36 Verhandlungen der dreizehnten Verſammlung

Die Ernennung einer eigenen Schul⸗Committee wurde für unnöthig
gehalten, weil alle unſere Synoden, welche von den bekannten Schulgeſetzen
betroffen werden, ihre eigenen Committees haben, und eine ſolche von der
Synodalconferenz ernannte Committee kaum einen Wirkungskreis haben
würde.

Die zur Ausarbeitung einer ſolchen Erklärung ernannte Committee,
beſtehend aus: Prof. A. Ernſt, Paſtor J. Herzer, Prof. G. W. Müller,
Prof. O. Hoyer, reichte folgenden Bericht ein. Derſelbe wurde zum Be⸗
ſchluß erhoben.

Erklärung.

Die Synodalconferenz, der größte evangeliſch⸗lutheriſche allgemeine
Kirchenkörper, beſtehend aus den evangeliſch⸗lutheriſchen Synoden von
Minneſota u. a. Staaten, Miſſouri, Ohio u. a. Staaten, Wisconſin
u. a. Staaten und der General English Evangelical Lutheran Con-
ference of Missouri and other States, erklärt:

1. Daß wir die von der Allgemeinen Synode von Miſſouri u. ſ. w.
bereits gefaßten Beſchlüſſe betreffs der Schulfrage zu den unſrigen machen.

2. Daß wir ebenfalls die von der Synode von Wisconſin u. ſ. w.
gefaßten Beſchlüſſe gutheißen.

3. Daß wir ſympathiſiren mit den Brüdern in Illinois und Wis⸗
conſin, denen jetzt der Schulſtreit aufgedrungen iſt, und daß wir ſie in die⸗
ſem Kampf, ſoweit es möglich iſt, unterſtützen wollen.

Wortlaut der Erklärung in engliſcher Sprache.

theran Conference of Missouri and other states, do declare as follows:

1. That we indorse the resolutions on the school question adopted
by the Joint Synod of Missouri, etc.;

2. That we likewise indorse the resolutions adopted by the Synod
of Wisconsin, etc.;

36 Proceedings of the thirteenth convention

The appointment of a separate school committee was considered unnecessary, because all our synods that are affected by the well-known school laws have their own committees, and such a committee appointed by the Synodical Conference [*Synodalconferenz*] would hardly have a field of activity.

The committee appointed to draft such a declaration, consisting of Prof. A. Ernst, Pastor J. Herzer, Prof. G. W. Müller, and Prof. O. Hoyer, submitted the following report. It was adopted as a resolution.

Declaration.

The Synodical Conference, the largest general Evangelical Lutheran church body, consisting of the Evangelical Lutheran synods of Minnesota and other states, Missouri, Ohio and other states, Wisconsin and other states, and the General English Evangelical Lutheran Conference of Missouri and other States, declares:

1. That we make our own the resolutions on the school question already adopted by the general body [*Allgemeine Synode*; the convention's own English below says "Joint Synod"] of Missouri, etc.

2. That we likewise approve the resolutions adopted by the Synod of Wisconsin, etc.

3. That we sympathize with the brethren in Illinois and Wisconsin, on whom the school dispute has now been forced, and that we wish to support them in this struggle as far as is possible.

Text of the Declaration in the English Language.

We, the Synodical Conference, the largest general Evangelical

1. That we indorse the resolutions on the school question adopted
by the Joint Synod of Missouri, etc.;

2. That we likewise indorse the resolutions adopted by the Synod
