manuscript, Dr. Abbetmeyer, Rev. H. P. Eckhardt, Rev. G. J. Wegener,
and the following persons from St. Louis: Professors Dau and Gräbner
and Pastors Buchheimer and Fritz. This enlarged committee is to
examine the present English manuscript further, taking into account
the work of the German committee, and have it revised and printed,
respectively.

Adopted.

3. We recommend that the Agenda appear in a double edition, as an
altar book and in pocket format with the most essential formularies.

Adopted.

Further resolved, that both Agendas, the German and the English, be
printed as soon as possible.

Commission for Children's and Youth Literature.

The following regulations were established:

1. The commission is for the time being to consist of five members
and to have its seat in St. Louis for now.

2. The chairman of the commission is to be a member of the faculty
of our Concordia Seminary.

3. The first election of the commission is to proceed as follows:
the chairman elected by the Synod chooses a second member, these two
choose the third, and these three choose the remaining two. All
subsequent elections shall be carried out in the manner ordered by
the Synod.

4. The commission is required to submit a brief report on its
activity at every meeting of the General Synod.

5. The task of the commission shall chiefly consist in selecting the
best and soundest works from the great mass of German and English
books and writings that have been written for children and young
people. If the commission finds that for certain areas or subjects
no books exist that correspond to the needs of our children, it will
make it its concern to produce such books or have them produced.

6. The books and writings selected and revised by the commission
will then be handed over to the Board of Directors of our Concordia
Publishing House for printing or distribution.

7. Naturally, these manuscripts are also subject to the final
censorship of the St. Louis faculty, like all other printed matter
of the Concordia Publishing House.

8. At the commission's instigation, the Board will from time to time
issue a suitable special catalog of children's and youth literature.

9. The expenses arising for the commission in its work will be
reimbursed to it by the Board of Directors of the publishing house.
