The Lutheran Pioneer.

Item from Concord, N. C.

We feel joyful in the knowledge that the Lord
is blessing His work entrusted to us in this com-
munity. On Trinity Sunday five young people were
confirmed as members of the church.. These were
children from the parochial school. Our school
grew numerically during last session, and we hope
that spiritual growth also was continued in the
hearts of the children. M. N.C.

Why They Went.

A missionary and his family, after a little rest
in the far-away American home, were returning to
their place of labor on the high plains of Tran.
They had toiled long and wearily up through a
mountain pass, and at last a panoramic view of the
plain burst upon them.

It was dusty and cheerless. Far away, on a dis-
tant hillside, blistering in the sun, lay the city
which was to be the scene of their future labors, as
it had been the scene of their past.

As they gazed upon it, one of the dear little
ones of the family looked up into his mother’s face,
and said most pathetically, “Mamma, it is not as
nice as America.”

With the heart of a true missionary, she calmed
her own emotion, and looking lovingly into his face,
said, “No, dear, that is why we have come.”

Trust in God.

Several German princes were once extolling the
glory of their realms. One boasted of his excellent
vineyards; another of his hunting grounds; an-
other of his mines. At last Abelard, Duke of
Wuerttemberg, took up the subject and said: “I
own that I am a poor prince, and can vie with none
of these things; nevertheless, I, too, possess a noble
jewel in my dominion; for were I to be without
attendants, either in the open country or the wild
forests, I could ask the first of my subjects whom
I met to stretch himself upon the ground, and con-
fidently place myself upon his bosom, and fall
asleep without the slightest apprehension of injury.”

Was not this.a precious jewel for a prince?
T, however, have something better, for I can rest
my head and heart in the lap of God’s providence,
and upon the bosom of Jesus Christ with a perfect
assurance that neither man nor devil can touch me

there. — Gotthold. i 5
