13th Delegate Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States, 1911. 149

...house, hospital, or similar institution, and two active and disinterested businessmen, and that on this committee the Board of Directors have a seat and a vote through one representative. The members of this committee should (with the possible exception of the Board) live as close together as possible, since two or even more meetings may be necessary. The committee should, about six to eight weeks before its first meeting, call for proposals through a notice in the "Lutheraner," and should have acted definitively well before January 1, 1912.

Should changes regarding our "Lutheraner" come up for consideration at the suggestion of a conference or a synodical district, we recommend that the Reverend Synod elect or have appointed a committee of five or seven, which shall carefully examine all relevant recommendations from conferences, districts, or private individuals, and shall finally have the right of decision over all relevant questions, so that the final decision of this committee shall have for us the same authority as a resolution of the Synod itself.

This committee should include approximately the present editor of the "Lutheraner," the Concordia Publishing House, represented by one man, and three, or respectively five, men from the Synod, who represent as far as possible different interests in this regard, but who live as close together as possible, so as to avoid expenses for the meeting or meetings, which, like those of the previous committee, are to be paid out of the synodical treasury.
