the point that it can be given to the printer together with the new

English Order of Worship.

To the Reverend Delegate Synod, assembled at Chicago, Ill., from
May 6 to 16, 1914.

Reverend Fathers and Brethren!

The committee for drafting an English order of worship takes the
liberty of submitting the following report to the Reverend Synod.

should be inserted an English translation of the order for morning

from the former English Missouri Synod of a new, complete English
liturgy or Agenda [service book], consisting of prayers and

publish it as soon as possible at all.

3. The committee recommends a double edition of this liturgy: one
in a larger format as an altar book, and a pocket edition with the
most essential formularies.

The Committee:
C. Abbetmeyer.
H. P. Eckhardt.
G. J. Wegener.

Dr. Abbetmeyer be charged with seeing to the translation of the
German order of worship.

The committee's recommendation was raised to a resolution.

2. Since the Synod's committee for producing a new German Agenda
has now completed its work, and since it would be advisable for the
Agendas in both languages to be shaped as uniformly as possible, we
recommend to the Reverend Synod the establishment
