78 Proceedings of the fifteenth convention

Both reports were adopted, and then the proposals made by the committee at the end of the mission report were discussed one by one. As the result of this discussion the following resolutions were passed:

1. That a chapel be erected in Greensborough, N. C.;

2. that the Mission Commission send a circular to every congregation of the *Synodalconferenz* [Synodical Conference], in which the needs of the Negro Mission are set out and every congregation is asked to take up a Sunday collection for the Negro Mission, so that both the building of the chapel in Greensborough and the building of a new chapel and school for the station Mount Zion in New Orleans, resolved already two years ago but so far not begun for lack of money, can be carried out. This appeal to the congregations is also to appear in the "Lutheraner" and in the "Gemeindeblatt" [Congregational Paper].

The Mission Commission further reported that churches and schools of the Negro Mission, as long as they were burdened with debts, had been insured against fire for the protection of the creditors, and put the question whether they were also to be insured after these debts are paid off. Thereupon it was

Resolved, that they are also to continue to be insured.
