The first two proposals of the committee, concerning the asylum and Dietrich's explanation of the catechism, were adopted unanimously. With regard to the English liturgy it was remarked that it is indeed very desirable to lay the foundation for a liturgy as uniform as possible for the Lutheran congregations of this country, but that in our time it is not advisable to compose a new liturgy or agenda; it is best to translate an orthodox agenda. Some preparatory work toward that has already been done, for example by Pastor Wetzel and the late Pastor Miller. For lack of time this matter was provisionally laid on the table.

Treasurer's Report.

The committee appointed to examine the treasurer's account reported "that it had examined the report of the treasurer, Mr. J. Eitemüller, and found it correct, with a cash balance of $18.17, which is on hand and has been handed over to the newly elected treasurer, Mr. F. Chr. K. Beermann." This report was accepted.

Unfinished Business.

1. Theses on church fellowship.
2. Theses on the *Jus parochiale* [parochial right].
3. Theses on home mission.

Vote of Thanks.

It was resolved that the dear congregation of Pastor Wyneken be publicly given, in the closing service on Tuesday evening, the heartfelt thanks of the Synodical Conference [*Synodalconferenz*] for the loving reception and great hospitality.
