Adopted.

Report of Committee on Nominations.

(Committee: Pastors J. H. Meyer, R. Avé-Lallemant, M. Niermann;
Mr. W. C. Martens.)

Your Committee on Nominations, in preparing the slate, found
itself confronted with the problem of presenting suitable lay can-
didates for the Missionary Board to fill the position in which the
present treasurer has served so capably and faithfully. Your Com-
mittee consulted with many brethren, especially with the Missouri
Synod Board of Directors and the Missionary Board of the Synodical
Conference. After painstaking deliberations your Committee arrived
at the conclusion that the honorable convention would act wisely if
it would delegate to its Missionary Board the privilege of supplying
this important position with a suitable person. At the request of
your Committee your Missionary Board adopted the following resolu-
tion: —

“Inasmuch as the Board of Directors of the Missouri Synod has
made the request that Mr. Theo. W. Eckhart, for reasons of health,
be relieved of all official duties in connection with the work of Negro
Missions and since we deem it difficult to elect a suitable successor
at this time, the Missionary Board herewith respectfully petitions the
Synodical Conference to refrain from filling this vacancy on the
Board and to delegate this privilege to the Missionary Board.”

Your Committee has incorporated this resolution in its report
and heartily recommends its adoption.

Adopted.

The Synodical Conference adopted the motion to express the
prayerful wish that the Lord grant to Mr. Eckhart a speedy restora-
tion to health.
