Lutheran Laymen’s League, through its individual members, its
seminars, its literature, has again shown itself the willing hand-
maiden of the Church.” The Lutheran Women’s Missionary
League, especially in its District organizations, has taken up the
question of conserving the fellow members of our Church and is
attacking it with a view to making available that tremendous
latent womanpower to the Church at work in a world at war.
According to a cursory survey there are at the present time
more than 750 congregations and pastors in our Synod which
are carrying on special work of conservation, evangelism, and
Christian education for war workers in the United States.

In the fall of 1942 the Fiscal Conference allocated a fund —

of $150,000 as a Wartime Missions and Conservation Fund. In
1943 there were allocated to 20 Districts the following amounts:
