Greetings to the Workers of the Inner Mission Abroad.

"The Synod, currently assembled in Chicago, extends its cordial synodical greeting to its diligent, faithful workers in the wide field of the Inner Mission abroad. Especially in these days we hasten in spirit over land and sea to far-off Brazil, Argentina, and other countries, and remember with heartfelt sympathy how faithfully and bravely they hold out under many hardships and obstacles, and with great joy also how their faithful work has already borne such beautiful fruit. May Jesus Christ, the chief shepherd of his church, fill their hearts more and more with his love, so that they may diligently continue, in his kingdom's work, in the practical and sensible use of the spiritual and bodily strength he has given them, and faithfully hold out at the post to which he has assigned them. We, however, under the help of God the Holy Spirit, wish to deliberate and resolve to press on vigorously with the work begun in South America and other places, and we ask now and in the future that the rich God bless our work and our workers, and provide the means for this and all our great undertakings. Amen. God grant it! Amen."
