48 Proceedings of the twenty-seventh convention

Regarding various petitions that had come in from Europe, the following committee report was adopted as a resolution:

The committee elected by the Rev. Synodical Conference to go through the petitions that had come in from Europe takes the liberty of reporting, respectively recommending, the following:

Three letters were addressed to the officers of the Synodical Conference:

1. a letter from the Lutheran congregation in Eger, Bohemia, signed by Pastor Gustav Fischer, which contains not only a petition for physical support but also for later possible ministration with God's Word;

2. a request for support for the Evangelical Church Educational Society of the Province of Westphalia at Schweicheln, district of Herford, signed by Pastor Siebold;

3. a request for support from the institution for the crippled, Johanna-Helenen-Heim at Volmarstein, Westphalia, signed by Pastor Victor.

We recommend to the Rev. Synodical Conference that these requests for help be handed over to the committees for German relief ("Deutschlandhilfe") already in existence, such as the Rev. Synods of Wisconsin and of Missouri have already called into being.

With all respect we sign:

J. G. Gläser. P. Rösener. J. Vojtko.
