Eingabe.

The Norwegian Synod of the American Evangelical Lutheran
Church respectfully petitions the Evangelical Lutheran Synodical
Conference of North America to prepare and publish, through a joint
committee, an English hymnal for use in the various synods of the
Synodical Conference.
C. A. MOLDSTAD.

Das vom Präſes darüber eingeſetzte Komitee berichtete wie folgt:

WHEREAS, The Norwegian Synod of the American Evangelical
Lutheran Church is in sore need of an English hymnal; and

WHEREAS, The present hymnals do not fill the need, information
concerning deficiencies particularly of a linguistic nature, having
been brought to the attention of the committee; and,

WHEREAS, the question is of such great importance and of such
far-reaching consequences; therefore, be it

Resolved, That we ask the church-bodies comprising the Synod-
ical Conference to take the matter under advisement as soon as pos-
sible, with a view to determining the feasibility of preparing a new
hymnal for the use of the Synodical Conference, and to take the
necessary preliminary steps having this end in view.

To this end we furthermore recommend that each of the four
church-bodies concerned, if it meet within the next year, be asked to
elect a committee of two or more men, who, together with the cor-
responding representatives of the other synods, shall act as a pre-
liminary joint board or committee to discuss the feasibility as above
indicated and take the necessary preliminary steps in arranging for
the compilation and publication of such a hymnal. In case any of
the bodies concerned do not meet within the next year, we ask the
president of such body or bodies to appoint a committee to represent
the respective body.

We beg leave to remark that the attention of the committee was
also called to the advisability of having a new English translation of
Luther's Catechism (Enchiridion) for use in the Synodical Con-
ference.

Respectfully submitted,
C. A. MOLDSTAD.
