Report of the Committee on Resolutions
Your Committee would record a deep sense of gratitude to God for these days of rich fellowship together in this historic occasion of our Seventy-fifth Anniversary Board Meeting of the Foreign Missionary Society.
Once again we pay loving tribute to all our missionary workers both at home and abroad who have so heroically carried the light of Christ into many dark places in our world.
With all our hearts we thank the Westerville Church, College, and people who have left noth- ing undone that could contribute to our comfort and to the success of our meeting.

MINUTES OF TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL MEETING
We would particularly mention the following:
The pastor of this church, who in addition to his numerous tasks, has so cheerfully contributed several numbers on the program.
Prof. J. F. Smith and his committee and all who had part in the pageant. They have worked intensely to give us the very impressive presentation of our seventy-five years of missionary history, which we viewed last night.
Dr. and Mrs. J. R. King who have opened their dining hall to minister to our needs.
The women of the church have provided good meals.
The janitor of the church has given quick and kind response to our every call for his help.
The people of the community have warmly welcomed us to their homes and provided free lodging.
We have not overlooked the flowers, flags, and other decorations which have beautified our sur- roundings.
We have deeply appreciated our guests-the representatives of other foreign boards, who have brought us greetings and kindly wishes from their respective bodies, the Nationals from our own foreign fields, and our pastors and people from all over the church whose presence and fellowship have added so much to our Anniversary meeting.
We recall the long years of consecrated and successful work done in our West Indies field by Rev. and Mrs. I. E. Caldwell and Rev. and Mrs. N. H. Huffman. They have made for themselves an abiding place in our Christian affections and our warmest wishes and prayers go with them into their lengthened years of service in other capacities.
Once again we applaud Rev. H. W. Widdoes and family for the long brave fight they have made for the life of Harry, and we tenderly speak to them our heart-felt sympathy in their recent bereave- ment which marks the first break in their family circle.
We gratefully recall the years of outstanding service given to the foreign missionary cause by Bishop W. M. Bell, first as General Secretary and later as President of the Board. We request our Secretary, Rev. S. G. Ziegler, to convey to him a written expression of our affectionate appreciation of himself and Mrs. Bell and we wish them a deepening sense of God's presence and blessing during these ripening years of life which they are spending by the western sunset sea.
Dr. S. S. Hough also gave himself unsparingly as Secretary of the Foreign Missionary Society for many years while great progress was made under his leadership. We are glad he is present at this meeting and we pay him high tribute.
We never cease to be grateful to the editors of our church literature for their gracious cooperation in promoting the foreign missionary cause through the printed pages of their publications.
We thank everybody, we love everybody, and we face the future hopefully in the strength of God.
C. W. WINEY J. H. RUEBUSH MRS. J. HAL SMITH Committee
The Report of the Committee on Findings and Future Work was made by Bishop G. D. Batdorf, D.D., verbally.
On motion the chairman of the committee was authorized to name some one who would submit the report in writing. Mrs. S. S. Hough was appointed to perform this duty.
On motion of S. C. Caldwell the minutes of the Board were approved without reading.
On motion the minutes of the Executive Committee were approved.
All items of business having been acted upon, the Board on motion adjourned.
The program of the afternoon was then taken up, with Bishop Statton presiding.
"All Hail the Power of Jesus Name" was sung, and prayer offered by Dr. T. J. Sanders.
The closing devotional message of the board meeting was brought by Rev. J. Stuart Innerst. His address was based on paragraphs from the 16th and 27th chapters of Matthew and was well received. "Facing the Task of the Next Twenty-five Years" was discussed by General Secretary, Dr. S. G. Ziegler. Prayer, on the Power of Pentecost, and the creating of a proper spirit and morale were among the things stressed in this masterly address.
Dr. S. S. Hough, former General Secretary of the Board, then took the platform and accepted the challenge presented by Doctor Ziegler and pledged his whole-hearted support.
The presiding Bishop followed with timely remarks concerning our foreign work.
The closing address of the afternoon was brought by Bishop G. D. Batdorf, D.D. He handled his topic,"The Supremacy and Preeminence of Jesus" in a masterly fashion, and his address was a fitting climax to a most wonderful and inspiring board meeting.
The closing prayer and benediction was offered by Dr. J. R. King.
