134 MINUTES OF THE SYNOD OF THE
IV. We are rapidly approaching, if we have not already
reached the time, when there is, or will be, sufficient data to
make a sizeable volume on the history of our missions, the preparation
of which belongs to the province of our Mission
Boards.
Therefore we recommend:
That no missionary data be compiled with the data bringing
the history of the ministry up to date, except that the
names of the missionaries together with their fieldsof labor and
periods of service shall be included in an appendix for reference.
Respectfully submitted,
