of the Ev. Luth. Synodical Conference of North America. 1906. 73

V. Treasurers' Reports.

1. Since the report on the treasury of the Negro Mission lay before the convention in print, its reading was dispensed with. But the report of the auditing committee was read and accepted by resolution. The treasurer's report stands in the appendix of this report.

2. The treasurer of the Synodical Conference [*Synodalkonferenz*], Mr. H. A. Christiansen, had sent in his report. The report was read and, without further ado, acknowledged as correct by resolution, since its small scope made special examination seem unnecessary.
