unexpected crises. We shall be pleased to follow the .same pro-
cedure with regard to our operating expenses during the ensuing

triennium.
Gratitude

We are grateful that the Lord of Life sustained the chairman
of our Commission when a delicate operation performed on his
heart in mid-February brought him into the valley of the shadow
of death.

We rejoice, too, over the dedicated work of the 600 pastors who
are in the service of 30,000 young people of our communion on
more than 1,200 campuses. The faithful services of our office staff
also contributed to our joys during the past triennium.

Recognition

We recognize the guiding and approving hand of God in the
multitudinous activities to which our department is committed.
We solicit the continued support of Synod, synodical Districts,
synodical and auxiliary agencies and personnel in the interest
of new conquests for Christ on an ever-increasing number of

campuses.
