The Lutheran Pioneer.

obedience to His command to disciple all people.
The solution of the colored problem is Christian
education. The colored people need Christian
churches and Christian schools. Higher education
in Christian colleges is necessary also for colored
teachers and preachers, as only through them can
the Jeaven work faster than the advancing popula-
tion. Said a Southern editor: “The negro is here
to stay, and we shall have to make the best of him.
The way to do this is to help him make the best of
himself by giving him a good education in Christian
schools, — mark well, I say, Christian schools.’ ”

Inpra. — According to recent reports from the
Missouri Synod’s mission field in India the work is
still progressing. At one of the stations the mis-
sionary, within a year, baptized 56 souls. The
services are remarkably well attended, and the na-

. tive Christians contribute regularly and hold also
regular congregational meetings. In another dis-
trict the missionary baptized in a Sunday morning
service 61 persons, children and adults. In this
district there is a catechetical school for preparing
native Christians’ for work in the mission field.
This school has an attendance of 20. Friends of the
mission will be glad to hear that one of the last year
graduates of our St. Louis Seminary has accepted

a call to the India mission field and will start for
that heathen land soon after Easter.

New Tanonrers. — Six new missionary laborers,
graduates of our St. Louis and Springfield Semi-
naries, left in the latter part of March for South
America, to enter the large and promising Lutheran
mission field in Brazil and Argentine, where the
work is progressing so rapidly that the need for
more men and means has become very urgent.

Famine 1n Cuina.— Sad stories of misery in
the famine-stricken regions of China are reported.
A missionary reports that “children are sold into
slavery for less than two pounds of bread. People
exchange almost all their clothing for a few morsels
of food, and then perish from exposure to the
wintry storms.” But he reports also that many
Chinese Christians “prove, even in the face of death,
their Christian hope and trust and their patient
submission to God’s will.”

Inprans. — There are about 300,000 Indians in ~

the States. Oklahoma has more than any other

state; namely, 117,124. In Arizona, where Lu-
therans are doing mission work, there are 39,000,
in Wisconsin, where there is also a Lutheran mis-
sion, the Indians number 10,688.
