The Lutheran Pioneer.

in a very clear way how the Child was set for the
fall and the rising of many. After the regular
service, the pastor Joci preached the confessional,
using as text Is. 53, 4—6. Communion was then
given to a hundred or more Lutheran Christians.
On Sunday afternoon, at 3 o’clock, the undersigned
preached on Rom. 5, 1. 2. Sunday evening the
Rey. F. Foard, of Gold Hill, N. C., preached a
highly instructive sermon to a large and apprecia-
tive audience on Phil. 2, 5. After the service Rev.

Foard thanked the pastor, members, and friends
of St. Paul’s Congregation, in the name of Im-
manuel Conference, for the kind hospitality shown
us during our stay there.

All the sessions and services held during the
conference were well attended, the people turning

enjoyed himself and was loath to bid Rev. “Mac”
and his congregation adieu. And we sincerely hope
that we have not said “adieu” to him and his, but
only “aw revoir,” for we wish to visit him again, if
if he will invite us. As a visitor, Rev. Lauterbach,
of Ridgeway, N. C., was with us.

During the conference three new workers were
added to our lists in the persons of the Rey. H. D.
Kent, of Spartanburg, S. C., the Rev. C. Stoll, of
Atlanta, Ga., and the Rey. Otto Richert, of Wil-
mington, N.C. ©

All the members and friends returned to their
homes feeling that they had indeed been richly
blessed with God’s Word and Luther’s doctrine
pure; and hence they go back to their labors with
new Zeal, and reassured that God’s Word does not
return unto Him void. Next year, God willing, we
hope to meet in Grace Congregation, Greensboro,

N. C. May God continue to shower His blessings
upon Immanuel Conference, its laborers, and
friends, and may He send us new and zealous
workers for His kingdom!

A long and happy life to the Rev. W. G.
Schwehn and bride, of Concord, N. C.! May their
pleasures be as deep as the ocean, and their troubles
as light as its foam! AN

Immanuel Lutheran College began its twelfth
session Wednesday, September 2, at 10 a. ar. After
the singing of several hymns, Dir. Berg addressed
the student-body from John 17, 7 and James 1, 5.
He emphasized the two facts that without the dili-
gent study of the. Word of God and diligence in

must write in glaring letters the word “Failure”
across his school career. — Dir. Berg says that the
prospects for this school-term are very bright.

Having been assured by the Synodical Confer-
ence, which met in Milwaukee, Wis., August 12—17,
that we are to have a dormitory for our girls at
Immanuel College, I would appeal to all our con-
gregations to help raise the money for this much
needed building. We have the promise of a $3,000
building, and that it will be begun as soon as we
have two-thirds of the money on hand; let us,
then, try to raise this sum as soon as possible. And
if we raise enough for a four or five thousand dollar
building, so much the better; hence, hasten with
your dollars and cents, for we are in need of this
dormitory. Many thanks to Synodical Conference!
