McDavid is again troubled with nervousness, and Director Drewes has granted him a brief vacation. : Anniversary. — In a special anniversary num- ber the Lutheran Hospice and City Mission Bulletin of Buffalo calls attention to the fact that the City Mission in Buffalo has been carried on by our brethren for-twenty years. ‘The City Missionary and his assistant have been visiting regularly in fifteen public institutions of the city and have had interviews with thousands of persons every year. The statistics given show that it is indeed a won- derful work that is being done by our city mission- aries and that this blessed work should be prosecuted in many more cities of our country. F.

The report of the Atlantic District brings a fine Ger- man paper on “Infant Baptism.” ‘The report of the Southern District is wholly English; besides the presi- dent’s address and report, it brings only the business transactions, probably because it was felt that a short synopsis of the doctrinal paper on “The Office of a Bishop,” from the pen of the sainted Pastor Reinhardt, would not do justice to the essay. The minutes of the Colorado District contain an instructive paper on “The Saving Grace of God.” This paper is given in German, but the business transactions are reported in English. The Eastern District report has a German essay hearing the title, “Der Hausgottesdienst.” Outline for the Study of Bible History in the Upper Grades. Compiled by R. A. Mangelsdorf.
