It contains a discussion of the question: "What does Holy Scripture say concerning its dignity and its origin?" M. Tirmenstein. C. Gausewitz. The undersigned has read the report of the Kansas District of the Reverend Synod of Missouri, Ohio and Other States, containing an excellent treatise on the duty of the Lutheran Christians of this country to lead a good walk of life toward unbelievers and the false-believing, and has found it in accordance with the Word of God. O. Hoyer. At the instance of the Reverend President Bading, the undersigned have examined the synodical report of the Minnesota and Dakota District of the Reverend Missouri Synod for the year 1891. The report contains an excellent *Referat* [paper read to the convention] on the Fifth Commandment. We found everything in it in accordance with the Word of God. J. Schaller. C. J. Albrecht. The undersigned has read synodical reports 4 and 5 of the Middle District of the Reverend Missouri Synod and found nothing in them contrary to Holy Scripture and the confession of our Church. J.

The undersigned, commissioned by the Right Reverend President of the Synodical Conference [*Synodalconferenz*] to go through the report of the proceedings of the Western District of the Synod of Missouri, Ohio and Other States at its convention of the previous year, have undertaken their task and examined it. The doctrinal proceedings had as their subject "the right doctrine of the call to the holy ministry in its importance for pastors and congregations."

The undersigned has examined the report of the Wisconsin District of the Missouri Synod, dealing with the 17th thesis of the theses which seek to answer the question: "What are the qualities of a well-grounded
