However, because of present conditions it is uncertain whether
these recommendations can be safely carried out; therefore your

to the Board of Directors, with power to act.

Indigent Students in South America
(Memorial 712)

Wuereas, There is a crying need for more missionaries in
South America, respectively, Argentina and Brazil; and

(In No. 23, 1937, of the Kirchenblatt, Professor Rehfeldt writes
[translation]: “Our Church in Brazil suffers a lack of laborers
in church and school as hardly known before in the history of
our District. This year (end of 1937) four students were gradu-
ated into the ministry. Eighteen places ought to have been filled.
In the succeeding years, humanly speaking, conditions cannot im-
prove. If during the next ten years all students now enrolled
in our institution should really complete their course, even then
only eighteen pastors will have graduated, for whom sufficient
vacancies exist at the very present, and seventeen teachers, all
of whom we could well engage right now and still have places
left for more. And what all can happen before the ten years
will have passed! How sorry we are that within the following
ten years we shall be able to prepare only 35 men —18 pastors
and 17 teachers!”)
