Committee on Constitutional Matters a considerable number of
changes and revisions in the Handbook made by the last three con-
ventions were written out and are ready to be embodied in a new
edition of our present regulations. Changes made by the last con-

Matters in this report referring to “Institutions,” “Missions,”
and “Constitutional Matters” were disposed of by action of Synod
under the respective departments. It should be noted here, however,
that concerning 601, A, 8, Synod resolved that the Board of Directors
should not buy or sell real estate except in case of emergency.

As to “Financial Matters” in this report, Committee 19 submitted
the following recommendations : —

of Directors be accepted and that the Board be commended for its
attempts to balance the budget during the past triennium.

9. We recommend that the appointment of a Synodical Finance
Committee be ratified.

3. We recommend that Synod gratefully acknowledge the fact
that many individuals have turned back for synodical purposes the
interest on their loans to Synod and that in some cases even the prin-
cipal was donated.

4, We recommend that the Synodical Finance Committee be con-
tinued. (CO, 2.)

5. We recommend that the action of the Board of Directors, as
reported in Overture 601, A, 4, be approved, but that henceforth all
repairs at our institutions be defrayed out of the Synodical Treasury ;
also that the various boards and faculties be commended for their
cooperation in reducing the cost of operating our institutions.

6. We recommend that the Board be encouraged to pursue a
policy of rigid economy.

Action of Synod.
