A Surras.e Curistmas Gurr. — A very suitable Christmas gift would be a subscription to the Pio- NEER or Missionslaube. Wither one costs but 25 cents per year. Send the subscription price for either paper, together with the name and address of the recipient, to Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo., and they will send the paper subscribed for regularly to his address. Have you a friend who is not as yet a reader of either one of these mis- sionary monthlies? New Vo.unverrs. — Pastor Drewes, President of the Colored Mission Board, informs us that a native Maori of New Zealand, whom the noted Rey. C. H. Spurgeon, of London, ordained in 1896, and who has been serving a Colored congregation at Poplar Bluff, Mo., has applied for employment in our Colored Mission field. — A Colored Pres- byterian pastor of St. Louis has also made appli- cation. : SEVEN FarruFuL AND UNSELFISH WORKERS. — St. Louis has seven hard workers, who labor year in and year out for our Colored Mission cause. For their hard work these men do not receive a cent of pay, nor do they want it. ‘These seven faithful laborers, are the members of our Colored Mission Board. But we feel sure that their unselfish work would be done with greater pleasure and joy if they were assured that their work is really being appre- ciated by us. One way of showing your apprecia- tion for their arduous and faithful labor would he the gaining of one or more subscribers for the PronkeER or Missionstaube, the English and German organs of our Colored Mission Board. ‘The price of either monthly is only 25 cents a year. Order from Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Could you not gain one or more readers for these papers ? Deatrt oF Rey. Henry D. Kent. — Under date of November 13, Rev. John Alston, of Mount Pleasant, N. C., sent the following sad news to Rey. C. F. Drewes, Chairman of the Mission Board: “Tam writing to inform you of Rev. Kent’s death. He passed away peacefully last night a little after 12 o’clock, dying in the faith of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He partook of the Holy Sac- rament last Monday night for the last time. That night he grew worse, and I was summoned to his bedside. ‘The funeral will be Sunday afternoon, at 2 o'clock.” Further particulars may be given in the next issue of the PIONEER. New Or.eans. — From New Orleans the sad news reaches us that the physical condition of Miss dna Walters, a former teacher in our mission schools at New Orleans, has not improved in Den- ver, where she went last spring upon the advice of several physicians. ‘The Denver physician now at- tending her strongly advises her return to the milder climate of New Orleans for the winter. Tite NUMBER OF Our REApERs. — ‘The PIONEER is read in about 7,000 families, and the Jissions- taube in about 27,000 homes. We have probably no Jess than 200,000 families in our Synodical Con- ference. One or the other of these missionary papers should be read in every one of these 200,000 families. Will not you, dear reader, help to place-one of our missionary monthlies, PIoNEER or Missionstaube, in at least one of the 165,000 families where neither of them as yet is read? Order from Concordia Pub- lishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price of either paper, 25 cents per year.

Bakke, the wife of our Field Secretary, is president of this new society, which will make the support of :our Colored Mission the main object of its endeavors. F.
