40 Proceedings of the thirtieth convention

We further recommend that the Synodical Conference express to the Mission
Director, the Mission Board and the superintendents and missionaries its appreciation for their faithful and diligent
work. — Adopted.

On 12. Recommendation of the committee: That the "Missionstaube"
and the Lutheran Pioneer be continued two more years at their present strength
and that every effort be made to increase the circulation
of these papers. — Adopted.

The committee further recommends that a detailed report on
this year's convention of the Synodical Conference appear in the "Missionstaube"
and in the Lutheran Pioneer, and that the relevant
issues of both papers be sent to all pastors and teachers of the Synodical
Conference. — Adopted.

Your committee recommends in conclusion that all delegates not wait until the
next convention of their synodical district before they report on the
Synodical Conference, but do so as soon as possible.
The pastors especially are to be encouraged to report soon and in detail at the pastoral
conferences. — Adopted.

Signed in the name and by commission of the committee

its chairman: F. J. Lankenau,
its secretary: Martin Gräbner.

Treasurer's Report [*Kassenbericht*].

The treasurer of the Synodical Conference, Mr. Albert Grütt, had
sent in a report which stated that of a cash balance
of $211.56 on 1 August 1924 $15.08 had been paid out for expenses of the secretary
and thus on 1 August 1926 a cash balance
of $196.48 was on hand.
A committee consisting of Messrs. W. H. Seehausen and A. C.
Zimmer had examined this report and declared it correct. The report was
adopted.

Appeal and Counter-Petition Concerning a Dispute
at Crete, Ill.

The committee appointed by the President on resolution of the Synodical Conference
to examine an appeal and a counter-petition
concerning a dispute at Crete, Ill., reported as follows:

"Since your committee lacked necessary documents, or rather the relevant
witnesses; since further, under the new rule adopted by the Reverend
Synod of Missouri, the district presidents are authorized to act first: we therefore recommend to the Reverend
Synodical Conference to refer the Crete case to the competent district
presidents."

H. B. Hemmeter, chairman.
Paul T. Brockmann, secretary.
Rich. Kretzschmar.
F. C. Verwiebe.
W. Bodamer.
M. E. Strieter.
J. H. Schäfer.

This report was adopted.
