d. The commission was instructed to present to the next convention of the Synodical Conference a detailed report on the salaries of all workers in the Negro Mission.

Two petitions had been made concerning a regulation [*Regulativ*] for the Mission Director. These were referred to a committee for a report. The report of this committee was adopted, and its recommendations were raised to resolutions.

1. Committee Report.

To the Honorable Ev. Luth. Synodical Conference of North America. Honored Fathers and Brethren!

Your committee for the regulation for the office of Mission Director of the Negro Mission has heard the two regulations before it, examined them closely and compared them with one another, and has agreed upon one regulation, which it recommends to the Conference for adoption.

The committee further recommends that the Director's salary, in view of the great expenses he has on his travels, be fixed at $150.00 a month.

In the name and by commission of the committee
Fr. Wambsganß, Secretary.

2. Regulation for the Mission Director of the Negro Mission [*Negermission*] of the Ev. Luth. Synodical Conference [*Synodalkonferenz*].

§ 1. It is the task of the Mission Director to place his whole time and strength in the service of this mission and to promote it to the best of his ability on all sides, outwardly and inwardly.

§ 2. To this end he shall make it his concern to awaken, maintain and increase understanding, interest and zeal for this mission in the synods and congregations of the Synodical Conference. As far as possible he shall attend the general and the district synods, larger pastoral conferences, etc., and bring up and represent the affairs of the mission there. Also he shall, in the individual congregations themselves, as far as his time permits and the congregations allow, look after the interest of the mission at mission festivals and similar occasions through suitable addresses.

§ 3. He shall further make the circulation of our mission papers his concern and also from time to time supply suitable contributions from the mission for them.
