WHEREAS, The Missionstaube, the Lutheran Pioneer, the book
Light in the Dark Belt, the Jubilee Book, and the “Illustrated Lec-
tures” furnished by the Missionary Board serve to acquaint our con-
gregations with the work of our Negro Missions; therefore be it

Resolved, That we urge all pastors of the Synodical Conference
to make an earnest appeal to their members to become subscribers
and readers of the periodicals and to purchase and read the above-
mentioned books, and that the congregations, wherever possible, make
use of the “Illustrated Lectures.”

(Report, p. 56, No. 3.)

Be it resolved, That the important matter of the constitution and
the organization of a conference of the workers and of lay delegates
in our Colored Missions be given into the hands of a committee which
in cooperation with the Missionary Board is to study the matter and
report back to the Synodical Conference at its next meeting, and
be it further

Resolved, That Dr. L. Fuerbringer act as chairman of this com-
mittee and appoint the other members of the committee.

Adopted.

General Resolution on Work Among Colored People.

The report of the Missionary Board reveals that our work has
been richly blessed by the Lord. 1,045 souls have been won for the
Kingdom. The spiritual life of the members manifests itself also by
frequent participation in the Lord's Supper and by liberal financial
support of the work of the Lord. Therefore be it

Resolved, That with grateful hearts to God we express our ap-
preciation to the members of the Missionary Board and to all the
laborers in the field for their faithful services and that we wish them
the Savior's continued blessings and strength in their work.

Adopted.
