work supported by the congregations requiring our services,

Respectfully submitted,
F.R. Weszsr, Secretary of Committee.

On recommendation of Committee 22 Synod passed the following
resolutions: —

1. To commend the members of the Committee on Church Archi-
tecture for the extensive service which they have rendered Synod
during the past three years; :

2. To urge the congregations of Synod to avail themselves of the
services of this committee and carefully to consider the expert advice
which the committee offers concerning design and proportion of the
church they intend to build, concerning a capable architect, and, in
particular, concerning the specific activity of building committees;
and furthermore,

3. To request all congregations consulting this committee to make
a fair and reasonable contribution to the running expenses of the
committee in order that Synod’s allowances for this work may not
be exceeded.

Radio Station KFUO.

Report of Board of Control, St. Louis.
(German Report, p. 32.)

Since October, 1924, our radio station is in operation and from
the very beginning has proved a most efficient missionary agency.
KFUO was erected through the generosity of a number of members
of the L.L.L. and the Walther League, which at its convention in
1924 appropriated $7,000 for this purpose. It is being maintained
by voluntary contributions ‘from listeners-in, but especially by an
appropriation of $6,000 by the Lutheran Laymen’s League and of
$1,000 by the Lutheran Publicity Organization of St. Louis.

Although we bought the latest and best station on the market at
the time, our station is now already obsolete. Moreover, in order to |
retain our present favorable wave length and to increase the useful-
ness of our station, we have, after careful deliberation and with the
consent of the Board of Directors, taken the necessary steps to erect
a 1,000-watt station at.the new seminary.

Since, however, the work of KFUO is practically Synod’s work,
namely, that of bringing the Gospel to the attention of our American
people, we respectfully petition Synod to take over KFUO as its
own station, as a very efficient missionary agency, and operate it
under thee control of the local Board.
