Unified Budget

In convention assembled at Camp Pioneer, Angola, N. Y.,
June 27—July 1, 1949, The Lutheran Church — Missouri Synod,
Eastern District, adopted the following overture:

| Whereas, Our congregations are becoming surfeited with

frequent special drives for funds; and

Wuereas, The maintenance and expansion of our colleges
require frequent outlay of funds; and

Wuereas, Our people more and more favor a unified budget
for all purposes; therefore be it

Resolved, That we recomménd that the triennial appropria-
tions for building fund needs be prorated in the annual synodical
budget. Martin W. MuEtter, Secretary

Annual Building Fund Donation

At our regular September voters’ meeting a motion was made .

and passed to make a recommendation to Synod that a permanent
annual building fund donation be established in preference to
large special drives.

It was generally felt that a regular annual donation would
yield greater returns over a period of years and thereby enable
Synod to maintain its buildings in proper condition.

If Synod should be in accord with our point of view, you may
feel fully assured we will. heartily support any such plan.
