*) Immediately after the Norwegian delegate, Prof. F. A. Schmidt, was named, Pastor O. Hanser protested, in his own name and in that of all the Missouri delegates, against his unconditional admission to a seat and vote in the Synodical Conference, and declared that after the organization of the body he was prepared to lay a reasoned written protest before the Conference. — Pastor Tirmenstein of the Minnesota Synod also protested, in the name of his synod, against recognizing Prof. F. A. Schmidt as a voting and advisory member of the Conference. And after the delegates of the Wisconsin Synod had been certified, Pastor Bading also rose and likewise declared that, in his own name and in that of all the Wisconsin delegates, he must lodge a protest against the admission of Prof. Schmidt. It was therefore resolved, with Prof. Schmidt's suspension for the time being, first to complete the full organization of the body and afterwards to examine the protests.
