apparent that every Christian is an evangelist for
his surrounding. Several outstations belong. to
Otjosazu, which are served by native workers under
the supervision of the missionary. Everywhere it
is plain that Christianity is working as an active
leayen.

Thus without trumpeting and noise did this
missionary and his wife bring about a wonderful
change in twenty years among the savage Herero
of German Southwest Africa. — May God be praised
for His grace and blessing!

Report of Board on Colored Missions.

From the Board’s extensive report we cull the
following items: —

Our CoLurcss.

1. Immanuel Lutheran College in Greensboro,
N. C.— This institution was founded in the year
1903. ‘The present faculty consists of Director
F. Berg, Prof. J. Ph. Schmidt, Prof. F. Wahlers,
and Assistant Professor Albert Berg. Immanuel
: College educates colored preachers and teachers.
Colored girls are also admitted. During the past

scholastic year the institution had 45 students, ten
less than in the year before, which fact is to be
attributed to the closing of the girls’ dormitory.
There is every reason, though, to believe that the
number of students will show quite an increase in
the coming year, since 17 new students were already
announced by the end of June. During the ten
years of its existence, Immanuel College graduated
ten young men from the theological course and
nine students from its normal course. ‘The main
building of the institution stands in need of ex-
tensive repairs, some of which must be made this
summer.

2. Luther College, New Orleans. — The faculty
of this school consists of Director R. A. Wilde and
Prof. H. Meibohm. Since 1910, Luther College
is only a preparatory school of Immanuel College
at Greensboro. ‘This institution was attended by
41 students last year. The outlook for the future
is bright, and an increase in the number of stu-
dents is expected, though Mount Zion and Beth-
lehem stations sent no students last year, and will
probably send none in the next year. Repairs to
the extent of $415.63 were made. The Health
Board of New Orleans has also insisted upon sani-

sum the treasurer was obliged to borrow because
of the poor condition of the treasury.
