Ev. Luth. Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States. 1932. 117

twice a year (before the last day of April and before the last day of
August) regarding the number and the salaries of their missionaries,
their receipts and disbursements for both home and synodical pur-
poses, and their prospective fields of labor;

3. That each monthly requisition of subsidized Districts for an
allowance from our Board be accompanied by their treasurer’s
financial statement of the previous month;

4. That the synodical auditor, under the direction of the Board
of Auditors, perennially examine the books and records of all sub-
gidized Districts;

5. That the Board of Home Missions keep in close touch with
all subsidized Districts, not only by correspondence, but also by visit-
ing each District once in three years, either in person or by their
representative.

In conclusion we beg you to study carefully the attached statist-
ical report, furnished by our Synod’s statistician. This gives you
a vivid description and also a fair conception of the large volume of
work done in behalf of Home Missions by both the twelve subsidized
and also the remaining, self-sustaining Districts of Synod.

E. F. ScHveEter, Secretary.

Committee 9 considered matters pertaining to this report and had

past triennium the work of bringing the light of the Gospel into the
dark places of our continent has progressed — despite the depressing
economic situation — under the undeserved blessing of the Lord.

9. That Synod express its appreciation to the Board of Home
Missions for the conscientious and capable guidance given to our
Home Mission affairs in North America.

3. That Synod go on record as submitting for the favorable con-
sideration of the individual Districts the continuance of the Call-of-
the-Hour Movement, setting aside the season of Lent for this pur-
pose. — In submitting this recommendation, we call attention to the
fact that great emphasis is to be placed upon community canvasses
and that the special offerings raised through this movement are not

intended to disturb the established financial system of any congre-
gation.

4. That Synod deplore the necessity of curtailing the financial
support afforded our subsidized Districts and that we view this step
as challenging us to offset this financial loss by an increased zeal to
