protest against the forcing on to them a renewal of the controversy
which for years has agitated the minds, and which was recently
settled in a manner which met with general favor, and was hailed
with great joy by our churches.

“ ‘We therefore kindly request you, as Praeses of the Synodical
Conference, to convey this our opinion to the delegation of the
Synodical Conference, and in order that the venerable fathers and
brothers may not be led to believe that we are unwilling to listen
to their grievances, we have elected a committee, consisting of the
Rt. Rev. Dr. H. G. Stub, Prof. Dr. J. Ylvisaker, and the Rt. Rev. O. P.
Vangsnes, which committee will meet and confer with the delegation
chosen by the Synodical Conference, if said delegation finds it con-
venient and proper to meet with our men.

“ ‘With fraternal greetings:

“ ‘The Church Council of the Norwegian Synod.

“ ‘By J. NORDBY, Secretary.

“ ‘Resolution adopted at the regular meeting of Church Council
in Minneapolis, in January, 1913.’

“ ‘Reverend and dear Brother, —

“ ‘Under date of May 1, the President of the Ev. Luth. Synodical
Conference, Rev. C. Gausewitz, forwards to me a letter containing a
“Resolution adopted at the regular meeting of Church Council in
Minneapolis, in January, 1913,” and signed by you as secretary. In
this letter you say, with reference to an action taken at the late con-
vention of the Synodical Conference at Saginaw, as follows: “The
proposed method of procedure, namely, to send a delegation to our
synodical meetings to take up the matter for discussion at the same,
would prove very unfortunate and result in new complications, and,
instead of benefiting, would do harm to the fraternal relation which
it is your desire, as well as ours, to maintain.” You also say in this
letter to the Rev. Gausewitz: “We therefore kindly request you, as
Praeses of the Synodical Conference, to convey this our opinion to
the delegation of the Synodical Conference, and in order that the
venerable fathers and brothers may not be led to believe that we are

and the Rt. Rev. O. P. Vangsnes, which committee will meet and
confer with the delegation chosen by the Synodical Conference, if
said delegation finds it convenient and proper to meet with our men.”’
