14. Delegatenſynode von Miſſouri, Ohio u. a. St. 1914. 77
4. Das Pilgerhaus macht die nötigen Reiſekoſtenvorſchüſſe. Dieſe
repräſentieren oft namhafte Beträge. Kein Transportgeſchäft gewährt
Kredit. Wie nötig iſt daher das Pilgerhaus zur Ausrichtung dieſer
Geſchäfte und wie wichtig in bezug auf prompte Beförderung gerade
dann, wenn die Miſſionskaſſen der Synode leer ſind!
5. Alle Extrakoſten für Briefporto, Druckſachen uſw., Telephon⸗
gebühren und Miete auf den Hilfsſtationen Bremen und Hamburg
werden vom Pilgerhaus getragen.
6. Das Pilgerhaus gewährt dem Miſſionar in New York eine freie
Wohnung und ſpart die hohen Koſten der Miete eines Bureaus. Es iſt
darum immer noch eine ſehr gute Kapitalanlage, abgeſehen von dem
Segen, den es den Reiſenden gewährt.
Zum Schluß noch folgende Mitteilungen:
1. Es hat dem HErrn gefallen, Herrn Jakob Morch am 24. Dezem⸗
ber 1913 im Alter von 82 Jahren heimzurufen zur ſeligen Ruhe im
Himmel. Der Verſtorbene war Glied der Kommiſſion für Emigranten⸗
miſſion ſeit ihrer Gründung und hat derſelben bis zuletzt mit großer
Treue gedient. In den letzten ſechs Jahren, da er körperlicher Schwäche
wegen nicht mehr dienen konnte, war er Ehrenmitglied der Kommiſſion.
Sein Gedächtnis halten wir auch ferner in Ehren.
2. Die Kommiſſion beſteht aus ſieben Gliedern, nicht, wie irrtüm⸗
lich im Kalender und in ſonſtigen Publikationen angegeben, aus drei
Gliedern. Alle Glieder werden auf ſechs Jahre gewählt. Die Dienſt⸗
zeit der Paſtoren A. J. Beyer und J. C. Borth und der Herren N.
Stemmermann und A. Brummer iſt abgelaufen. Eine Ehrw. Synode
hätte alſo diesmal vier Glieder der Kommiſſion neu zu wählen. Die
Dienſtzeit P. Chr. Merkels und der Herren Chas. E. Hauſelt und H. F.
Reßmeyer umfaßt noch die nächſtfolgenden drei Jahre.

14th Delegate Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States, 1914. 77
4. The Pilgrim House provides the necessary advances for travel expenses. These often represent considerable sums. No transportation company extends credit. How necessary the Pilgrim House is, then, for handling this business, and how important for prompt transportation especially when the Synod's mission treasuries are empty!
5. All extra costs for postage, printed matter, and so on, telephone charges, and rent at the auxiliary stations in Bremen and Hamburg are borne by the Pilgrim House.
6. The Pilgrim House provides the missionary in New York with free housing and saves the high cost of renting an office. It therefore remains a very good investment, quite apart from the blessing it affords travelers.
In closing, the following notices:
1. It pleased the Lord to call Mr. Jakob Morch home to blessed rest in heaven on December 24, 1913, at the age of 82. The deceased had been a member of the Commission for Emigrant Mission since its founding and served it with great faithfulness to the last. In the last six years, since physical weakness kept him from serving any longer, he was an honorary member of the Commission. We shall continue to hold his memory in honor.
2. The Commission consists of seven members, not three, as mistakenly stated in the calendar and other publications. All members are elected for six years. The terms of Pastors A. J. Beyer and J. C. Borth and of Messrs. N. Stemmermann and A. Brummer have expired. The Reverend Synod would therefore have four members of the Commission to elect anew this time. The terms of Pastor Chr. Merkel and Messrs. Chas. E. Hauselt and H. F. Reßmeyer still cover the next three years.
