14th Delegate Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States, 1914.                    157

report to it. Our request is therefore that the Synod appoint one, or,
as needed, several committees, which shall annually audit the
directors' accounts and report to the General Synod.

We voice this wish not as though we doubted the faithful administration
of such funds, but so that here too the words of Scripture, "Let all
things be done honestly and in order," may be followed. Such an
arrangement can only be welcome to the directors themselves. It would
not only protect them from disparaging criticism, but would also guard
against all the suspicion so natural to the human heart, and preserve
their good name in its integrity.

In the name of the Northeastern Pastoral Conference of the
Wisconsin District,
its secretary,
H. A. Handrich.

Committee report.

Your committee recommends to a Reverend Synod that this petition
likewise be adopted as a resolution, namely, that the Synod appoint
one, or, as needed, several committees, which shall annually audit the
accounts of the directors and professors who administer students'
money, and report to the General Synod.

Adopted as a resolution. The President is to appoint the committees.

Students' Funds.

Committee report.

Your committee also had before it an unprinted petition concerning
the administration of the student funds, submitted by those
administrators of these funds in the districts who were present at the
Synod. This petition reads: Resolved, that the various administrators
of the Synod's bequests, endowments, and gifts for students be directed
to send, through the district presidents, an annual printed report to
the administrators of the student funds, stating the names of those
assisted and the sums they received.

Adopted as a resolution.

Petition of the Trustees of the Ev. Lutheran Concordia Home
at Marwood, Pa.

Committee report.

Your committee has examined this petition together with the documents
submitted. The facts are as follows: In 1911 the Synod resolved to
have the entire property of the said society transferred, but in the
transfer the house, or home, belonging to that property was overlooked
in the document.
