MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS 663

the economic situation may not be as favorable as it was. We know
“that many hundreds of congregations have local programs which
“they have postponed.

_ And yet, we have the temerity to stand before our people in
the sight of God with the bold request that for the year 1947 to 1948
“we set ourselves a goal at least as high as the one which we at-
“tained in the past year.

After discussing this whole matter with the Board of Directors
of the Missouri Synod and after much prayer to our heavenly
Father, we, therefore, recommend to the synodical Convention to
authorize the Board of Directors to inaugurate a program of world
relief for the year 1947 to 1948 of approximately two and one-half
million dollars. L, J. Stecx, Chairman
