Exhibit
The Synod-wide FLW Committee is to sponsor an elaborate

projects financed by the FLW, but may also include other missions
of Synod, such as India, China, Nigeria, South America, Deaf an

Blind Missions, and such other projects as are being carried on;
by the organizations. The exhibits should be open during the
convention days and shall be in charge of the local members of aa
the FLW. These exhibits are to be made as attractive as possible
and may be used all or in part by district FLW Conventions.

Your Committee was also charged with the duty of considering :
the advisability of establishing a committee on woman’s work’
similar to the now existing Committee on Young People’s Work.
Your Committee is of the opinion that, if the women of our Synod
will be organized along the plan mapped out above, there will be.
no need of a synodical committee on women’s work, as under the
proposed plan such an organization will operate under the super-
vision and guidance of constituted authorities. Your Committee
therefore recommends that no action in this direction be taken.

Regarding Unprinted Memorial No. 38* requesting “that Synod
recognize the three major organizations, to wit, Walther League,
Lutheran Laymen’s League, and Lutheran Woman’s League, and
that Synod give its approval to a general coordinated and grad-
uated system to insure coordination, adaptation, and graduation,”
your Committee recommends that action on this memorial be held
in abeyance until its Synod-wide Woman's Organization is estab-
lished or formed.

Respectfully submitted,

(The Committee also considered Unprinted Memorial 66 which asked °

for the establishment of a National Women’s Organization, with the sup-

port of deaconesses, teachers, and medical work as permanent objectives.
It endorsed Memorial 903.)
