Ev. Luth. Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States. 1935. 807

Father by our congregations in the General Prayer, spoken in our
churches each Sunday, as well as in the Lord’s Prayer, it be recorded
as the earnest plea of Synod that our congregations give particular
attention in these prayers to the special needs of our time and that
the prayer for the blessings needed be made with that fervor which
should characterize all true prayer; furthermore, that the introduc-
tion of special prayers in the church services at regular intervals be
left to the congregations.
Action of Synod.
Synod adopted this resolution.
