the third reader (new series) and the larger part of Reader III for upper classes (in the newest orthography), so that a third through sixth reader results for the fourth through seventh school years, be placed in the hands of the Cleveland Teachers' Conference.

16. Resolved, that Mr. P. Henriksen of Lindsay, Nebr., be granted permission to translate our Synodical Catechism into Danish. The publication of this work of his shall, however, take place only after it has been reviewed, or respectively revised, by the faculty of the seminary of the Norwegian Synod, which stands with us in unity of faith.
