Schmidt, “to do their bit in gathering the Jubilee Fund.” The editor is sorry that space forbids him in bringing copies of the appeals which Pastor Schmidt has sent out to our Colored members in Alabama. At last reports these poor Colored churches in Alabama expected to reach the $750 mark with their Easter offerings for the Fund! Pror. G. Mrzcrr. — We are sorry to hear that at this writing the venerable Chairman of the Board for Colored Missions is at the Lutheran Hospital in St. Louis, where he recently underwent several operations. May God hold His protecting hand over him and soon enable him to take up again his labors in the lecture-room and in the Board meetings ! Pror. TH. GrarBNrr. — When we heard a few weeks ago that Professor Graebner felt himself com- pelled to retire from the Board because other duties demanded his whole attention, we wished and prayed that ways and means might be found to make it possible for him to withdraw his resigna- tion. It now seems that God has heard our prayers and that this valuable member of the Board may find it feasible to continue on the Board. We are happy! GENERAL CONFERENCE or CoLorED Mission Workers. — This important gathering has been postponed to June 14—18. May the Lord enable many of the workers to attend this important meet- ing and bless the sessions a hundredfold! Tuer Mission Treasury. — There is a deficit of over $2,000 in the current expense fund, and May, June, and July, the three “leanest”” months ‘of the year, are ahead. We earnestly hope that our friends’ interest in the Jubilee collection will not let them forget this current expense fund, out of which the salaries of the workers are paid! BarrELs AND ENvELorEs. — Director Drewes reports that numerous requests for barrels and en- velopes, also for circulars, are being received at his office. The supply of circulars is exhausted just at present, but a new supply will probably be ready in a short time. Barrels and envelopes are inex- haustible ! F. J. L. BOOK TABLE.

A Most Appropriate Mission Box. To meet a real demand, we offer this splendid Mission 30x to our readers, fully convineed that we are in a posi- tion to offer them a mission box that is bound to draw the attention of old and young at a price that is remark- ably low. This little Colored solicitor for missionary gifts can be appropriately placed in the church, the school, the Sunday-school, the society hall, or the home. We are sure that this collection device will increase the donations for missions, since it is a standing appeal to every one that sees it not to forget the great work of spreading the Gos- pel. Many a nickel and dime will find its way into the mission treasury that would be lost to the cause, were it not for the silent, but insistent appeal of this little kneel- ing Negro boy in his white garment, who gratefully and most politely acknowledges even the smallest gift by a nod of his shapely head.
