In submitting the foregoing report for the triennium 1923 to
1926, your Treasurer expresses cordial thanks to all the good people
of Synod who by virtue of their respective offices have contributed
their share to the performance of his duties. This applies particularly
to Messrs. A. G. Brauer, Robert Leonhardt, and Walter Schlueter, the
advisory committee, under whose guidance all investments in secur-

ment under which Mr. Eckhart keeps Synod’s books has not only
eliminated an item of expense for clerical help for the Treasurer's
office, but is furnishing @ valuable additional check on all money
transactions, both incoming and outgoing.
To give all the details that I usually give in my annual report

necessary. The present report js arranged 80 as to prove quite valu- .-
able in considering and discussing proposals for the next triennium,
as it shows the receipts and disbursements grouped by years. When: °
making comparisons with previous or with future years, it must not
be lost sight of that the year 1923, as far as my record goes, covers
thirteen months. ;
Synod’s attention is respectfully called to the fact that the Un-
