Peay very much. In him we have a man well able
to represent our Colored Missions before our people.
A goodly number of my members came forward
after the service and personally expressed their ap-
preciation to him. Our people are thankful to the

Pastor Chas.

Peay.

Mission Board for sending such an able colored

representative of the Mission, and long will they

remember the evening of Rev. Peay’s address. God

give us many such Peays for our Negro Missions!
Fraternally,

Our colored brother, Pastor Peay, was in our
midst last Sunday, and delighted our people with
a very fine lecture. He is a Christian gentleman,
and made a very good impression on our people.
The collection amounted to $133.60, but we may
be able to increase that a little, since the people had
the opportunity to hear a report at first hand.
. There was only one thing wrong about the lecture:
_ It was too short. We could have listened to Brother
Peay for another hour. So the lecture was a success
and very well received. And now let me tell you
of some of the after-effects. We had invited some
of the better class of colored folks living in the
vicinity, and they came. One young man was so
taken with the account of the work among the mem-
bers of his race that he came around Jast night and
asked if he could study to become a Lutheran
preacher. He has an eight-grade education and
began the first year of high school. .

Fraternally yours,
