for the collects (p. 152). We considered it good to give the Agenda [liturgical
service book], as an appendix, a second, richer form of the chief service. —

Submitted respectfully to the Reverend Synod by the
Committee for the Revision of our Agenda:

Concerning the Revision of our Hymnal.

To the Reverend Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States, assembled as
the 13th Delegate Synod at St. Louis, Mo., in May 1911.

In the name and on behalf of the above pastoral conference,
with distinguished respect,
Chicago, Ill., March 27, 1911. Ferdinand Sievers.

from May 10 to May 20, 1911.

At the last Delegate Synod at Fort Wayne in the year 1908, the
General Synod made an arrangement that was called a "Committee of
Trust for Appellants." In brief words its task is stated as follows:
"The Committee of Trust thus established shall investigate the whole
matter in the presence of the District President, in order to settle it
if possible." (Cf. 12th Delegate Syn., p. 149.)

Although these words are in themselves clear and may well suffice
for many in the exercise of their duty as members of the Committee of
