New Onieans.—In giving’ the statistics of
our Lutheran churches in New Orleans, The South-
ern Lutheran also adds the statistics of our colored
Lutheran mission stations in that large city. Our
three missionary stations number at present 762
souls, 327 communicant members, and 58 voting
members: 419 children attend the Christian day
schools, in which instruction 3s given by 6 teachers
and 1 assistant teacher. The Sunday schools are
attended by 309 pupils.

Crry Mission. — From the same paper we learn
that city mission work has been begun in New Or-
leans. he paper says: “This latest work of our
church in this city has been carried on since the
beginning of this year. Its object is to spiritually
provide for our brethren in the various public and
charitable institutions of the city, especially the
sick in our hospitals, to lead into the way of salva-
tion, if possible, such as are serving a sentence in
prison, and to establish Sunday schools and mission
stations in different parts of our city. The blessed-
ness of this work can be better seen than told. In
our Charity Hospital there are at present no less
than fourteen brethren of our faith. The majority
of these are not from this city. Some are from
abroad, some from South America, and some from
other States. Imagine the joy of these poor, friend-
less sufferers, to be visited and comforted by a

minister of their own creed!”

A Sap Loss.—A reader in St. Louis writes:
“A sad loss has come to.our city mission here in
St. Louis in the death of Teacher O. Katthain, who
fell asleep in Jesus on the 4th of February, aged
84 years. For almost five years he, with great zeal
and self-denial, taught our city mission school, in-
structing the children especially in the way of life
and leading them to Jesus, the children’s Friend.
His labors were not in vain, and his memory is
blessed in many a home of the poor and destitute.
‘Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from
henceforth. Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may
rest from their labors; and their works do follow
them,’ Rey. 14, 13.” :

The doctrinal paper, based on Rom. 3, 21—4, 8, sets
forth in a simple, attractive manner the all-important doc-
trine of the sinner’s justification. The way of salvation
is therein made plain, and the treatise is well adapted to
strengthen the faith of God’s children, and to impart
light to the darkened understanding and comfort to the
troubled heart of the anxious sinner.
