The Lutheran Pioneer.

to accommodate the visiting friends. The collec-
‘tions amounted to $33.07, of which $31.00 were sent
to the mission treasury.

Since October 13th the people of the church have
succeeded in raising $35.00 for the repairs on the
furnace and the church building. They now have
their furnace in nice shape, and at this writing the
carpenters are working every day on the church
building and belfry, which is in great need of re-
pairs. The necessary repairs will cost about $140.00.
Several of the German congregations have con-
tributed very liberally towards these repairs. I wish
to herewith extend our hearty thanks to them for
what they have done. May God richly bless those
cheerful givers !

The mission in Springfield is progressing very
well considering the existing circumstances. It
must be remembered that this mission has had many
misfortunes and hindrances. But by God’s help it
is recovering and trying to help itself and others.
May the Lord richly bless our mission in Spring-
field ! Jas. H. D.

Item from Meherrin, Va.

The Rev. H. D. Schooff, who for many years
labored faithfully arid successfully in the mission
field at Mcherrin, Va., has accepted a call to Gravel-

ton, Mo. May God’s richest blessing be with him
also in his new field of labor! X.

NOTICE.

All subscribers whose periodicals are mailed directly
to their address will always find the date up to which
their subscription has been paid on the wrapper of each
number. ‘“Jan.‘08” means to say that the paper has been
paid to January 1, 1908, while “Jan. 07” or “Jan. 06”
calls attention to the fact that the subscription is still
due for the entire year of 1907 or 1906, respectively.
Those in arrears are asked to kindly remit at their ear-
liest convenience; and since the year is drawing to a close,
the amount for next year’s subscription would also be
welcome. Those subscribing through an agent will kindly
- pay their agent in the near future, so as to enable him to
balance his accounts with us before the end of the year.
But as the agent cannot send us each single remittance
separately, the subscriber should not feel alarmed if the
change of date has not been made on the next wrapper.

If every subscriber is willing to do his share, all the _

arrears on our books ought to be canceled within a short
time, at any rate, by the first of the new year. j

Finally we wish to state again that since we are put-
ting the expiration date of the subscription on the wrap-
pers of our periodicals we have discontinued sending re-
ceipts to our subscribers. ‘The change of date on the
wrapper fully tells the tale.

BOOK TABLE.

Dies uND Das AUS DEM LEBEN EINES OSTINDISCHEN MIs-
sIoNARS. Von C. M. Zorn. Concordia Publishing
House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, $1.25.

A useful and beautiful gift book, well printed, taste-
fully bound, and profusely illustrated. The writer of the
book was for five years a Lutheran missionary in India,
and in a delightfully entertaining manner he tells us what
he himself saw and heard, thus making us acquainted
with India and its people, and giving us an insight into
the life and labors of a missionary among the heathen in
that distant land. The circulation and reading of the
book ought to inerease the interest in our missions in
India.
