The Lutheran Pioneer.

Schmidt, “to do their bit in gathering the Jubilee
Fund.” The editor is sorry that space forbids him
in bringing copies of the appeals which Pastor
Schmidt has sent out to our Colored members
in Alabama. At last reports these poor Colored
churches in Alabama expected to reach the $750
mark with their Easter offerings for the Fund!

Pror. G. Mrzcrr. — We are sorry to hear that
at this writing the venerable Chairman of the Board
for Colored Missions is at the Lutheran Hospital
in St. Louis, where he recently underwent several
operations. May God hold His protecting hand
over him and soon enable him to take up again
his labors in the lecture-room and in the Board
meetings !

Pror. TH. GrarBNrr. — When we heard a few
weeks ago that Professor Graebner felt himself com-
pelled to retire from the Board because other duties
demanded his whole attention, we wished and
prayed that ways and means might be found to
make it possible for him to withdraw his resigna-
tion. It now seems that God has heard our prayers
and that this valuable member of the Board may
find it feasible to continue on the Board. We are
happy!

GENERAL CONFERENCE or CoLorED Mission
Workers. — This important gathering has been
postponed to June 14—18. May the Lord enable
many of the workers to attend this important meet-
ing and bless the sessions a hundredfold!

Tuer Mission Treasury. — There is a deficit
of over $2,000 in the current expense fund, and
May, June, and July, the three “leanest”” months
‘of the year, are ahead. We earnestly hope that our
friends’ interest in the Jubilee collection will not
let them forget this current expense fund, out of
which the salaries of the workers are paid!

BarrELs AND ENvELorEs. — Director Drewes
reports that numerous requests for barrels and en-
velopes, also for circulars, are being received at his
office. The supply of circulars is exhausted just at
present, but a new supply will probably be ready in
a short time. Barrels and envelopes are inex-
haustible ! F. J. L.

A Most Appropriate Mission Box.
To meet a real demand, we offer this splendid Mission
30x to our readers, fully convineed that we are in a posi-
tion to offer them a mission box that is bound to draw
the attention of old and young at a price that is remark-
ably low. This little Colored solicitor for missionary gifts
can be appropriately placed in the church, the school, the
Sunday-school, the society hall, or the home. We are sure
that this collection device will increase the donations for
missions, since it is a standing appeal to every one that
sees it not to forget the great work of spreading the Gos-
pel. Many a nickel and dime will find its way into the

mission treasury that would be lost to the cause, were it
not for the silent, but insistent appeal of this little kneel-
ing Negro boy in his white garment, who gratefully and
most politely acknowledges even the smallest gift by a nod
of his shapely head. Size, 5<7><11 inches. Price, $2.50,
plus 15 cents for postage. Order from Mr. Ewald Schuett-
ner, 323 Merchants-Laclede Building, St. Louis, Mo.
