volunteer workers on the District, circuit, and congregational levels
who participated in this vast coast-to-coast crusade.

March 20, 1955 (almost exactly three years after the history-
making “Conquest for Christ” effort) was the great day of in-
gathering, a day that will go down as a significant milestone in
the history of our Synod.

As of April 30, 1956, a total of $4,744,853.10 had been remitted
to the Treasurer of Synod. Funds are still continuing to reach
St. Louis for this purpose.

The contributions by Districts are as follows:
