to encourage their members to come to Immanuel for a go
Christian education and preparation for life, even if they do
wish to become pastors and teachers. The millions of Negro
who are still without a knowledge of their Savior require all

is for such whole-hearted co-operation in providing laborers for”

We would also like to mention here that although our school,
was originally built for and restricted to Negro students, for the
past several years our doors have been open to people of all races,
and this past year we had our first white student in our dormitory.
He is a first year seminarian from Fairlawn, N. J. Another Negro
student who completed his Junior College training at St. Paul’s
College, Concordia, Mo., also enrolled in our first year seminary
class this past year. Thus God is showing us how Immanuel has
served and will continue to serve the Church in its own way to 4
bring salvation to souls through the grace of our Lord Jesus 4
Christ.

Finances

Immanuel College has operated well within its budget again
the last two years. President Kampschmidt has handled all the
finances and kept the student accounts, made all disbursements,
and had the responsibility of all buying and supervision of the
boarding department. Mr. Colle Toenes, a member of Ebenezer
Lutheran Church, Greensboro, has again shown his love for the
Lord by giving valuable assistance to President Kampschmidt,
periodically checking the accounts and submitting financial state-
ments to the board of control and the Missionary Board. We are
truly grateful for his generous service.

The Future of LL. Cc.

In February ofthis year our board invited the board of con-
trol of Alabama Lutheran Academy-College of Selma, Ala., to
meet with us at I.L.C. to discuss matters of mutual interest to
both schools. Dr. Kurth was also present for this meeting. The
joint meeting was very profitable, and future meetings are planned
to develop certain phases of co-ordination between the schools
and: the mission field as it: pertains to the curriculum, student
recruitment, school personnel, policies,.and the like.
