B. Report of Committee 19 B on the Reinitz
Reappeal Case

Whereas additional evidence has been produced which casts
some doubt upon the justice of the action of the officials of the
Minnesota and Dakota District at the time in declaring Pastor Her-
man Reinitz ineligible for the ministry,

We recommend that Synod reopen this case by turning the
matter over to a special committee, with power to act. This com-
mittee is to consist of Pastor H. J. Boettcher of Edmonton, Alberta,
President J. Lucht of McNutt, Saskatchewan, and Mr. 'T. Herzer of
Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Signed: Pau Kornic, Chairman Geo. M. Kracu, Secretary

will cooperate; therefore be it
