8s The Tepe enecn Pioneer.

I would like to tell you a lot of other things
that, perhaps, would interest you, but I have not
the time to do so now, but hope to do so later on.
So watch the Pionrer, and we promise you some
interesting things, since the next seven or eight
weeks will be given over to Reformation and other
celebrations at all the other stations in the “Black
Belt.” For this reason our next report will (if
the editor is very, very kind in, the use of his
“shears” and blue pencil) be a long, newsy one.

May God bless the seed that was sown here by
His servants!

We wish to welcome to the “Black Belt” the
Rev. G. A. Schmidt, who comes to us as Assistant
Superintendent, of our work here. We wish also
to weleome Teacher Geo. Demouy, who Js in charge
of the lower grades in the school at Oak Mill. Rey.
Berger, we are sorry to state, was compelled to re-
turn to his home in Louisiana, wpon the advice of
the doctor, until he is completely cured of the
disease from which he is suffering. May God grant
him -a speedy recovery! ie O)adlbetl

Repeprcatron at SourHern Pinus, N. C.—
As the kind reader will probably remember, the
chapel at Southern Pines was considerably dam-
aged by fire a few months ago. Missionary C. R.
March now informs us that the damage has been
repaired, the whole building has received a new
coat of paint, and the grateful and happy congre-
gation is again worshiping in its house of God.
On September 16th three special services were held
to celebrate the happy return of St. James’s Con-
eregation to its repaired chapel. “At the morning
service,” writes Rev. C. P. March, “the church was
crowded. Our text was Ps. 122, 1. The text for
the night service was Gen. 7%, 1. In the afternoon.
Miss Eliza J. Johnson gave a program with the
children, which was attended by a large crowd.
Preaching by the pastor.”

Tirnpen, AtA.— By the time this reaches the
reader, our new chapel at Tilden will probably -be
completed, and the happy people will have entered
their church home. But there will be one thing
lacking. Can you guess what it will be? PU tell
you—a bell. Is there any one among our readers
who alone or with the aid of others will help the
good people of Tilden to get a bell for their new
chapel, and thus make their joy perfect? I do
hope somebody will say, “Yes.”

IMMANUEL CHapen, Brooxiyn, N. Y.— Pas-
tor W. O. Hill tells us that Immanuel Chapel in
Brooklyn isin great need of an organ, altar, and
communion service.. If any one of our readers
wishes to correspond with Rey. Fill concerning the
matter, he may reach him by addressing the letter to
Rev. W. O. Hill, 6 Locust Hill Ave., Yonkers, N. Y.
