Action.

On recommendation of Committee 12 Synod resolved: —

1. To approve of the present arrangement that the Rev. H. Gall-
man continue the work of the former second immigrant missionary,
Rev. A. Dick, pending further developments in immigration and
possible legislation. .

2. To approve the remodeling of the house of our immigrant
missionary into two dwellings, thus saving rent for the second mis-
sionary.

3. To adopt the treasurer’s report, which has been audited and
approved by public accountants.

4. To request all who visit Europe to buy their tickets through
our Lutheran Immigrant Society. Tickets cost no more, and buyers
secure for themselves the service of our Society.

Seamen’s Mission in New York.

Report of the Board.
(German Report, p. 186.)

When the Board for Immigrant Mission was entrusted with the
administration of the Seamen’s Mission, it took over this work with
Rev. M. Pinkert as missionary. He was charged to minister in a
pastoral way to the seamen, speak to them about the one thing need-
ful, especially on board ship, and, as opportunity presented itself, to
preach the Gospel of Christ on board ship. This work Rev. Pinkert
has faithfully discharged during the past three years.
