It was centralization as opposed to
states rights, or mere properly synodi-
cal rights. at the Lutheran Synod. this
morning, and centralization was buri-
ed: buried so decidedly that 1t will
no doubt be dead for some time to
come. It was DR.. singmaster, presi-
dent of the Theological Seminary at
Gettysburg. Pa, and his special COM
mittee who desired Capitalization.
They wanted the board Of publication.
which is now In Philadelphia. to move
its headquarters to Harrisburg, Pa.
and along with the removal of such
publication board to Harrisburg they
desired that the various other official
boards In the church make their head
quarters In the same building.
Caused Discussion.
The proposition ELECTED much dis
cussion, practically all of which was
opposed to the plan Of the committee.
and when vote was taken. after an
hour OF oratory. the synod rejected
Il.
The opposition was of a most varie.
gated sort, some Of which was not ex.
actly germane to the point In ISSUE
but All Of which taken together show.
ed clearly that the synod favors the
retention Of the present plan under
which there are nearly as many head.
quarters as there are boards.
The matter Of consolidating the diff.
ferent offices arose as . result of mu.
nicipal improvements being made in
philadelphia. which necessitate the
removal Of the publication boards
present quarters.
Following the disposition of the re.
port OF this special committee, the
regular report Of the board Of publ
hAnnA 0Nh(c t~o 49,,
which is a self sustaining corporation
made most profitable showing. The
first paragraph Of the report spoke oi
the splendid work of Superintendent
Boner. who has occupied such position
for 80 years.
Report o. Boner.
Extracts from Supt. Boner's resume
OF the biennium show what work has
been done:
Ending Marsh 81, 1909. the amount
OF sales exceeds that for the year end
Ing the last biennium, March 81, 1907
$13.s46.16. Considering the string
ency Of the times, this is a gratifying
result.
During the biennium we have
printed the Children's Day Services
for the various boards of the Genera
Synod. the minutes Of the Genera
Synod and the minutes Of all the
English-speaking district Synods o.
the General Synod. In addition to the
