256 Proceedings of Thirty-Fifth Regular Convention,

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 relation 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.”

W. H. Kruse. C. J. Scuerter.
J. H. Gerves. Lours Wecmany.
Joun SCHAFFER.

The report of this committee was adopted by Synod.

Report of Committee 22 B: —
Three appeals were referred to this committee.

I.

The former teacher of St. Andrew’s Church in Park Ridge, Illi-
nois, requests a complete investigation of his case. A fiduciary com-
mittee investigated the matter in 1930. The teacher appealed to the
Northern Illinois District. The latter appointed a committee in Oc-
tober, 1931, which committee is to report at the next District meeting,
and at that time the District intends to take action.

Since this District meeting has not yet taken place, and since
therefore the District has not yet taken action, it is our opinion that
the present appeal is premature, and we recommend that this be
Synod’s answer. ;

II.

“Dreieinigkeit” Congregation of Crete, Illinois, has had a contro-
versy for about twenty years with the neighboring Zion Congregation,
which is not a member of any synod, whose pastor, however, is a mem-
ber of the Wisconsin Synod. The Synodical Conference appointed a
committee to act in the matter. This committee has not yet reported
to the Synodical Conference, but is ready to report that it has not been
successful.

_ We recommend that Synod pass a resolution in something like the
following form : —

Synod recognizes that constitutional provisions prevent a decision
at the present time since the Synodical Conference, before which the
matter lies, must first act.

St. Andrew’s Church in Park Ridge, Illinois, Northern Illinois
District, complains about the manner in which Redeemer Church, a
mission of the English District, got to be ofganized. These grievances
have been investigated by officers of Synod and other men appointed
