him the maps, and told him where he could find
reading-matter. ‘These two young men represent
our two theological seminaries, Mr. Schulze being
a student at Springfield, and Mr. Seyer, the supply
at Edmonton, a member of the St. Louis student-
body. If once our future pastors receive systematic
instruction in missions throughout their whole
course, we may be sure that the interest in missions
will grow apace among us!

AtaBAMA.— The Jubilee Collection is being
“boosted” by Superintendent Schmidt in our Ala-
bama field. A bank is to be placed into every home,
if possible, to encourage the people to give for the
purpose. Considerable enthusiasm is already show-
ing itself.

PLAQUEMINE. — Plaquemine has one more Lu-
theran. ‘To Teacher John Thompson and wife there
was born a little daughter, February 14. Mother
and child are doing well. God hold His protecting
hand over parents and child!

Two New Srarions. — Have you read Pastor
Lynn’s facetious remarks on our two new places in
Alabama, Holy Ark and Long Mire? Appeals are
coming to Superintendent Schmidt from a third
place, where the people are getting a place ready
for him to preach in.

Rey. M. Carrer’s Lecturr.—If any of our

pastors should wish to hear a good lecture on our ~

‘Colored Missions by a Colored man, they should ask
Rev. Drewes to send them Rev. M. Carter.

Warner Leacur Missionary Noves. — For
the first time in the history of the Walther League,
Colored delegates attended a convention of the
League, held at Decatur, Il].— At this same con-
vention, the Illinois District of the League pledged
itself to support at least one foreign missionary.
Thus far seven Walther League districts have
pledged themselves to the support of a foreign mis-
sionary.— In Brooklyn a Slovak society has ap-
plied for membership in the Walther League. —
The Metropolitan District of the League has pur-
chased a five-story house to be used as a hospice for
Lutheran travelers and strangers. — Steps have been
taken by a number of students at Chicago Univer-
sity to organize a students’ chapter, the first of its
kind. May this be the beginning of a nation-wide
movement to safeguard the thousands of Lutheran
students at our universities for our Church and
train this splendid body of young men to be future
church-workers. F. J. L.

A Bargain.

A few copies of the late Pastor N. J. Bakke’s books,
Unsere Negermission in Wort und Bild and Our Colored
Mission, Illustrated, are still on hand. These books are
richly illustrated and bring a very readable history of our
Colored Mission from its very beginning. Since the Sy-
nodical Conference will celebrate its golden anniversary
in the near future, these books now have a peculiar in-
terest at the present time, describing, as they do, what
is the chief joint work of this great body of Lutherans.
When first published, the books sold for 50 cents each,
but if they were to be published to-day, they would cost
more. However, as long as the supply lasts, we are will-
ing to send either book postpaid to any address for only
25 cents. State whether you want the English or German
edition, and order from Rev. Theo. IF’. Walther, 6406 Easton
Ave., St. Louis, Mo.
