66 The Lutheran Pioneer.

Crry Missions. — From the annual Report of
the Lutheran City Missions in Milwaukee we learn
that also in the past year the mission enjoyed God’s
richest blessing. In the 21 public institutions of
the city, having 6000 inmates, the missionary, the
Rey..E. Duemling, made known, in public and in
private, the Gospel message for the salvation of
souls. The Report states that 103 regular services
were held, 6 confessional, and 11 funeral services,
and that 1616 visits to the sick were made. 256
persons communed, 11 persons were baptized, 5
adults were confirmed, and 24 persons died under
the pastoral care of the missionary. What a blessed
work it is to minister as God’s messenger to the
sick and the dying in the hospitals and asylums, to
the aged and infirm and destitute in the homes pro-
vided for them, and to the prisoners in their prison
cells ! :

Inpta. —In the India field in which the Lu-
theran Missouri Synod began mission work but a
few years ago there are at present 9 missionaries at
work, 246 Christians, about 887 pupils attending
the Christian schools, and 100 to 200 catechumens
under instruction preparatory to baptisin.

ArrioA. — In Africa to-day there are 2470 mis-
sionaries, assisted by 13,089 native Christian work-
ers. A chain of connected missions reaches from
the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean.

A Seur-Denyine Giver.—A Mr. Hamilton,
who was a mere clerk in a surveyor’s office in Glas-
gow, Scotland, and whose income was only $350.00
a year, gave to the church every year $100.00, or
nearly one-third of his entire income. After his
death his cash account was found with the Lord’s

offering indicated there, and it was discovered that

he had spent only one shilling a day on his own
needs, besides the three shillings a week for lodg-
ings, that he might give the more to the cause of
Christ. He was indeed a self-denying giver, and
he gave quietly “as to the Lord, and not unto men.”

FunerRAL Sermon. By Rev. Oscar Kaiser.

This sermon, based on Hebr. 13, 7, was preached No-
vember 29, 1909, in the Immanuel German Lutheran
Church, Baltimore, Md., at the funeral of L. GC. Krieger,
who for thirty-five years faithfully served the congrega-
tion as parochial schoolteacher. In simple Janguage and
in a convincing manner it is shown “that the words of
the text: ‘Remember them who have spoken unto you the
Word of God’ apply also to a Lutheran parochial school-
teacher,” and a touching appeal is made to the scholars
and to the members of the congregation to remember him
who in love to the Savior for so many years faithfully fed
the lambs of. Jesus with the pure Word of God.

Copies -of the sermon may be had of the author at
5 cents each or 50 cents a dozen. Address Rev. O. Kaiser,
415 W. 24th St., Milwaukee, Wis.
