The Lutheran Pioneer.

much against our inclinations, pitched our tents in
“Holley’s House,” where we are learning lessons in
mastering difficulties and in being “patient under
tribulations.”

About 30 new students have been enrolled, and
more are expected. The old ones are gradually re-
turning, and if all the applicants come we shall
have an enrollment of 60. :

On the 14th Sunday after Trinity Rev. Henry
Gross, a graduate of the St. Louis Seminary, was
installed in his office as professor at our college.
The services were held in the Lutheran Grace
Church, Rev. J. C. Schmidt, pastor, and were at-
tended by a large and appreciative audience.

A parochial school, which also serves as a prac-
tice school for the Normal class, has been estab-
lished under the auspices of the college. It is
temporarily located in the public school house and
in charge of Miss Eliza Johnston, of the class
of 1907.

Four young men have entered upon the study
of theology. Dr. Fr. Patterson, who was to enter
that class and also to superintend the parochial
school, took suddenly sick as he was about to enter
upon his journey to Greensboro, and died in a few
days. During his sickness he wrote, among other
things, the following to the undersigned: “By the
grace of God I became a Lutheran, and by His
grace I will remain a Lutheran unto my end.”

A new feature has been added to our school.
The girls are being taught plain sewing and dress-
making by a competent lady teacher. The girls
are encouraged to learn sewing rather than music,
provided they cannot afford to learn both.

We commend ourselves and all that are en-
trusted to us to God’s merciful, protecting care and
to the intercession of our fellow Christians.

NOTICE.

Those of our subscribers receiving their paper by mail
direct from us will please note that in future the wrapper
will not only have their name and address, but also the
date on which their subscription expires. For instance,
“Jan. 06” printed on the wrapper means that the subscrip-
tion is paid up to that time, and implies that for 1906 the
subscription is still due.

Heretofore we mailed a receipt for all remittances for
subscriptions. This will be discontinued with the direct
subscriptions. In future, the change of date on the wrap-
per will be the receipt. If the date is not changed on the
wrapper of the first number received after payment has
been made, kindly defer writing to us until you have seen
the following number.

Subscribers paying an agent, minister, or teacher will
please note that the agent cannot remit every quarter to
us as he gets it, but must wait until a larger sum is ac-
cumulated, in order to save time and expense. It may
happen, therefore, that the date on the wrapper has not
been changed at once after they have paid their subscrip-
tion to him. If, however, the date has not been changed
several months after payment made to the agent, we would
advise you to kindly sce him, in order to avoid misunder-
standing or error.

When paying an agent, it would be well to hand him,
together with the money, that part of the wrapper con-
taining your name and address, to avoid mistakes. The
agents are supplied with receipt blanks free of charge from
us and are therefore in a position to give the subscriber
a receipt.
