That it be further agreed that when Mrs.

her in returning to Argentina, the Board will pay her
traveling expenses.
The report was adopted.
1. That the Board concur in the recommendation
of the South Brazil Mission that Rev. L.M.Bratcher accept
the call of the Board of Trustees of Rio College and
Seminary, to enter into work in Rio College and Seminary.
2. That 4,800 Milreis be appropriated to pay the
rent for the school at Maceio, this item having been
omitted by oversight from thi regular appropriations
for 1926; It is understood that this amount can be paid
out of appropriations already made to North Brazil, due
to favorable exchange.
3. That the Board say to Brother F.A.R. Morgan
of Bello Horizonte, that it recognizes his need of a resĀ¬
idence and deeply sympathizes with him in his deprivation,
but that the Board is not at this time in a financial
condition to justify it in the eyes of the brotherhood
of making the necessary appropriation for this residence.
The Board does, however, express the hope that its
circumstances may before many months make it possible
for it to provide for him this better comfort and conĀ¬
venience for his family.
4. That the resignation of Rev. and Mrs. Roy
Mason be accepted, they having returned to the United
States on account of Mrs. Mason's ill health, and he
having recently accepted a call to the pastorate of the
Baptist Church at Livermore, Ey.
The above report was adopted.
1. That we regretfully decline the request of
the Pakhoi Mission asking that it be permitted to retain
Letter of Credit 2530, to the value of Ā£4,000 for a
dwelling for R.T.Snuggs and family, and say to the
Pakhoi Mission that it gives us great sorrow to take this
course.
