After Mr. J. F. Schuricht, the Synod's faithful and long-serving treasurer,
had just begun the above treasurer's report, the Lord of the Church laid him
on his deathbed, and the report had to be completed several weeks after his
passing, by a friend's hand, from his books. This report covering the
triennium could therefore not first be submitted to the treasury-audit
committee. But since all the balances are, and must be, the same as those in
the annual report of January 1, 1914, which was before the auditor at his
last audit, the auditor's report also covers this summary for the triennium.

St. Louis, Mo., April 13, 1914.

G. H. Runge, Treasurer pro tem.

Committee report.

We have been assured by Mr. Wm. Schlake that the books of our Synod's
treasurer, now fallen asleep in the Lord, have been examined and found
correct, and that the securities have been delivered to the acting
treasurer. — Report accepted.

In honored memory.

By unanimous resolution — with the assembly rising — the great convention
honored the memory of its treasurer J. F. Schuricht, who had entered into
blessed rest, and who served the Synod for many years without pay, with
excellent wisdom, outstanding skill, great faithfulness, and conscientiousness.
