GS 1968 ARTICLE 119

The Chairman expresses Synod’s gratitude that these appointments could be made. It is a historic moment, marking, as we hope and pray, the start of a full-fledged Theological College. It can not be denied that a considerable burden is laid upon the Churches. If we only explain, the members will definitely rally to the support of this decision. May the Lord restore the appointee the Rev. J. T. VanPopta, who still is seriously ill.

May the Lord establish the work of our hands upon us, Psalm 90.
