Collections in the Southeastern Field. — During _the first nine months of this.year the total income from the southeastern part of our Colored Mission field totaled $9,148.03. Rockwell, N.C.— The people of Rockwell are happy, for they have made the final payment on their loan from the Mission Board, which they. had obtained when they added another room to their church to serve as a school. The missionary and his members did the work, while the Board ad- vanced them the money for the material. Now this, too, has been paid. Winston-Salem, N. C. — Rev. Jesse Hunt re- cently had his. tonsils removed. Pastor Hunt has had trouble with his throat for years, and it is hoped that this operation will end these troubles for good. Charlotte, N. C. — Our Charlotte congregation lost a very aged member in the death of Lyncie Lyles, who died at the advanced age of 111 years, 6 months, and 7 days. Greensboro, N. C. — The Board for Colored Mis- sions is enlisting the cooperation of our Walther Leaguers in their efforts to provide Immanuel Lu- theran College with dormitory facilities, which have been a crying need at that institution for years.

As in former years, Wheat Ridge Christmas Seals are again being sold to raise funds for the - fight against the dread White Plague which annually carries away many thousands of young people in our country. The funds realized through the sale of the seals enables many a Lu- theran to wage his fight against ERAN SAMITARIUN Si) WHEAT RIOGE 6) =) co.orpano the dread disease, not among strangers, but among ™ . friends and fellow-Lutherans at our model Lu- theran Sanitarium at Wheat Ridge, Colo. No one is immune from tuberculosis. You are probably already infected, although you are in no danger therefrom as long as you keep well and strong enough to resist the attack of the germs. There is, however, only one sure way for you and everybody to avoid the disease, and that is to check its spread or to stamp it out entirely. There is hope that this may be done. The fight against tuber- culosis has achieved results. To-day only one per- son dies of consumption where two died before. Christmas seals helped save the other life. Six and one half million Wheat Ridge Christ- mas Seals are being offered for sale during this festival season. The number is large enough to insure putting a seal on every Christmas-letter and -card sent by Lutherans within the Synodical Con- ference. If this is done, more than the needed sum of $50,000 will be realized, and our Lutheran Sani- tarium Will again be able to go forward in its blessed work of not only relieving bodily distress, but doing also a far nobler work, helping, through Lutheran pastors, doctors, and nurses, to proclaim the love of God in Christ Jesus to the sufferer. For Intherans there can be no question but that their own sanitarium shall be the beneficiary of the ex- cellent custom of using Christmas seals. Order .

Jesus, the Good Shepherd, says: “Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and there shall be one flock and one Shepherd.” John 10,16. Not only the lost sheep of the house of Israel, but also the lost and scattered sheep of the Gentile nations must be brought into the fold of the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd laid down His life for the sheep. He redeemed the lost from sin, death, and the devil that they might be His own. On Calvary’s holy mountain that work of redemption was “fin- ished’ when the Good Shepherd died. But the task of “bringing the other sheep” will not be accomplished until the lost of all nations have heard the glad tidings of redemption and the entire flock of the Good Shepherd has been “gath- -ered together in one” — one flock, one Shepherd, in paradise. “T must bring them,” the Good Shepherd says. Not one of My sheep shall be lost. “How does the Good Shepherd bring them?
