The undersigned committee had indeed received from the Venerable Synodical Conference the commission also to examine the report of the said synod of the year 1884 and to report on it, but could not do so because it has not yet appeared. — In the report of 1883 the "doctrinal proceedings are based on theses on the authority and use of Holy Scripture."

The same holds also of the discussion of the first part of the second thesis, which deals with the grateful and diligent use of Holy Scripture. Here the doctrinal proceedings in the present report are concluded. The committee testifies with joy that it has found everything in accord with the wholesome doctrine. — The "business proceedings" also show lively zeal for God's kingdom.

With respect, signed
