contains, the Bible and the catechism. She held these books dear and
precious and drew sap and strength from them for her soul. She was
of sound mind to her end and fell asleep praying in the arms of Jesus.
Amen.

22. Concordia, Rockwell. (Country congregation. Founded 1893.
Missionary: J. E. Shufelt,* since January 1924.) This congregation forms
with the two congregations at Rocks and Gold Hill one parish.
The children of the latter congregation attend the school at Rockwell
built in the year 1924, which the members built at their own expense.
The station numbers 44 souls or baptized members. That means
a loss of 2 souls in two years.

23. Zion, Gold Hill. (Country congregation. Founded 1893.
Missionary: J. E. Shufelt,* since January 1924.) The number of souls
has fallen from 50 to 32. The children of school age attend the
school at Rockwell. There is no hope of growth, since the gold
mines will probably never be reopened.

24. Mount Zion, Rocks. (Country congregation. Founded 1904.
Missionary: J. E. Shufelt,* since January 1924.) The place where
our chapel stands is called Bostian Corners. This name will henceforth
take the place of the old name Rocks. The number of souls has
again decreased in this biennium through people moving away; it
has fallen from 47 to 42. Among them are 28 confirmed and
9 voting members. The congregation owns the chapel and keeps
everything in the best order. Some members who had fallen into the net of the lodge
Missionary Shufelt, with God's help, to the joy of the
whole congregation, has freed from it again.

25. St. Luke's, High Point, N. C. (Founded 1908. Missionary: F. Foard, since January 1924.)
The number of souls has risen from 23
to 28. At this station a small school was to be erected
for about $2,000. The children of the South Nebraska District
have given $2,047.74 for it. An inspection by the
writer and by the late Superintendent Smith, and their reports,
have led the mission administration not to build yet. In future the station
is to be served by Prof. Näther and theological students from
Greensboro — fifteen miles away. Missionary Foard will probably be transferred to Charlotte.

26. St. James's, Southern Pines. (Founded 1898. Missionary: F. Foard, since January 1924.)
Souls: 35 (increase: 2).
Communicant members: 19. Voting members: 4.

27. St. Mark's, Winston-Salem. (Founded 1913. Missionary: Jesse Hunt, since February 1921.)
The number of souls has risen from 15
to 19. Communicant members: 13. Voting members: 8.
The children in Iowa and Minnesota were to collect $8,000 for a chapel
and have raised $7,494.39 of it. The Board
has bought a building site, which cost $1,526.24. Our architect,
Th. Steinmeyer in St. Louis, has received the commission to supply plans for the
chapel. — Prof. Näther of Greensboro will spend part of
his summer vacation in Winston-Salem, helping our
missionary with a "canvass." We cherish great hopes
for the building up of our mission in this fast-growing city.

28. Grace, Greensboro. (Founded 1893. Missionary:
Wilen H. Lash, since October 1923.) With this congregation things have
again gone forward in this biennium. The number of souls
was 53 four years ago; now it is 94. Communicant members: 86.
