2 Ev. Luth. Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States. 1929. 195

hat the activities of young people’s work were thus controlled
directed by the present Board is plainly shown by the report
ated to Synod, where we read in the second paragraph: “Mem-
‘of the Board were present at several meetings of Walther League
tives and attended the annual conventions of the League. Our
, finds its chief task in advising, and conferring with, the League
‘officers. In matters affecting Synod we have been duly consulted,
d guidance in general League affairs has been frequently requested
a given. The Board was also represented at Arcadia, Mich., where
the work of the Summer Conference Camp was observed. An officer
of the League usually attends our meetings and participates in the
discussions. Our relations have been cordial and mutually helpful.”

Your Committee has only two recommendations to offer: —

1) To adopt the report of the Board for Young People’s Work
with thanks to said Board ; a

2) To suggest to those Districts of Synod that have not as yet
done so the creation of a similar board to control and direct the activ-
ities of young people’s work within its confines.

Action.
Resolved to adopt the report and its recommendations,

Appeals.

1. Appeal of Rev. J. A. Duchow, of Havillah, Wash.
Report of Committee 21 C.
We recommend that Synod adopt the following resolution: —
Resolved, That Synod express itself as being in agreement with

the resolutions adopted by the Oregon and Washington District in
June, 1928, which declare: —

“We sever our fraternal relations with Rev. J. A. Duchow in view
of his unscriptural stand regarding excommunication as set forth in
Matt. 18 and his reprehensible activities in the Grace matter.”

Action.
Synod adopted the report.

2. Appeal of Mr. M. N. Hoffmann, of Monroeville, Ind.
Report of Committee 21 C.

Your Committee on the appeal of Mr. M. N. Hoffmann, of
Monroeville, Ind., is convinced that the appeal is premature, since
it was not first presented to the Central District for investigation.
It therefore-advises Synod not to enter upon the appeal.

Action. ,

Synod adopted this report of the committee.
