thing to help.there? I told you in the last letter
that we can pray and give money to this cause.
And your pennies? They will be used to build
churches and schools for those poor people. Will
you help? Remember that every penny means a
nail or a board for a church or a school in the
South.

I am coming out to see you soon. Will you tell
me then what you did for the Negro Missions? The
barrels will be collected the first day of school.

Your teacher,

ReGarvinc the missionary spirit as of the essence
of the spirit of the Gospel, let us, then, cultivate,
cherish, and display it in the labor of love and in
the perseverance of hope. Let us bear in mind that
God is with us in this great work, and that He has
ordained that they that water others shall them-
selves be watered out of the river of life; and that
those who are blessings to others shall be blessed of
God themselves. — Alexander Campbell.

We hail with delight the appearance of this second
volume of Dr. Kretzmann’s Popular Commentary. Here
is a commentary that will satisfy the wants of the pastor
and religious worker in general, and yet the treatment is
such that a person of ordinary education can read it with
profit. A number of brief articles on subjects of special
interest and importance — for instance, Election of Grace,

Sunday, Christian Giving, ete. —are of particular value.

A special subject-index covering the whole New Testa-

ment has been added and will prove a great help to many

readers.

A PLEA.

The Editor recently received the following note from
Superintendent G. A. Schmidt of Alabama: “Kindly put
a plea for school-desks and second-hand sewing-machines
in the next issue of the Pioneer. We want to teach the
girls how to make dresses, patch, sew-on buttons, darn
stockings, ete. A few words about the poverty of the Ne-
groes of Alabama and the great need of teaching this
practical kind of domestic science may bring a number
of machines.”

The Editor can only say that he heartily supports
this plea of Pastor Schmidt, and if his word goes for
anything with his readers, he wishes to use it in telling
them that no better use of second-hand school-desks and
sewing-machines can be made than that of sending them
to Rev. G. A. Schmidt, Selma, Ala. You may rest as-
sured that desks and machines will be put to good use,
and will be of great service in the wonderful work which
Pastor Schmidt and his zealous coworkers are doing in
the “sticks” of Alabama. Ah, yes, the Editor wishes that
all good readers of the Pioneer could realize and appre-
ciate the great good that these devoted laborers are doing
with the limited means at their disposal. He is certain
that, if they but knew half of what is being done by our
mission-workers, the support given them would increase
a hundredfold. Therefore, help, help! Send your old desks
and second-hand sewing-machines, and send them soon/
