Proceedings of Thirty-Third Regular Convention,

mendation reads: ‘This arrangement has nothing to do with mental
or spiritual matters, but only with physical exercises.. Hence it does
not infringe on the domain of Christian education; the exercises,
however, promote health. The commanding officer has absolutely
nothing to do with the discipline in the institution. We recommend
that Synod decline the petition to abolish this arrangement.’ ”
