Synod-wide Appeal for Relief

To this memorial the following Unprinted Memorial 39 Was
added by the Board for World Relief:

Wuereas, The Board for World Relief has already begun in
a modified way such projects as an ingathering of clothing and of
food commodities and has prepared specific channels through which
shipment is being made to, and distributed in, needy areas of the
world; and

Wuereas, In addition, generous sums of money are needed to
process and ship clothing and to purchase needed food supplies
and medicines; and

Wuereas, An adequate and strong appeal for funds this spring
would have conflicted with other projects of Synod and was there-
fore withheld; be it

effectively made; and be it furthermore

Resolved, That our congregations be encouraged to respond
generously in behalf of suffering people throughout the world;

Resolved, That the Board for World Relief be given the priv-
ilege of making an annual appeal for funds, food commodities,
clothing, and contributions in kind so long as the need in the
world exists.

Upon recommendation of Committee 13 Synod resolved:
