Souls: 73. Increase: 23. Property: church-school. The congregation ought to
get a new church in a new, better-situated location. About $13,000 would
probably be needed for this purpose.

7. Napoleonville. Founded 1905. Missionary: G. M. Kramer, who holds services
once a month, attended on average by 20 persons. Souls: 2. Loss: 9.
Property: church-school. The parsonage has been sold. The school was closed
at the end of the last school year. The place keeps going backward and
people are leaving in large numbers.

8. Mansura. Founded 1898. Missionary: Calvin Thompson, a child of the
congregation. Souls: 148. Increase: 14. Property: church-school and
parsonage. This congregation, made up of quiet Creoles, has furnished our
mission more mission workers than any other congregation. On the first
Sunday in July P. Thompson ordained, in the midst of the joyful congregation,
three young candidates for the ministry who come from this congregation.
The number of this year's colored candidates for the ministry was four, of
whom three come from Mansura. In addition a fine number of boys and girls
are still studying at our institutions to prepare themselves for mission
service.

In the state of Louisiana we thus have 8 congregations, of which 5 are in New
Orleans. As soon as possible the work is to be begun again in the state
capital, Baton Rouge. Missionary Wildgrube, who now has an assistant, will
begin again in Pailets Land. The total number of our Lutheran Negroes in
Louisiana is 1,656.
