REFORMED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 133
Conference, the requests of this paper do not apply fot next year
It is the judgment of your committee that the meetings of
Synod are primarily concerned with the business of the Church,
Therefore, we recommend:
1. That there be no evening conferences except when requested
by a member or group of Synod for a specific purpose,
and approved by Synod.
2. That the work formerly done by two committees be done by
one committee on Arrangements and Devotions.
Respectfully submitted,
P. D. McCracken, chairman
S. Bruce Willson
W. A. McElroy

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS OF THANKS
The Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America wishes
to express its thanks to a wise and beneficent Heavenly Father
Who has shed His grace on us abundantly at this meeting of its
Synod.
We are grateful for traveling mercies, in that we have continued
evidence to retain our trust in an all wise and omniscient
Providence. Our prayers have been answered, and we thank our
Lord for His care and oversight.
We thank our hosts, the Administration and Staff of Geneva
College, for their welcome to us as delegates, and for their efficiency
and helpfulness in making our brief stay a pleasant one.
We express our appreciation to the officers of Synod, to the
Committee on Arrangements, our Precentor, and to all those who
in any way contributed to the convening of this meeting of Synod.
