main a white faculty exclusively. 2. The Mission Board recognizes
as the ultimate aim to develop our missions into self-supporting, self-
governing, and self-propagating congregations, and hence considers
it but natural to train Colored workers for the faculties of our col-
leges. 3. The Board is favorably disposed to establish a Normal High
School in Alabama. The teaching force shall be Colored.

5. Die Miſſionskommiſſion. Da P. J. W. Schulze durch
Annahme eines Berufes in den Minneſota⸗Diſtrikt der Ehrw. Wis⸗
conſinſynode im Januar 1921 aus der Miſſionsbehörde ausgeſchieden
iſt, hat ſich die Behörde kraft des ihr verliehenen Rechtes ergänzt durch
die Wahl Prof. Th. Gräbners vom theologiſchen Concordia⸗Seminar in
St. Louis. — Auf Wunſch der Kommiſſion und mit Zuſtimmung Präſes
Gauſewitz' ſowie des von der Synodalkonferenz im Auguſt 1920 er⸗
wählten Komitees hat Präſes G. E. Bergemann von der Wisconſin⸗
ſynode anfangs 1921 proviſoriſch zwei (beratende) Kommiſſionsglieder
aus dieſer Synode ernannt, nämlich Präſes Im. F. Albrecht von Fair⸗
fax, Minn., und P. W. A. Hönecke aus Milwaukee. In Gemeinſchaft
mit dieſen zwei Gliedern ſind in St. Louis bereits drei Plenarverſamm⸗
lungen abgehalten worden. Es kann hier berichtet werden, daß dieſe
Einrichtung ſich als eine ſehr gute erwieſen hat. Es kommt nun darauf
an, was die Ehrw. Synodalkonferenz in dieſer Sache tun will. Es
dürfte hier kurz erwähnt werden, daß die Wisconſinſynode in ihrem
Jahresbudget $20,000 für unſere Negermiſſion angeſetzt und auch dies
Jahr ihren erſten Miſſionsarbeiter geſtellt hat, nämlich den Predigt⸗
amtskandidaten Walter H. Beck. — Da die Negermiſſion ſich immer
mehr erweitert und die Geſchäfte ſich häufen und deshalb viele und
lange Verſammlungen nötig wurden, ſo hat die Kommiſſion im April
1921 beſchloſſen, daß die regelmäßige Verſammlung in Zukunft nicht
mehr monatlich, ſondern nur alle zwei Monate ſtattfinden ſolle. Zwei
dieſer ſechs jährlichen Verſammlungen ſollen Plenarverſammlungen
ſein; das heißt, alle Glieder, auch die aus der Wisconſinſynode, ſollen
dieſe beiden Verſammlungen beſuchen. In der Zwiſchenzeit werden die
laufenden Geſchäfte von einer Exekutive beſorgt, die dann regelmäßig
über ihre Tätigkeit Bericht erſtattet. Der Vorſitzer der Kommiſſion, der
Miſſionsdirektor und der Kaſſierer bilden die Exekutive. — Die Amts⸗
zeit der folgenden Glieder der Kommiſſion iſt abgelaufen: Prof. Georg
Mezger, Kaſſierer Ewald Schüttner, P. L. A. Wisler.

6. Die Jubelkollekte. Gelegentlich des fünfzigjährigen
Jubiläums der Synodalkonferenz hat ſich die Miſſionskommiſſion an
alle unſere Gemeinden gerichtet mit der Bitte um ein Dankopfer für
die Negermiſſion. Sie ließ drei mit Bildern verſehene Zirkulare
drucken: 1. Bringing the Negro Children to Jesus. (Beſtimmt für die
Kinder der Schule und Sonntagsſchule.) 2. A Message to the Young
People of the Synodical Conference of North America. 1872—1922.
3. Eine herzliche Bitte an die werten Frauen der Synodalkonferenz.

36 Proceedings of the twenty-eighth convention

The Mission Board recognizes as the ultimate aim to develop our missions into self-supporting, self-governing, and self-propagating congregations, and hence considers it but natural to train Colored workers for the faculties of our colleges. 3.

5. The Mission Commission. Since Rev. J. W. Schulze left the Mission Board in January 1921 by accepting a call into the Minnesota District of the Honorable Wisconsin Synod, the Board, by virtue of the right conferred on it, supplemented itself by the election of Prof. Th. Gräbner of the theological Concordia Seminary in St. Louis. — At the request of the Commission and with the consent of President Gausewitz and of the committee elected by the Synodical Conference in August 1920, President G. E. Bergemann of the Wisconsin Synod appointed provisionally, at the beginning of 1921, two (advisory) members of the Commission from that synod, namely President Im. F. Albrecht of Fairfax, Minn., and Rev. W. A. Hönecke of Milwaukee. Together with these two members three plenary meetings have already been held in St. Louis. It can be reported here that this arrangement has proved a very good one. It now depends on what the Honorable Synodical Conference wants to do in this matter. It may be briefly mentioned here that the Wisconsin Synod has set $20,000 in its annual budget for our Negro Mission and has also this year furnished its first mission worker, namely the candidate for the ministry Walter H. Beck. — Since the Negro Mission is expanding more and more and business is piling up and many long meetings have therefore become necessary, the Commission resolved in April 1921 that the regular meeting should in future no longer be held monthly but only every two months. Two of these six annual meetings are to be plenary meetings; that is, all members, including those from the Wisconsin Synod, are to attend these two meetings. In the interval the current business is handled by an executive committee, which then reports regularly on its activity. The chairman of the Commission, the mission director and the treasurer form the executive committee. — The terms of office of the following members of the Commission have expired: Prof. Georg Mezger, Treasurer Ewald Schüttner, Rev. L. A. Wisler.

6. The Jubilee Collection. On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the Synodical Conference the Mission Commission addressed itself to all our congregations with the request for a thank offering for the Negro Mission. It had three illustrated circulars printed: 1. Bringing the Negro Children to Jesus. (Intended for the children of the school and Sunday school.) 2. A Message to the Young People of the Synodical Conference of North America. 1872—1922. 3. A heartfelt request to the esteemed women of the Synodical Conference.
