were well attended and enjoyed by all. Much credit
is due Rey. Alston and his faithful members, and
also many friends, for the royal way in which they
entertained Conference. And we sincerely hope to
go lo Mount Pleasant again.

Conference adjourned Sunday afternoon, after
Rey. Hill had, in a few well-chosen words, thanked
the pastor loci, members and friends, with the sing-
ing of “God Be With You,” to convene next year,
if no change is made, in Charlotte, N. C., ai
St. Paul’s Church.

May God continue to send His blessings to the
members and friends of Immanuel Conference!

Items of Interest from Our Colored
Mission Field.

Rev. N. J. Bakke, the Superintendent of our

Colored Mission, has removed, with his family, from
Cincinnati to St. Louis, in order that he may be in
closer touch with the Mission Board and may more
conveniently attend iis meetings. Rey. Bakke is
still far from being a well man, his broken limb
still giving him much trouble. Despite this fact,
however, he takes advantage of everys possible oc-
casion to present the cause of our Colored Mission
to the people. About a month ago he visited the
editor, not for recreation, but to deliver two ad-
dresses on Colored Missions. A few weeks ago he
spoke on the same subject at a large missionary
meeting in St. Louis.

Mr. “Unknown,” that true friend of our Mis-
sion, again visited ‘Treasurer Doederlein the last
week in August. The object. of his visit was the
same as that of all his previous visits; upon leay-
ing he left $500.00 in the hands of the treasurer.

Farier Waurke has also again proved his in-
terest in our Mission by donating the sum of
$300.00. God bless him for his good deed, and
graciously reward him and all friends, known and
unknown, of our work among our colored fellow-
men. :

the portraits of these two young laborers in this
issue of the Pioneer. — Rev. Schmidt writes that
his teachers are working hard. A large attendance
is expected, and a fourth teacher may have to be
appointed for the school.— The Elmira Street
School will be in charge of Miss Adeline Hinn dur-
ing this school-year, Student Paul Lehman, who
had charge of this school, having entered Immanuel
College at Greensboro, N. C.— The alterations in
the Mount Zion school-building are completed. In-
stead of two, the school will now have three rooms.
The people of Mount Zion have paid the expenses,
about $125.00, themselves. — St. John’s School and
Sunday-school has had a fine attendance all sum-
mer. St. John’s is a branch of Mount Zion and
has been in charge of Student Carl Stoll. An at-
tempt to establish regular services at this branch
will be made in the near fuiure.— The enlarge-
ment of the Bethlehem School has been completed
at a cost of $2,000. The enlarged school will have
accommodations for 400 pupils. But we are sorry
to add that the money needed for the necessary im-
provement has not come in as freely as it should
have done.

Sauissury, N. C.—Mr. J. F. M. Thalley, a
former public schoolteacher at Marion, N. C., has
heen called to take charge of the school at Salis-
bury. Mr. Thalley was carefully examined by the
Faculty of Immanuel College before being called,
and comes to us highly recommended by all that
know him. Mr. Thalley is a brother of ex-pastor
Thalley of Denver, Colo., who was obliged to resign
from the ministry on account of ill health. Tey.
Lash, the missionary at Salisbury, writes: “\Words
fail to express our appreciation. We shall endeavor
to show in our feeble way how glad we are to have
the teacher by contributing more to the mission
treasury in the future than ever before.”

Concorp anp Sanpy Rince, N. C.— On Sun-
day. August 31, Prof. J. Ph. Schmidt installed
Candidate Walier G. Sehwehn in Grace Church,
Concord, and at Sandy Ridge. he young brother
had been previously ordained by his pastor, Rev.
Stoeppelwerth, at Fort Wayne, Ind. Besides preach-
ing at both places, Rev. Schwehn will also teach
school in Concord.

Gnreenspono, N. C.— Immanuel College opened

its ‘doors for the new school-year on September 3.
We are happy to state that Director Berg was able
to take up his duties again, his health being quite
good. —The wife of Teacher Evans of the Im-
