3. . Proceedings of Thirty-Third Regular Convention,

sessions of District conventions, and when sickness prevented them
from doing so, professors at our institutions and Pastor Dietz, Sr.,
chairman: of. our Home Missions Board; gave their services. Our
synodical institutions all report an increasing enrolment, which makes
the appointment of: new instructors imperative.

. The Districts, at their conventions, gave much time to the dis-
cussion: of doctrinal papers, and in their business sessions the con-
sideration: of parochial school and mission-questions constituted a
prominent part of the program. As to missions in particular, lack of
sufficient funds has hampered the desired.progress. It is hoped that
the present Delegate Synod will take the necessary steps to make the
extension of our mission-program possible. “The shadows are grow-
ing longer, and the end of the world is near. Truly, we have no time
to lose!”
