The Lutneran Pioneer.

Goop ror New Orteans.— The United Lu-
theran League is an organization of Lutherans in
New Orleans whose object is “the promotion and
welfare of our Lutheran Church and its several
congregations in New Orleans and vicinity.” As
Christian day-schools are a most important mis-
sionary agency, the League at its recent, well-
attended meeting discussed a paper on “Our Lu-
theran Parochial Schools.” A reporter in The
Southern Lutheran writes that all present took the
greatest interest in the subject, recognizing the im-
portance of such schools for the prosperity of the
Church. He says: “Never was the discussion from
the floor more lively and encouraging than at the
last meeting. Not one dissenting voice was heard ;
everybody spoke heart and soul for Lutheran parish
schools. And yet, people always speak as though
our school problem is losing interest and support!
Here, then, is hoping and yearning for the day
when ‘our schoolrooms will be .crowded with Lu-
theran children, all learning to know the kingdom
of God and His righteousness! Now is the oppor-
tunity, now, when the leading educators and social
reformers of our country are in despair over the
conduct and character of our youth.”

Nor CatLep.— A young man, thinking he was
called to preach, wrote to a faithful old pastor: “I
think I am called by the Spirit to preach; how
much do you think I can make a year?”

The reply was: “The question you asked shows
that you are not called.”

the Ey. Luth, St. Paul's Church, New Orleans, La.,
October 29, 1911. By N. J. Bakke.

Before a large gathering of Lutherans at the Walther

celebration in New Orleans this sermon was delivered by «

the Rey. N. J. Bakke, the Direetor of our Colored Mis-
sions. From Hebr. 16,7 the speaker plainly and elo-
quently presents the answer to the question, “When will
the eclebration of the Walther centennial redound to the
glory of God and be a lasting blessing to ourselves?” ‘The
New Orleans Pastoral Conference did well to request the
publication of the sermon as it deserves a wider circula-
tion. It ean be ordered from Concordia Publishing House,
St. Louis, Mo. Price per copy, 5 cts.; postage, 1 ct.
