of our people at Meherrin, and are sorry that we
are not able to give it to our readers. Suffice it
here to say that the new pastor, the people, and the
children all had a most blessed and joyous time.
The new pastor is much encouraged by his Christ-
mas experience and though no longer young in years,
his letter shows that he has all the enthusiasm of
a young man, and that he regards it as a great
privilege to serve the Lord in his present capacity.
We feel sure that God is going to bless the labors
of Pastor Dorpat, and that he will have many an-
other happy and encouraging experience, such as he
had ‘last Christmas. God bless the good people of
Meherrin and their pastor, and grant them the
strength and courage to work and battle for Jesus
and His kingdom!

PLaQuEMINE, uA. — We have a building-site in
Plaquemine. On December 31, a lot 80175 feet
was bought from Mr. Clarence O. Dupont for
$1,500. Mr. Dupont donated $100 of the purchase
price to our Mission, for which kind deed we express
our hearty thanks. Now that we have a fine build-
ing-site, may God soon give us the necessary money
to erect a church and school.

ALABAMA. — We are pleased to hear that Miss
Rosa Young, who was ill, has recovered and is at
work again.

GreEensporo, N. C. — While President J. P.
Smith and his wife were out walking the day after
Christmas, a fast-moving auto without the least
warning ran into Mrs. Smith and hurled her quite
a distance. The car moved so rapidly that it could
not be identified. Mrs. Smith was taken to the
hospital, where by means of an X-ray examination
it was learned that there were two fractures of the
pelvic bone. May God soon restore Mrs. Smith to
health and strength. F. J. L.

Young Lutherans’ Magazine is 2 16-page monthly and

Besides these articles, which were of particular interest

to the editor, the number has other excellent reading.

man among our boys, girls, youths, and maidens, though
I know of many older people that delight to read the
larger German periodical. In fact, the editor is one of
them; he became a reader of the Kinder- und Jugendblatt
when if was still called the Kinderblatt, forty-six years
ago, and he has not lost the. habit of reading it to this
day. What a wonderfully great blessing these periodicals
would be if all those for whom they are intended would
read them! FJ.
