The undersigned committee, on behalf of the Honorable Presidium, has conscientiously examined the report of the Honorable Ev.-Luth. Synod of Missouri and other States [printed in English] for the year 1905 and has found nothing in it that would be contrary to the Word of God and the confession of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. Subject of the doctrinal discussions: "The Christian Church." [printed in English] F. Bergen.

IV. Various Papers and Petitions.

1. Pastor H. L. Woltmann read a petition in which the Synodical Conference [*Synodalkonferenz*] was asked to lend its name to the incorporation of the Children's Friend Society of South Dakota, because the members of that society belong to two different synods of the Synodical Conference. In reply it was emphasized that such undertakings lie wholly outside the scope of the Synodical Conference; therefore it was resolved to lay this petition on the table.

2. The Synodical Conference permitted Director Weißbrodt to give an address on the institution under his supervision for the education of feeble-minded and epileptic children. He reported on the purpose and aim of the institution, as well as on its successes so far, and recommended it most warmly to the care of the whole Synodical Conference.

3. A committee on excuses was appointed by the chairman; the committee's report, however, was laid on the table, since it is not for the Synodical Conference, but for the individual synods and synodical districts, to check the attendance of their delegates at the proceedings of the Synodical Conference.

4. A petition of the Walther League was handed to a committee for an opinion. It submitted the following report:

"Chicago, Ill., 21 August 1906.
"The undersigned committee has deliberated on a petition of various young people's societies within the Ev. Luth. Synodical Conference. Your committee takes the liberty of recommending to the Honorable Synodical Conference that it encourage the synods and their congregations to take care of the confirmed youth in every way and in the most vigorous manner.
"With respect and reverence
"C. J. Albrecht.
"H. Wente."
It was resolved to accept this committee report.
