Three doctrinal papers were delivered. Dr.F. Pfotenhauer,
Honorary President of Synod, delivered a German essay on Dr.
Walther’s Kirche und Amt. Dr. J. T. Mueller spoke on “The
Christian Congregation’s Rights and Duties,” according to Dr. Wal-
ther’s Die rechte Gestalt einer evangelisch-lutherischen Orts-
gemeinde, Book I. Pastor Paul Schulz submitted a- paper: on
Dr. Walther’s The Evangelical Lutheran Church the True Visible
Church. , -

Prof. Paul Bente served as assistant secretary, writing the daily
minutes. Although Prof.H.Studtmann had been appointed as
German secretary according to the Handbook, p.59, §5, his ser-

vices were dispensed with, and the German minutes were abolished |

by a resolution passed in the first session, changing this paragraph
in the “Regulations.”
