of the Ev. Luth. Synodical Conference of North America. 1898. 51

district synod of Michigan of the General Synod of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan, did not take part in the withdrawal of the old Michigan Synod from the Synodical Conference [*Synodalconferenz*], and since their position in doctrine and practice has remained that of the Synodical Conference, the committee recommends that the District Synod of Michigan be recognized as standing in membership connection with the Synodical Conference.

VI. Miscellaneous.

An inquirer who had written to the Synodical Conference from Brownton, Minn., is to be referred by the secretary to his pastor or to a pastor of the Synodical Conference to be designated to him.

The last two protocols (minutes) of the present meeting are to be handed to the delegates from St. Louis for review.

The synods belonging to the Synodical Conference are to be asked to check their representation at the meetings of this body better in future.

The hearty thanks of the convention for the hospitality shown are to be expressed to the congregation at Cincinnati, together with its pastor and also its young people's society, which had entertained the Synodical Conference specially one evening.

VII. Next Meeting of the Synodical Conference.

Invitations to hold the next convention of the Synodical Conference had come in from St. Andrew's Congregation (Pastor Senne) in Buffalo, N. Y.; from Immanuel Congregation (Pastor Gräbner) in Bay City, Mich.; and from St. Paul's Congregation (Pastor Albrecht) in New Ulm, Minn. An invitation from a congregation in Boston, Mass., was still outstanding from the last convention at Evansville. The invitation from Bay City was accepted by majority vote.

As the time for the next convention of the Synodical Conference the second Wednesday in August 1900 was set.

The doctrinal discussions are to take the theses of Prof. Gräbner now before the convention as their subject, and Prof. Gräbner was re-elected as reader of the paper (*Referent*) for them.
