48 MINUTES OF THE CONVENTION

p.m. The delegates, however, adopted a motion to ad-
journ the entire convention.

Closing

After President Preus had installed newly elected
officers of the Synod, he spoke to the delegates briefly,
basing his devotional remarks on a section of 1 Corinthi-

ans. He stated his desire that no one should go home
saying that they had won or lost. The delegates had been
asked to deal with many difficult things and would be
asked to answer many questions after they return to
their homes. He asked them to remember that Jesus is
Lord.

Wa ter Rosin, Assistant Secretary
