% ing need in our Colored Missions. That is not
53 all. It also went to work and devised ways
¢ and means of gathering the moneys needed for
«churches and schools in our Negro Missions.
~ Eight resolutions were adopted.

"3 1. THE CHILDREN of the day-schools and

Sunday-schools within the Synodical Conference
~ are to be asked to raise the funds needed for
¢ new buildings. (The Synodical Conference con-
$ sists of the following Lutheran synods: 1. The

Missouri Synod; 2. the Wisconsin Synod; 3. the

Slowak Synod; 4. the Norwegian Synod. The

pupils of the schools and Sunday-schools num-

ber probably 200,000. It should be a relatively
small matter for this host of Lutheran pupils
to raise the needed amount of $65,000.)

2. The delegates representing the various
synodical Districts obligated themselves to get
the collection started and to manage it in their
respective Districts.

8. The Director of Missions is to assign a cer-
tain church or school to every synodical Dis-
trict. If practical and desired, the collection
is not necessarily to follow synodical Districts,
but States, as, for example, in Michigan, Wis-
consin, Minnesota, and Nebraska.— The dele-
gates will take it upon themselves to work for
their respective chapel or school, submit the
collection plan at the conferences and synods
which will convene this fall, and appeal to our
Christians to help.

of their ability; being officials of the Church +
and having a warm heart for the cause and ‘
kingdom of the Master, they will support this
undertaking in their circuits in order that the %
collection of the Synodical Conference may =
yield the desired result. (The Board of Directors 3
of the Missouri Synod expressed its approval at %

its meeting on September 10.)

8. If possible, this collection is to be finished
by Christmas.

This is the plan.
And now, may God prosper the plan!
