"The paper of this mission, a special edition of the *Lutheran
Pioneer*, is gladly read by the deaf-mute. Unfortunately, only a few
readers of it have so far been found among the hearing, so that, instead
of yielding the mission an income, it has become a larger expense for
it every year. The committee would like to draw attention to this paper
here and ask for its wider circulation.

"But thanks be to God for all the blessing he has thus far placed on
the work of the deaf-mute mission, and for all the good that has
thereby been accomplished. May he, the faithful God, continue to bless
and further this work as well. May he also bless the Synod's
deliberations on this matter, so that this work, pleasing to God and
important, may continue to be carried out with joy and all faithfulness
for the salvation of many souls." (Report of the Committee for the
Deaf-Mute Mission.)
