11th Delegate Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States, 1905. 75

...has been so visibly answered for the missionaries, so we also hope
and confidently believe that in the same way all your prayers for the
mission work itself, for the spread of the Gospel among the heathen,
have likewise not been in vain but are pleasing to God and heard, and
must yet be shown to be so when his hour has come.

"With this sincere thanks for your active cooperation in our
mission work, we join the heartfelt wish for blessing, that the faithful
God may let all your deliberations turn out for the good of our
Lutheran Church, bless all your labors with prosperous progress, and
grant you one victory after another. — Barugur, India, March 20,
1905." (Greeting of the missionaries from East India.)

1. Resolved, that the Synod expresses its thanks to God and its
joy that our mission in East India has been permitted to experience
God's protection and blessing so visibly.

2. Resolved, that in the Synod's educational institutions —
especially in the seminary at St. Louis — desire, love, and zeal for
service in the East India mission be awakened through suitable lectures
on missions to the heathen, and that the pastoral conferences look
around to see whether there are not gifted younger pastors among
them who would be inclined to enter the service of the East India
mission.

3. Resolved, that Professor O. Hattstädt be charged with
answering the greeting of our missionaries from East India with a
return greeting from the Synod in its name.

(including the branch stations at Hamburg and Bremen).

"God's protection and blessing have also rested on the work of the
emigrant mission in New York during the past three years. The actual
mission work was again carried out in these years, in complete
faithfulness, by our missionary, Pastor S. Keyl. Both at the Pilgrim
House and at the immigration station on Ellis Island, thousands of
Lutheran immigrants were again counseled and influenced for the
furtherance of their spiritual and physical welfare, and, so far as
possible, directed to orthodox Lutheran congregations. Good Lutheran
literature, such as calendars, sermons, periodicals, and books, was
given free of charge to thousands
