Proceedings of Thirty-Fifth Regular Convention,

The Budget System Unchanged.
(Memorial 604.)

The South Wisconsin District had proposed the following rego-
lution : —

“Resolved, That the debt, the Church Extension, and the Building
Fund be separated from the current-expense fund, that the current-
expense fund constitute the budget, and that the debt, the Church Ex-
tension, and the Building Fund be raised separately by special drives,
or collections.”

Committee 18 recommended that at the present time our budget
system remain as it is.

Synod adopted this recommendation of Committee 18.

A Book on Tithing.
(Memorial 617.)

Wuereas, Tithing is being advocated more and more extensively
in our midst; and

Wuereas, There is an ever-increasing number of communicant
members also in our midst who not only desire information on the
tithe, but also desire the tithe; and

Whereas, Other individual members, privately and publicly,
resent, criticize, and oppose such publicity respecting the tithe; and

Wuenreas, Such contradiction must needs bring confusion into
the finances of a congregation, a District, and of Synod; and

Wuereas, Uniformity in this matter is desirable; therefore be it

Resolved, That Synod cause a book to be edited, under supervision
of the Fiscal Office, setting forth the history, the abuse, and the proper
use of the tithe.

Respectfully submitted,
Tue PastoraL CoNFERENCE OF THE NorTHERN
Nesraska District.
Marcus Gertke, Secretary.

tion of a book setting forth the history, the abuse, and ‘the proper use

Synod adopted these recommendations.
