The Lutheran Pioneer.

 —————

23

A New Worker. — Pastor E. H. Wildgrube,
Renault, Ill., has accepted the call to New Orleans
and expects to take charge of his work in March.

A Poputar Lecrurer. — Pastor M. Carter,
formerly of Rosebud, Ala., has been lecturing in the
interest of our Colored Missions in various States
since last fall with marked success. People have
come miles to hear him, and wherever he has spoken,
there he has kindled and increased the interest in
our blessed work. As a result of his work, two
young boys have decided to study for the ministry,
and one of these young students already has de-
termined to enter the Colored field. At present
Pastor Carter is lecturing in St. Louis and vicinity.
Later he expects to go to Minnesota. Our congre-
gations in and about Stillwater, Minn., have asked
him to preach one of the anniversary sermons to
commemorate the founding of the Synodical Con-
ference, at a celebration to be held in Stillwater on
July 2. Those who may wish to engage the services
of Rey. Carter should apply to Pastor C. F’. Drewes,
3735 Vista Place, Pine Lawn Branch, St. Louis, Mo.

Our Drar-Mure Misston. — The work is car-
ried on in 72 cities and in 13 State schools. The
Mission numbers 724 communicant members, and
209 deaf are being instructed for confirmation. ‘The
work is conducted by 12 missionaries. One of the
workers, Rev. E. W. Bohn, died a few months ago,
after only a very short period of service in the
Mission. F. J. L.

Walther League Notes.

New Narionan Tleapquarrers. — The con-
tinued growth of the Walther League has neces-
sitated the removal of the national headquarters and
of the service department to Chicago, where a large
and commodious building has been purchased. All
inquiries relative to the work of the Walther League
are to be addressed to 6438 Eggleston Ave., Chi-
cago, Ill.

Stipe Bureau. — An institution that will un-
doubtedly help to bring a better appreciation of our
Lutheran Church in this country has been estab-
lished in the Lutheran Slide Bureau by the Educa-
tional Department of the Walther League. A num-
ber of illustrated lectures (each accompanied by
manuscript) have been prepared, which deal with
the history of our Lutheran Church, its missions,
its educational and charitable institutions. In ad-
dition, there are several dozen lectures on Biblical

subjects, Church history, travel, secular history, and
kindred subjects. A total of several thousand beau-
tifully colored views are offered to churches and
societies for the fee of ten dollars a year (to defray
handling charges), which would hardly cover the
rental cost of some of these beautiful sets. For
further information apply to the Educational De-
partment, Walther League, 6438 Eggleston Ave.,
Chicago, Il.

Tre Warruer League Hospice System now
operates Lutheran hospices in the following cities:
Washington, Buffalo, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis,
Sioux City, and Omaha. In six other localities the
young people are at work establishing similar in-
stitutions.

Our Cotorep YounG PEOPLE JOINING THE
Leacue. — An interesting and important event re-
cently occurred when the first Colored Lutheran
young people’s society of our Church sought (and
was granted) admission to the Walther League.
This, the officials of the League believe, is the be-
ginning of a strong movement which will soon
result in the establishment of a Colored district of
the Walther League.
