After inviting them to comeover, it would be unfortunate, discreditable, and injurious toour cause, if we should fail to assist them with the small amountabove stated. I have written to the Pennsylvania MissionaryCommittee, and also to the Committee of the General Synod in. WORK AMONG THE SCANDINAVIANS. 369 Baltimore. What these committees may be able and willing todo for Minnesota I do not know yet; if you should be presentat the meeting of the Pennsylvania Synod in Easton, I trustyou will plead for Minnesota.

If it were in your power from any fundsor resources at your disposal to send twenty-five or fifty dollarsto Br. Fachtman soon, it would be a great relief to him. Inconclusion, allow me to make one more suggestion. When thewar is over, the Christian Commission will have performed itsgreat labor of love, the benevolent in our Lutheran communityshould then be encouraged to provide clothing and other ar-ticles for our poo
