Synod for an appropriation for a new edition of the Catechism.
The sum needed for a new edition will be about $1,000.

The Mission Board of the Texas District petitions Synod to
authorize the Board of Missions for North America to appropriate
the sums requested above.

The Mission Board of the Texas District furthermore requests
that Synod authorize the opening of missions in Old Mexico.

In the Reports and Memorials for the 21st Delegate Synod we
read on p.93: “Yet we believe that the field in Mexico is white
unto harvest and that we should enter it as soon as possible. With
our help the Texas District is preparing a native from Mexico for
the ministry at our Springfield Seminary with the object in view of
sending him to that field after his graduation.” (Quotation from
the Report of the Board of Home Missions in North America.)

This native Mexican graduated in 1937, is now at work in
Texas under the direct supervision of the Mission Board of the
Texas District, and is waiting to be commissioned to bring the
Gospel to his countrymen.

The Mission Board of the Texas District is aware that many
and great obstacles must be overcome before any representative
of ours may be sent across to Mexico; but with due authorization
to commission men for this work it will gladly attack all the
difficulties in an effort to bring the Gospel of salvation to our .
neighbors.

The cost for one year is estimated not to exceed $2,500 per

missionary. —_ Respectfully,
