Wildgrube, Renault, Ill., has accepted the call to New Orleans and expects to take charge of his work in March. A Poputar Lecrurer. — Pastor M. Carter, formerly of Rosebud, Ala., has been lecturing in the interest of our Colored Missions in various States since last fall with marked success. People have come miles to hear him, and wherever he has spoken, there he has kindled and increased the interest in our blessed work. As a result of his work, two young boys have decided to study for the ministry, and one of these young students already has de- termined to enter the Colored field. At present Pastor Carter is lecturing in St. Louis and vicinity. Later he expects to go to Minnesota. Our congre- gations in and about Stillwater, Minn., have asked him to preach one of the anniversary sermons to commemorate the founding of the Synodical Con- ference, at a celebration to be held in Stillwater on July 2. Those who may wish to engage the services of Rey. Carter should apply to Pastor C. F’. Drewes, 3735 Vista Place, Pine Lawn Branch, St. Louis, Mo.

Stipe Bureau. — An institution that will un- doubtedly help to bring a better appreciation of our Lutheran Church in this country has been estab- lished in the Lutheran Slide Bureau by the Educa- tional Department of the Walther League. A num- ber of illustrated lectures (each accompanied by manuscript) have been prepared, which deal with the history of our Lutheran Church, its missions, its educational and charitable institutions. In ad- dition, there are several dozen lectures on Biblical subjects, Church history, travel, secular history, and kindred subjects. A total of several thousand beau- tifully colored views are offered to churches and societies for the fee of ten dollars a year (to defray handling charges), which would hardly cover the rental cost of some of these beautiful sets.
