of the Ev. Luth. Synodical Conference [*Synodalconferenz*] of North America. 1896. 63

The previous members of the Commission were re-elected to this office, and in addition, as sixth member, Pastor R. Kretzschmar.

At the urgent request of Pastor Hanser the editorship of the "Miſſions⸗Taube" [Mission Dove] was taken from him. Pastor Sapper was elected chief editor, Pastor R. Kretzschmar co-editor.

Prof. R. A. Bischoff was re-elected editor of the "Pioneer."

9. Report on the synodical reports of the Reverend Wisconsin Synod. (Reports are at hand.)

It was found very surprising that the committee reports were missing on so many synodical reports, and it was therefore resolved that these missing reports be laid before the Synodical Conference at its next session, and indeed also on the reports of the Reverend Michigan Synod.
