THE LUTHERAN PIONEER.

153

13. Synodical Conference went on record as not
favoring the discontinuation of the Missionstaube
and the LurHEraN PIONEER under any circum-
stances and resolved that strenuous efforts be made
to increase their circulation. Pastors are urged to
use the Sunday immediately preceding the annual
Mission Sunday to encourage the members of their
congregations to become readers of one or both of
these publications and to appoint committees for
the purpose of distributing copies of these period-
icals on that Sunday and securing new subscribers
on Mission Sunday.

14. It was unanimously decided by the Synod-
ical Conference to reopen Luther College at New
Orleans as a feeder of the normal school at Selma,
Ala. (Alabama Luther College), and the theological
department of Immanuel Lutheran College at
Greensboro, N. C.

Appropriations for New Buildings.

Chapel-school, Birmingham, Ala., $15,000;
chapel-school, Pensacola, Fla., $6,000; chapel-
school, Catherine, Ala., $1,200; chapel-school,
Maplesville, Ala., $1,200; five teacherages in Ala-
bama ($600 each), $3,000; parsonage, Nyland,
Ala., $850; parsonage, Tinela, Ala., $1,000; chapel-
school, Camden, Ala., $2,000; parsonage for Cam-
den parish, $850; school equipment for Alabama,
$1,500; administration building, Immanuel Lu-
theran College, Greensboro, N.C., $75,000, and
$1,000 for most urgent repairs on old building;
additional classroom for Alabama Luther College,
Selma, Ala., $6,000; boys’ dormitory for Alabama
Luther College, $25,000; to put Luther College
building in shape, $1,000; church-school, Greens-

the white Ebenezer Church, Greensboro, N. C.,
$7,500; church, Philadelphia, $25,000; Yonkers,
N. Y., $15,000.

In order to enable the Board to carry out the
above extensive building program at an early date,
since a number of these buildings are sorely needed
in the near future, the money required is to be
borrowed as needed and then to be repaid at the
rate of at least 10 per cent. annually, so that the
whole loan ‘will be liquidated within ten years. The
Mission Board was authorized to secure this loan
by giving a mortgage on the property of the Colored
Missions. In addition to these appropriations of
$218,000 for buildings the budget for current ex-
penses at present is about $145,000 annually.

In view of the urgent need our Christians are
requested to begin to bring their offerings at once.
“The Lord hath need of them.”
