Tue Work oF A TESTAMENT. — Forty years ago, says Bible Record, some kindly Christian gave a New Testament to a wounded soldier in a hospital at Vicksburg, Miss. That soldier has just written to the American Bible Society that he found the New Testament precious when he was in the hos- pital. Therefore he sends three hundred dollars to be used as speedily as possible for putting the Gospel into the hands of wounded soldiers in Japanese hos- pitals.—The gift of one New Testament long ago has reached to the other end of the world and mul- tiplied manifold. —__ >> -_____--- News from- New Orleans. Tue Lord’s work in Mount Zion congregation, New Orleans, shows very encouraging progress. On Easter Sunday four adults were admitted, and two weeks later seven children were confirmed. Three more adults were added on June 4th, and two are now attending instructions. All members take pride in seeing their church grow and prosper, and many are constantly engaged in bringing strangers to the services. Tue other day each one of the mission schools of New Orleans received one of those large, beautiful government maps. of the United States through the courtesy of the Hon. R. Bartholdt, member of Con- gress from Missouri. THE existence of yellow fever in New Orleans may prevent the opening of our schools in Septem- ber. Though the situation as yet presents no rea- son for serious uneasiness, all possible measures of precaution are being taken by the health authorities to prevent the fever from becoming an epidemic. No case of fever has yet been reported from our congre- gations. May the Lord continue to hold His pro- tecting hand over us! K. Krerzscumar. News from Salisbury, N. C. Sunday, July 30, 1905, was a day which kindled a flame of hope in the friends and, especially, the members of the Grace Ey. Lutheran Church at Salisbury, N. C., who lost their chapel by a terrific storm in the spring. —That day was set apart for the members and friends to bring their mites to- gether for the rebuilding of the chapel. In the forenoon Rey. J. Ph. Schmidt, of Con- cord, N. C., preached. Rey. Prof. N..J. Bakke, President of Immanuel College, Concord, N. C., preached in the afternoon. At night the under- Signed preached. The total collection’on that day for the rebuild- ing of the chapel was $94.10. The members of that station are few, but they are not discouraged by their loss. On that day they showed that they love the cause of Christ by giving a handsome sum of money individually. They also showed that where there is a will there is a way. They furthermore showed that, by the help of God, they mean to have another chapel of their own where they can hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ proclaimed in all its truth and purity. May they have the hearty support and the effec- tual fervent prayers of many Christians in their great work of rebuilding the house of the Lord. “God loveth a cheerful giver.”” Jas. H.
