took quarters with members of St. Paul’s congre-
gation and did not fail to attend services regularly,
thereby setting an example to many Lutherans who
visit this city, but never think of inquiring for the
churches and the people of their faith.

Our Sournern District held its annual synod
at Mobile, Ala., February 6 to 12. A number of
our missionaries were in attendance. The presi-
dents of Luther College at New Orleans and of
Immanuel College at Greensboro, N. C., were given
an opportunity to report on the mission in general
and also on the standing of the institutions they
represented. Synod showed great interest in these
reports on the progress of our work and resolved
to publish them in full in its record of proceedings.

THE sums collected in the services and realized
by the envelope system during the month of Jan-
uary amounted to $28.65 for St. Paul, $29.12 for
Bethlehem, and $30.15 for Mount Zion. Our mem-
bership is not large and our people are compara-
tively poor, therefore the above sums, though small
in themselves, are a source of gratification to us.

Pror. Gruner at Napoleonville now has close
upon seventy pupils in his school.

Prors. WENGER AND MUELLER of Luther Col-
lege are suffering with an attack of the grippe.
We hope they will soon be at their desks again.

Susan’s Joy.

“What made your heart so glad, Susan?” asked
a missionary in Western Africa of one of the black
people among whom he labored.

“Ah! you see that poor thief you talk about;
he no good at all; he be bad when they hang him
on the cross. God teach him; He show him bad
heart; He make him pray to Jesus Christ, “Lord,
remember me.’ Jesus no say, ‘Me no want. you;
you be too bad; thief too much.’ No; He no say
so, but take and tell him, ‘To-day thou shalt be
with me in heaven.’ I see Christ take poor sinner,
made me glad too much and made me sing. He
take poor thief; He take me—me the same.”

The Death of Christ.

The death of Christ was the opening of the
all-cleansing fountain for sin and uncleanness. The
Just died for the unjust; the Lord of glory was

crucified for sinners; the Beloved Son was for-
saken, and His offering accepted, that the returning
prodigal might be welcomed to the Father’s house,
and abide eternally there. Thus justice is satisfied,
holiness vindicated, divine wrath appeased, truth
fulfilled, the Law of God magnified, peace pro-
claimed, mercy flows out, the guilty are pardoned,
and the lost saved; for “He was wounded for our
transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities ;
the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and
with His stripes we are healed.” — Selected.

The pamphlet contains the latest proceedings of the
Evy. Luth. Synodical Conference. The doctrinal paper is
an instructive and edifying essay on the words of the
apostle: “IEndeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in
the bond of peace.” The pamphlet presents also a very in-
teresting and encouraging report of our mission work
among the colored people.
