84 Proceedings of the nineteenth convention

From the Committee that was to examine the synodical report of the Nebraska District of the Honorable Missouri Synod for the year 1900 a rather long report had been submitted, containing various objections. It was handed to a Committee, which gave the following opinion:

The undersigned Committee takes the liberty of proposing to the Honorable Synodical Conference [*Synodalconferenz*] the following:

1. That the committee report, which passes judgment on the statements of the Nebraska District about life and fire insurance, be laid on the table;

2. that at the next convention of the Synodical Conference the question, much debated at present, how life and fire insurance are to be judged according to God's Word, be taken up for discussion, say in an afternoon session.

F. Pieper.
Ph. v. Rohr.
J. J. Bernthal.
Jobst H. Büning.

It was resolved to adopt the recommendation under No. 1.

The report of the Committee that was to examine the synodical report of the Michigan District of the Honorable Missouri Synod for the year 1901 was rejected by unanimous resolution.

Further resolved, to hand this synodical report of the Michigan District to another Committee for examination, which is to report to the Synodical Conference in the year 1904.

Finally resolved, that the objections of the first examining committee be transmitted to the second Committee.

The Committee that had examined the synodical report of the Honorable Minnesota Synod for the year 1900 took exception to a sentence in this synodical report. A Committee was commissioned to examine the passage attacked; it submitted the following report:

The Committee which was commissioned to look through the synodical report of the Honorable Synod of Minnesota for the year 1900 in order to establish whether the sentence objected to by the examining committee is found in it, reports after careful examination that the sentence in question does not occur in it. A. F. Ernst.

F. W. A. Notz.

After this committee report had been adopted, it was resolved to send the examining committee its report back and to request it to submit a different report for the next session of the Synodical Conference.
