Tur L. B.S.—Be sure to read Pastor Hill’s 5
article in which he maps out the future program —
of the Lutheran Education Society, which has th
laudable purpose of furthering higher education
among the Negroes. The Christian education of —
the Negro youth of the South is the mighty lever
that will do more to uplift the colored people than |
any other agency. Help along the L. E. 8.!

ImmaNuBL Connuan.— Too late for our. last
number we received a communication from “Uncle
Tom,” which very interestingly described the “big
doin’s” they had at Immanuel College when Presi-
dent J. Ph. Smith and Professors Kunzmann and
Schwehn were inducted into office. The services —
held upon the occasion were attended by people who -
had, in part, come from a great distance. Pastor
k. Jesse, a member of the Mission Board, delivered —
the principal address. In passing, we shall take
ee a say that as we do not know who “Uncle
Tom’ is, he should reveal his identity to us when
he writes again, as the PionEER cannot publish
anonymous articles.

A New Department ar Iuewanunn. — A mu

department has been added to Immanuel College to

provide for the wants of those boys and girls who
are not sufficiently advanced to enter the College
classes. The Mission Board has called Rev. Jo
McDavid of Charlotte to take charge of this depart-
ment. His wife has been appointed matron of the
girls’ dormitory at Immanuel College. She as: in-
structs in sewing and music. ;
Intustratep Leorures. — Do you want to show
your people what is being done by our Mission
among the colored people of Louisiana, Alabama,
and the Carolinas? Then send for one of the in-
teresting illustrated lectures got out by the Board
for this very purpose. The Board will furnish yo
machine, slides, and lecture, German or English,
free of charge. All that you will be asked to do is
to give the people that have seen the pictures and
heard the lecture a chance to give what they wi
to the cause of Colored Missions. Address Rev. ‘Thy
