Schluß.
Dieſer Bericht zeigt abermals, daß der HErr ſein Wort wahr macht,
das er durch den Mund des königlichen Sängers David geſprochen hat:
„Mohrenland wird ſeine Hände ausſtrecken zu Gott.“ Nahezu ſieben⸗
tauſend Mohren oder Neger in unſerer Miſſion ſtrecken ihre Hände aus
zu ihm, dem wahren Gott, im Gebet. Das erfüllt uns mit Freude und
Mut und mit Miſſionseifer. Dieſen Eifer wolle Gott mehren, ſo daß
wir fleißiger für die Miſſion beten und fröhlicher für die Miſſion geben!
Die kirchlich verwahrloſten Neger in unſerm Land zählen nach Hundert⸗
tauſenden. Gott erfülle uns mit Mitleid und Erbarmen! Er wolle
auch fortfahren, ſeinen himmliſchen Segen auf die Arbeit unſerer lieben
Miſſionare zu legen. Ihm ſei Lob, Ehre, Preis und Dank hier zeitlich
und dort ewiglich!
Im Namen und Auftrag der Kommiſſion für Negermiſſion
Chriſtoph F. Drewes, Miſſionsdirektor.

58 Proceedings of the thirty-second convention
postponed until the exploration committee has reported." The Wisconsin Synod
adopted the same resolution almost unanimously.
Accordingly the next step would presumably be that the Honorable Synodical
Conference (*Synodalkonferenz*) instruct its Mission Commission to undertake an
exploration. May God, however, graciously lead and guide us in this great
matter!

Conclusion.
This report shows once again that the Lord makes his word true, which he spoke
through the mouth of the royal singer David: "Ethiopia shall stretch out her
hands unto God" (Ps. 68:31). Nearly seven thousand Moors, or Negroes, in our
mission stretch out their hands to him, the true God, in prayer. That fills us
with joy and courage and with missionary zeal. May God increase this zeal, so
that we pray more diligently for the mission and give more cheerfully for the
mission! The Negroes in our country who are neglected by the church number in
the hundreds of thousands. May God fill us with pity and compassion! May he
also continue to lay his heavenly blessing upon the work of our dear
missionaries. To him be praise, honor, glory and thanks here in time and there
in eternity!
In the name and by commission of the Commission for the *Negermission*
[mission among African Americans; the period's term "Negro Mission"]
