Committee for the Examination of Various Letters Received. Such a committee consisted of the following pastors appointed by the President: A. J. Dysterheft, F. H. Eggers, Wm. H. Dale, and the teachers Theo. M. Kosche and Louis Lücke. It presented the following recommendations, all of which were made resolutions: 1. that the petition from the Society of Friends, that we work hand in hand with them to banish war from the world, be tabled, since this is a purely secular matter with which the church as such has nothing to do. — Rev. F. J. Lankenau was instructed to write accordingly to the Society of Friends; 2. that the secretary of the Synodical Conference be instructed to notify a certain professor of the University of Berlin that he should apply to our publishing houses in Milwaukee and St. Louis for material for his work on church history; 3. that the protest of a pastor from Bohemia against the support of the congregations at Prague in Bohemia and Brünn [*Brunn*] in Moravia be referred to the Commission of the Wisconsin Synod for German Relief [*Deutschlandhilfe*]; 4. a. (prompted by the request of Mr. Howard C. Bell for statistical information), that the Synodical Conference have its own statistician; b. that it appoint Rev. E. Eckhardt, the statistician of the Missouri Synod, as such; c. that all members of the Synodical Conference be asked to give the statistician the desired information promptly and completely;
