Beſchloſſen, daß aus derſelben Kaſſe zu Gunſten der Negermiſſion
der Koſtenbetrag für Erwerbung eines Bauplatzes zu Little Rock, Ark., und
für den Bau eines Kirchleins auf dieſem Platze beſtritten werde.*)

Heidenmiſſion.

Obgleich unſere Synode gegenwärtig keine eigene Heidenmiſſion hat, ſo
iſt es doch nothwendig, daß ihre Commiſſion für dieſe Miſſion fortbeſtehe.
Schon das vorhandene Miſſionseigenthum fordert die fernere Verwaltung
einer dafür beſtellten Commiſſion.

Beſchloſſen, daß die Commiſſion für Heidenmiſſion zur ferneren Ver⸗
waltung des Miſſionseigenthums fortbeſtehe.

Beſchloſſen, daß die Commiſſion für Heidenmiſſion ſolchen Miſſio⸗
naren auswärtiger Miſſionsgeſellſchaften, welche die Publicationen unſerer
Synode, ſeien es Bücher oder Zeitſchriften, ſich erbitten, in je einem Exemplar
unentgeltlich übermittele.

Innere Miſſion.

Beſchloſſen, daß den lieben Gemeinden unſeres Synodalverbandes
das von Gott bisher ſo reichlich geſegnete Werk der inneren Miſſion beſon⸗
ders dringend ans Herz gelegt und ſie alſo ermuntert werden, dasſelbe mit
ihrer treuen Fürbitte und Darreichung von Liebesgaben nach allem Ver⸗
mögen immer kräftiger zu unterſtützen.

Beſchloſſen, daß den einzelnen Diſtrictsſynoden geſtattet ſei, die in
ihrer Mitte geſammelten Gelder für innere Miſſion nach Bedürfnis auch
innerhalb ihrer Diſtricte zu verwenden.

Beſchloſſen, daß der etwaige Ueberſchuß der Miſſionsgelder einzelner
Diſtricte an den Allgemeinen Kaſſirer von Zeit zu Zeit abgeliefert werde.

Beſchloſſen, daß diejenigen Diſtrictspräſides, welche Anſprüche für
die Betreibung der inneren Miſſion an die allgemeine Miſſionskaſſe erheben,
alljährlich unmittelbar nach Verſammlung der Diſtrictsſynoden an den
Präſes der Miſſionscommittee berichten mögen, wieviel Geld für die Miſſion
ihres Diſtrictes nothwendig ſei.

Beſchloſſen, daß die in der allgemeinen Miſſionskaſſe etwa vor⸗
handenen Gelder für innere Miſſion je nach Bedürfnis der inneren Miſſion
der allgemeinen Synode, oder der Diſtrictsſynoden, durch die Miſſions⸗
committee vertheilt werden ſollen.

*) Zur Erläuterung obiger Beſchlüſſe diene die Erinnerung, daß die Betreibung der
Negermiſſion von Seiten der Synodalconferenz bis zu ihrer nächſten Verſammlung eine
proviſoriſche iſt. Definitiv wird ſie erſt dann, wenn ſämmtliche Synoden ihre Zuſtim⸗
mung gegeben haben.

Resolved, that from the same treasury, in favor of the mission to the Negroes, the cost of acquiring a building lot at Little Rock, Ark., and of building a small church on this lot, be defrayed.*)

Mission to the Heathen.

Although our synod at present has no mission to the heathen of its own, it is nevertheless necessary that its commission for this mission continue in existence. The mission property already on hand itself requires the continued administration of a commission appointed for it.

Resolved, that the Commission for the Mission to the Heathen continue in existence for the further administration of the mission property.

Resolved, that the Commission for the Mission to the Heathen shall, free of charge, deliver one copy each of our synod's publications, whether books or periodicals, to such missionaries of outside mission societies as request them.

Home Mission [*Innere Miſſion*].

Resolved, that the work of home mission, so richly blessed by God until now, be laid especially and urgently upon the hearts of the dear congregations of our synodical body, and that they thus be encouraged to support it ever more vigorously, with all their means, through their faithful intercession and the offering of gifts of charity.

Resolved, that the individual district synods be permitted to use the funds collected among them for home mission, as needed, also within their own districts.

Resolved, that any surplus of the mission funds of individual districts be delivered to the general treasurer from time to time.

Resolved, that those district presidents who make claims on the general mission treasury for carrying on home mission may, annually and immediately after the meeting of the district synods, report to the president of the Mission Committee how much money is necessary for the mission of their district.

Resolved, that whatever funds for home mission happen to be on hand in the general mission treasury shall be distributed by the Mission Committee according to the need of the home mission of the general synod or of the district synods.

*) In explanation of the above resolutions, let it be remembered that the conduct of the mission to the Negroes on the part of the Synodical Conference is, until its next meeting, a provisional one. It will become definitive only once all the synods have given their consent.
