Report of the Commission for Emigrant Mission in Baltimore.

To the German Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other
States, assembled as the 13th Delegate Synod at St. Louis, Mo., in
May 1911.

Reverend fathers and brothers!

Since the last Delegate Synod, Pastor E. Totzke has left the service
of the emigrant mission here, having accepted a call extended to him
by a congregation in Philadelphia. During the three-month vacancy
that followed, Pastor C. F. W. Meyer carried out the work of an
emigrant missionary with zeal and skill. Just as in the earlier
election of Pastor Totzke — of whom honorable mention is made in the
report of the 1908 Delegate Synod — so too, in the person of Pastor
R. Eirich, who took up his office in April 1909, we have found the
right man: a man who, with a cheerful spirit and a practical mind,
and through much toil and labor, not merely continues the Reverend
Synod's work in Baltimore but extends it further. A report from his
own hand will, if possible, appear in the *Lutheraner* before the
Reverend Synod convenes, in which he will describe his extensive
activity. That this activity is indeed extensive will be shown by the
following figures.
