Report of Committee.
(German Report, p. 221.)

The Mission Conference, consisting of representatives of all our
District mission boards, begs Synod to acknowledge with thanks the
valuable services rendered by the members of our Transportation
Department. ‘

In view of the great benefits derived by the concessions made by
the railroads we pray Synod to see to it that this department, created
by Synod years ago, and which has rendered such valuable services,
not only to our missions, but has saved large sums annually to Synod
at large, be not hampered or rendered inefficient by associations or
members of associations or members of Synod entering into trans-

4 portation arrangements with roads or even asking for such conces-

sions as are at times given to members of Synod without having
previously arrived at an understanding with this Transportation
Department of Synod.

That Synod by resolution endorse this overture of the Mission
Conference. — Adopted.
