in the early years of its long history; and
Wuereas, Other church-bodies, and especially the cults are

Wuereas, It is contemplated to devote the sum of five thousand
dollars to a Lutheran exhibit in connection with the Golden Gate
International Exposition and to arrange a program of special
features which will modestly but worthily represent the cause and

two thousand five hundred dollars to help make possible such a
Lutheran exhibit and presentation at the San Francisco Golden
Gate International Exposition in 1939.
