der ev.⸗luth. Synodalconferenz von Nord⸗America. 1900. 53
Betreffs des zweiten Punktes wurde beſchloſſen, daß es der Sinn
dieſer Committee iſt, daß der Gehalt, welcher unſeren Negermiſſionaren be⸗
zahlt wird, durchaus nicht zu hoch iſt.
Achtungsvoll
A. F. Ernſt, Vorſitzer.
H. Frincke, Secr.
Durch Annahme des Berichtes machte die Synodalconferenz die Vor⸗
ſchläge der Committee zu ihren eigenen Beſchlüſſen. Zu Punkt 1 iſt noch
zu bemerken: Bei der eingehenden und eifrigen Debatte wurden die Gründe
für die Errichtung eines Seminars für Neger beſonders von Miſſionar
Bakke vorgetragen. Es ſtellte ſich jedoch heraus, daß die Negermiſſionare
in Louiſiana dem Plane nicht zuſtimmen. Auch von anderen Seiten her
erhoben ſich Einwendungen, deren Gewicht um ſo mehr in die Wagſchale
fiel, als die Debatte zeigte, daß die ganze Angelegenheit noch nicht zum Be⸗
ſchluſſe reif ſei. Daher verſchob die Synodalconferenz durch Annahme des
zweiten und dritten Punktes die Entſcheidung auf das Jahr 1902.
Ferner wurde beſchloſſen:
1. daß die ganze Commiſſion für Negermiſſion wieder erwählt werde;
2. daß die Redaction der „Miſſions⸗Taube“ und des “Pioneer” in
denſelben Händen bleiben ſoll;
3. daß auch die auswärtigen Glieder der Negercommiſſion auf zwei
Jahre wieder erwählt ſeien, mit der Aenderung, daß Präſes J. W. Wein⸗
bach vom Canada⸗Diſtricte der Ehrw. Miſſouri⸗Synode an Stelle des bis⸗
herigen Committeegliedes, P. A. Krafft, trete.
Die unter dieſem Beſchluß erwählten auswärtigen Glieder der Com⸗
miſſion ſind:
a. Aus der Michigan⸗Synode: P. J. Klingmann, Ann Ar⸗
bor, Mich.
b. Aus der deutſchen Miſſouri⸗Synode:
Wisconſin⸗Diſtrict: P. B. Sievers, Milwaukee, Wis.
Michigan⸗Diſtrict: P. H. Speckhard, Saginaw, Mich.
Iowa⸗Diſtrict: P. E. Melcher, Waverly, Iowa.
Oeſtlicher Diſtrict: P. F. Brand, Pittsburg, Pa.

of the Ev. Luth. Synodical Conference of North America. 1900. 53
With regard to the second point it was resolved that it is the sense of this Committee that the salary which is paid to our Negro missionaries is by no means too high.
Respectfully,
A. F. Ernst, Chairman.
H. Frincke, Secr.
By adopting the report the Synodical Conference [*Synodalconferenz*] made the proposals of the Committee its own resolutions. On point 1 it is further to be remarked: In the thorough and eager debate the reasons for the establishment of a seminary for Negroes were presented especially by Missionary Bakke. It turned out, however, that the Negro missionaries in Louisiana do not agree to the plan. Objections were raised from other sides also, whose weight counted the more in the scale as the debate showed that the whole matter was not yet ripe for decision. Therefore the Synodical Conference, by adopting the second and third points, postponed the decision to the year 1902.
Further it was resolved:
1. that the whole Commission for the Negro Mission be re-elected;
2. that the editorship of the "Missions-Taube" [Mission Dove] and of the "Pioneer" remain in the same hands;
3. that the non-resident members of the Negro Commission also be re-elected for two years, with the change that President [*Präses*] J. W. Weinbach of the Canada District of the Reverend Missouri Synod take the place of the former Committee member, Pastor A. Krafft.
The non-resident members of the Commission elected under this resolution are:
a. From the Michigan Synod: Pastor J. Klingmann, Ann Arbor, Mich.
b. From the German Missouri Synod:
Wisconsin District: Pastor B. Sievers, Milwaukee, Wis.
Michigan District: Pastor H. Speckhard, Saginaw, Mich.
Iowa District: Pastor E. Melcher, Waverly, Iowa.
Eastern District: Pastor F. Brand, Pittsburg, Pa.
Central District: Pastor J. Miller, Fort Wayne, Ind.
Illinois District: Pastor H. Engelbrecht, Chicago, Ill.
Minnesota and Dakota District: Pastor F. Sievers, Minneapolis, Minn.
Nebraska District: Pastor M. Adam, South Omaha, Nebr.
Kansas District: Pastor W. Lüssenhop, Independence, Kans.
California and Oregon District: Pastor J. Schröder, San Francisco, Cal.
