Ev. Luth. Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States. 1926. 185

of the increased zeal, increasing number of students and workers, and
the increase of devotion and prayers for the kingdom of our blessed
Savior which such promotion and publicity would produce.

The success of such a board will be measured by the appropria-
tion that the Board of Directors will see fit to make for such work.
But history and recent experience teach that we must spend money
in order to raise money, and that money economically and judiciously
spent is money well spent. This holds good also with regard to the
kingdom of our Lord.

In His interest and for the advancement of the glory of His
holy name we present this memorial for Synod’s earnest considera-
tion and action.

Respectfully submitted,
Tue Ey. Luts. Boarp ror Pusuiciry anp Leorurss.

H. F. Ronrman, Chairman.
Chicago, Il]:, March 25, 1926. Geo. L. Lugoxs, Secretary.

After discussing this proposition with all committees on mis-

‘ sionary matters, Committee 7 brought in the following report, which

was adopted.

“Your Committee favored the request in Overture 515 asking
for a Board for Promotion and Publicity ; however, since not only
a board, but a full-time man has been allowed for work of this nature,
and since the work of this man and the work of the proposed board
will overlap, therefore we recommend that the man to be added to the
Fiscal Office be given the work and duties outlined in Overture 515
as follows: ‘To take over the work of the present Committee for
Publicity and Lectures and to have supervision over all publicity for
the promotion of interest in, and support of, the mission activities
and other activities of Synod and such other publicity as may be
delegated to him in the course of time.’ ”

This joint committee also recommended to Synod to budge all
expenses, current and extraordinary.
