Aye. brother, We home missionaries are
laying foundations deep and solid for a
glorious future. In which yours and our
children shall gladly participate. But
listen! The man down In the eaisson must
have air and tools or he cannot lay those
solid foundations; to carry on home mis-

acute crisis in our church today but with

tunities before every Lutheran SYNOD IN the
land are SO vast, so astonishing that their
piainest recital appears impossible of he
