Emigrant Mission in Baltimore.

The Commission reported:

To the last Delegate Synod we were able to report that the Reverend Synod's Emigrant Mission in Baltimore had not only continued but had also been further expanded. Since then the activity of its missionary has not diminished, but has become even more extensive. The following figures will demonstrate this. It may first be noted that, in accordance with a resolution of the last Delegate Synod, Pastor Eirich has been serving entirely in the Emigrant Mission since September 1, 1911.

In 1913, over 40,000 immigrants landed in Baltimore, more than in any of the last five years.

The missionary wrote letters and postcards: 1,218 in 1911, 1,554 in 1912, 1,560 in 1913. 855 letters and postcards were addressed to him in 1913. Telegrams and cablegrams were sent and received: 88 in 1911, 91 in 1912, 135 in 1913.

The turnover of funds amounted to $14,730.93 in 1911, $16,727.36 in 1912, and $18,334.81 in 1913 — $49,793.10 over all three years.

Periodicals, calendars, and tracts were also distributed as generously as possible during the past triennium: 4,378 in 1911, 2,842 in 1912, and 2,847 in 1913.
