The Lutheran Pioneer.

Arrican Kinos Baptizep.— After long and
careful instruction, King Kambonde, of Ovambo,
German Southwest Africa, was baptized in August,
1912. Before his death, which recently occurred,
he bore a fine testimony to his faith. His successor
was baptized on December 1, 1912, together with
56 of his subjects. The fact that Ovamboland will
from now on be under the rule of a Christian king
will be a great advantage to the Christian mission-
aries in the future.

Native DEACONESSES IN INpIA.—A Hindu
Deaconess Home is to be founded at Poona, where
-Hindu women and girls are to be trained for work
among the poor. The home is to be superintended
by a European Christian woman. A rich Hindu has
already offered a donation of $100,000 for the
founding of the home.

A Quarter CEenTURY’s GrowrH IN MANCHU-
rra.— A quarter of a century ago there were only
6 missionaries and 350 Christians in the whole
province of Manchuria. ‘To-day almost every larger
city has its mission station and a well-appointed
hospital, and besides these principal stations the
province has over 500 outstations, 520 native pas-
tors, evangelists, catechists, and teachers, and 20,000
church-members. ‘The Bible Society has a block of
buildings at Mukden, branches at Newchwang and
Changchun, and 12 subdepots, together with a staff
of 40 colporteurs, and not a few voluntary and
subsidized workers.

So long as we can find spots on the sun, we can
find blemishes in every Christian’s life. Even the
Bible says that a righteous man falls seven times
and rises again. .
