appear on the surface; but your Literature Board has had it con-
stantly in mind, and some of our recent products are indirectly
a result of these deliberations. Regarding the history of the Chris-
tian Church, we are nearing the accomplishment of a school edition,
but we are still far from realizing the major edition of this opus.

Your Literature Board realizes the weight of the responsibility
placed upon it by Synod, and we beg to assure Synod that we have:
tried to perform our task without prejudice and in full cognizance
of the interests of Synod.

Our chairman will represent our Board at Synod and will be
glad to answer further questions ‘that may be put by the committee
sitting on this report.

St. Louis, Mo., March 15, 1935, L- Bucuieimer, Secretary.

Report of Committee 17:—~—

1. We recommend that henceforth the personnel of the Literature
Board be appointed by the President of Synod in consultation with

duties of said Literature Board.

2. Your Committee is highly gratified to learn that the school
edition of the History of the Christian Church will, D. v., appear
within the next year. Your Committee would recommend that the
Literature Board be encouraged to continue its search for a proper

author for the other editions, to wit, The History for Colleges and’

Seminaries, and The History for Professional Workers, and sub-
sequently to publish such books.

3. Your Committee recommends that Synod adopt the report of
the General Literature Board, known as Memorial 502, except as
