Our three missionary stations number at present 762 souls, 327 communicant members, and 58 voting members: 419 children attend the Christian day schools, in which instruction 3s given by 6 teachers and 1 assistant teacher. The Sunday schools are attended by 309 pupils. Crry Mission. — From the same paper we learn that city mission work has been begun in New Or- leans. he paper says: “This latest work of our church in this city has been carried on since the beginning of this year. Its object is to spiritually provide for our brethren in the various public and charitable institutions of the city, especially the sick in our hospitals, to lead into the way of salva- tion, if possible, such as are serving a sentence in prison, and to establish Sunday schools and mission stations in different parts of our city. The blessed- ness of this work can be better seen than told. In our Charity Hospital there are at present no less than fourteen brethren of our faith. The majority of these are not from this city. Some are from abroad, some from South America, and some from other States. Imagine the joy of these poor, friend- less sufferers, to be visited and comforted by a minister of their own creed!” A Sap Loss.—A reader in St. Louis writes: “A sad loss has come to.our city mission here in St. Louis in the death of Teacher O. Katthain, who fell asleep in Jesus on the 4th of February, aged 84 years. For almost five years he, with great zeal and self-denial, taught our city mission school, in- structing the children especially in the way of life and leading them to Jesus, the children’s Friend. His labors were not in vain, and his memory is blessed in many a home of the poor and destitute. ‘Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them,’ Rey. 14, 13.” : BOOK TABLE. So NIMM DENN MEINE HAenpe!
