THE LUTHERAN PIONEER

On June 7, 1931, Candidate Winston J. Pledger
began his work at Southern Pines, N.C.

In April, 1932, the Rev. John W. Fuller was
taken seriously ill. His three charges, St. Peter’s,
Mount Pleasant, and Kannapolis, are being supplied
for the present by Pastors Foard, Holsten, and
Vorice, respectively.

By means of a canvass of a portion of Washing-
ton, D. C., during July and August, 1931, Student
Casimir David of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis,

located for our purposes, was purchased in Septem-
ber, 1930. The interior of the church was renovated,
and the necessary repairs of the exterior were made.
The total expenditure amounted to $3,316.53. Ded-
icatory services took place January 4, 1931.
Buffalo, on April 3, 1932, dedicated a beautiful
new chapel and a remodeled parsonage. The local
congregations financed these building operations.

New Buildings.

During the past biennium the Administration
Building of Immanuel Lutheran College was com-
pletely renovated, both the exterior and the interior,
so that we now have a truly modern plant. A wing
was added to the elementary school, which has been
equipped for the high-school classes. This work was
done at a total expenditure of $38,916.60.

_ At Oakland, Cal., a little frame church, formerly
used by the Latter-day Saints, but very conveniently

places new sites have already been acquired by the
Missionary Board.

At Kannapolis, N.C., the congregation itself
will build a six-room parsonage, to cost about
$1,250. Money will be obtained from the Mission-
ary Board in the form of a loan.

During the coming two years the opening of new
stations in rented quarters in such cities as already
have a little nucleus is of greater importance than
the making of plans for additional buildings in
established congregations, except, as indicated above,
in High Point and Concord.

of two congregations in the Eastern Field. which
