Prospects for the Future.— The prospects for the future are
brighter than ever. With improved finances within the mission
’ fields and in Synod at large, we can go forward with the opening
and with the development of new fields in nearly all of the Districts.
If existing priorities will be lifted, much-needed chapels can be
built. Additional pastors and teachers are needed. Our seminaries

cannot meet the present situation. Our manpower in existing
” fields must be carefully considered and evaluated. Elimination
