The Lutheran Pioneer.

Mission News from North Carolina.

The Pioneer will be glad to carry the news
to the homes of its friends that the Synodical
Conference at its last session in Milwaukee
resolved to establish Preparatory Schools in
the South for the education of colored minis-
ters and teachers. On the 12th of August the
Immanuel Conference met at Concord, and,
among other things, agreed to petition the
Mission Board for the temporary opening of
the school at that place this fall. Ata nomi-
nal cost two rooms in the large building occu-
pied by the parochial school can be turned
into a spacious dormitory and dining room.
It is confidently hoped that the Board will act
_ promptly and favorably on the petition.

On the 10th of August, Candidate Lucius
E. Thalley, who, with Mr. Stuart Doswell,
graduated from our Seminary at Springfield,
Iil., this year was ordained to the office of holy
ministry at St. Paul’s Church, Charlotte. The
writer was assisted by Rev. J. Phil. Schmidt,
of Concord. The words of the holy Apostle
Paul, Acts 20, 28—32, were impressed upon
the young brother: 1. Take heed to yourself ;
2. take heed to all the flock.

Rey. Lucius Elerbie Thalley was born at
Marion, N. C., October 25, 1879, and entered
the Seminary at Springfield, Il]., 1897. At
present he is acting as supply for Rev. Schmidt,
of Concord, who is sick at his home in Cleve-
land, Ohio. Upon his return, Rev. Thalley will

~ take charge of our colored church at Spring-

field, as the successor of the Rey. Prof. Herzer.
May God endow him with the gifts of His
Spirit, and make him a blessing unto many!
On the following Sunday, the St. Paul’s
Church celebrated its annual mission festival.
The Revs. Schutes and Thalley and Prof.
Romoser of Concordia College, Conover, de-
livered able missionary addresses to large
audiences. The collection raised for the bene-
fit of Immanuel College amounted to $14.50.
September 7 was a record breaker in the
history of our mission festivals in Concord.
Besides the city people, six country congrega-
tions assembled at Grace Church to listen to
sermons by the missionaries Paul Engelbert,
George Schutes, and the writer. The church
was handsomely decorated with flowers, ever-
greens, and the fruits of the season. The offer-
ings for Immanuel College amounted to $16.00.
In the absence of the pastor and his family
Mrs. Sallie Alexander and Miss Mamie Person
entertained the preachers, for which grateful
_ acknowledgment is herewith returned.
Mrs. Sallie Sims, a member of Mount Zion
‘Church at Meyersyille, departed this life on
9th of August, and was buried on the fol-
ing day, followed to the grave by a large
sourse of people who loved her. Sallie was

“Willingly Give!’’

Sometimes people think that because they | ,,

cannot give hundreds of dollars to missions
it is not worth while to give anything. They
think their little mites would not count. They
forget that great oak trees grow from little
acorns. <A lady was sending a box of dried
apples to some relatives in the far West, and
her daughter tucked in a few Sunday-school
papers. The box reached its destination, was
opened, and the papers were read. They
awakened a longing for some kind of reli-
gious services, and a little Sunday-school was
started, which afterward grew into a large
and flourishing church.

A beautiful and accomplished young lady
went to India to teach in the missionaries’
school. She wrote two letters to the boys of
her former Sunday-school class, in which she
described the great needs of the heathen.
Those letters were the cause of the forming
of a large missionary society, which several
years afterward sent three of its number to
preach the Gospel in foreign lands.

A young servant girl gave one dollar to
foreign missions. Her wages were only three
dollars per week, and her mistress was so im-
pressed by her generosity that her own con-
science was stirred and she gave one thou-

sand dollars.

A Change of Opinion.

That missionaries have won a place for them-
selves in India is shown by two remarks made
concerning them. Ninety-five years ago the
directors of the East India Company placed
on solemn record the declaration: ‘‘The send-
ing of Christian missionaries into our Eastern
possessions is the maddest, most expensive,
most unwarranted project that was ever pro-
posed by a lunatic enthusiast.’’

Ten years ago Sir Rivers Thompson, lieu-
tenant-governor of Bengal, said: ‘‘In my judg-
ment Christian missionaries have done more
real and lasting good to the people of India
than all other agencies combined.’’

God’s Promises.

‘‘With all God’s promises there can be no
valley of trouble without a door of hope; no
wilderness without manna; no rock without
water; no dungeon without light; no trial
without comfort.’”
