«We recommend that, whenever the terms under which such
ends were obtained do not prevent this, all permanent trust funds
“¢ Synod and of all departments of Synod, of whatever nature, be
Jd in trust by Synod’s Treasurer until or unless Synod itself shall
rovide otherwise.

“ «Synod had adopted the resolution offered by the Special Board
f the L. L. L. Endowment Fund as recommended by Committee 18
wn “Board of Support,” page 208: ‘The fund shall be invested in
Government or high-class State and municipal bonds, and in other
high-grade revenue-producing loans, offering in all cases a maximum
: of security and a reasonable return on the investment.’ We now
* yecommend, as suggested by the Board of Auditors, page 195, that
§ynod’s rules regarding the character of the investments for the
“J, L. L. Endowment Fund should also govern all other trust funds of
“Synod.

“Synod has also authorized the Special Board of the L. L. L. En-
dowment Fund to make custodian account arrangements with a Trust
Company of high standing and reputation.

_ “We recommend that Synod authorize its Board of Directors to
make a similar arrangement regarding all other trust funds of Synod,
the Board of Directors to appoint the trustees, select the trust com-
