# The Lutheran Pioneer_St. Louis_1911_S48 # Machine transcription, uncorrected — CHI Digital Archive (demonstration) 48 The Tuutheran Pioneer “Thanks are herewith tendeted to all who have in any ‘way contributed and assisted in the dedica- tion of the altar in order to make it a success.” Liperat Givers.—'The Lutheran missionary who is laboring among the Australian negroes on the Western coast of Australia, reports that a congre- gation of native Christians, numbering only 21 com- municant- members, contributed during the past year for church purposes $590.00. These people must often work for low wages, and still they give on the average about $28.00 for every communicant member. Those black Christians surely set an ex- ample for others to follow. Lance Missionary OFrrerinc.— At a recent Woman’s Missionary Jubilee meeting it was stated that during the past fifty years American women raised for foreign missions the sum of forty-one million dollars. Their aim is to raise this year a jubilee offering of one million dollars. The larger part of this sum was already pledged about Easter time. An Oxp Pastor’s Apvice. — “I ventured once,” says a missionary, “to consult an old pastor about the choice of a place. The word ‘choice’ did not please him at all. ‘Young men must not pick and choose. Young men must go where they are sent,’ said the old hero who had grown gray in the Lord’s service. Then, with a fatherly hand upon my shoul- der, he said, ‘Go where Christ is not, and take Him there.’ Five years in the mission field of Africa was the result of that one sentence.” BOOK TABLE..
