11. Report on the synodical report of the Western District of the
Missouri Synod of the year 1885.

The undersigned have, as commissioned, gone through the synodical report of the
Western District of the Reverend Synod of Missouri, Ohio and other States of the
year 1885. The subject of its proceedings was
the proposition: "That God alone is given all the
honor only through the doctrine of the Lutheran Church is evident, twelfthly, also from its doctrine of
obedience to men in matters of faith and conscience," which
is broken down into four closer theses.

The proceedings conducted on this subject are as clear
and convincing as they are in accord with Scripture.

Respectfully

Conr. Jäger.
R. Pieper.

12. Report on the synodical report of the Wisconsin District of the
Missouri Synod of the year 1885.

The undersigned committee has, as commissioned, gone through and
examined the report of the Wisconsin District of the Reverend Missouri Synod of the year 1885. The report deals with the question: "What are the properties
of a well-grounded, truly Lutheran congregation, toward which
therefore Lutheran preachers with their congregations as their goal
have to strive?" — and indeed specially with Thesis XIII: "It (a well-
grounded truly Lutheran congregation) believes from the heart in the presence
of the body and blood of Christ in the Holy Supper and seeks therefore
to prevent that anyone at its table should receive it to his judgment." —
The subject in question was thoroughly and in accord with sound doctrine
discussed.

13. Report on the synodical reports of the Reverend Synod of Wisconsin
and other States of the years 1884 and 1885.

The Reverend Wisconsin Synod occupied itself in the year '84 in the
time devoted to doctrinal proceedings with theses on the authority and
use of Holy Scripture. In the year 1885 theses were brought to completion
which had already been begun in the year 1881 and dealt with the means
of grace.
