Ev. Luth. Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States. 1929. 9

xternal connections have increased. In Finland and Esthonia free
hurches have been organized, which take the same confessional stand
‘as we do. Before us lie reports on the blessed work of our brethren
-in the Free Church of Germany, likewise reports on the work of our
_brethren in Alsace.
Of special importance at this convention will be our delibera-
ions on matters of elementary and higher education, on our position
n the lodge question, on intersynodical conferences, and the conduct
f our foreign missions.
Dr. Pieper will favor us with a few lectures on “The Open
Heaven,” while Prof. Th. Graebner will lecture on “The Indwelling
f the Holy Trinity in the Hearts of the Believers.”
The work of your President in the past three years proceeded as
sual. I visited Synod’s institutions, attended District conventions,
ook part in many board and committee meetings, and in word and
“writing gave advice, when it was solicited, to the measure of my
bility. With the growth of Synod and the increased ramification
“of its work the work of your President has increased apace. The
Vice-Presidents rendered faithful and valuable services. Since many
District synods meet at the same time, the President was at times
represented by theological professors.
To the glory of God be it said that God’s Word still rules supreme
-jn our church institutions and at our conventions.
And now, dear brethren, let us go to work in the name of God.
. May we have a convention that will delight the angels, bring joy to
Christians, and promote the glory of our Savior! Amen.
