conference which was held at Tilden, Ala., Novem-
ber 5—9. That it was a conference of mission-
workers is evidenced by some of the subjects treated ;
as for example, “Winning Souls,” “Tow the Church
of Christ is Built,” “Creating Interest for Mission-
work,” and “Getting the Adults to Attend Sunday-
school.” We hope to. bring our readers particulars
of this convention in our next issue.

Mount Zion Scuoot, New Orveans. — The
three teachers of the Mount Zion School are actually
being swamped with pupils. The primary grade has
an enrolment of 142, and there are days when there
are actually 125 present! ‘The two upper grades
are also overcrowded. Attempts to induce those
who can find no room in the Mount Zion School to
go to Bethlehem, where the congestion is not so
great, have proved successful in some instances, but
since the two schools are a considerable distance
apart, some parents find it too far to send their
smaller children.

Our Most Norriuern Necro Cuurcu. — Up
in Michigan we have a small, but flourishing Col-
ored churéh, which was founded by Pastor J. H.
Storm of Free Soil. This congregation was founded
and is being served without any expense to the
Board of Missions. At present Pastor Storm is in-
structing fifteen persons for confirmation.

Lurier Contecr, New Or.eans. — Consider-
able repairs were made on the building of Luther
College during the summer months. The enrolment
had already reached fifty-one at the time of this
writing and is probably greater when this reaches
the reader’s eye.

New Memsers. — Pastor Claus, St. Louis, is
the proud possessor of a young daughter, born Sep-
tember 21, bearing the name of Eunice. — Pastor
Lehman, Charlotte, N. C., on October 4 was pre-
sented with a boy. May God bless these children
and their parents and permit them to enjoy con-
tinued health in body and soul!

AuaBaMa News [rems. — Rev. Eugene R. Ber-
ger recently married Miss Sarah Cannon, of Vreden-
burgh, who rendered the Colored Mission faithful
service as a teacher for four years. Our hearty
congratulations !— ‘Teacher John Thompson is re-
moving to Rosebud, Ala., where he will take charge
of the mission-school. — A “‘I'eachers’ Training-
school” for our Alabama field will have been opened
in Selma by the time these lines reach the reader.
Pastor R. O. L. Lynn will be the teacher. Ten
young ladies have already applied for admission.

For the present the school will be domiciled in a five-
room house that has been rented for the purpose. —
By the transfer of Pastor Lynn from his former
field of labor four congregations have become or-
phaned. Student Gustave Kreft of our St. Louis
Seminary has volunteered to assist Superintendent
G. A. Schmidt in serving these places. — Miss Rosa
J. Young, who has been dangerously ill for several
weeks, is slowly recovering. However, it is not
probable that she will be able to do any teaching for
several months to come.

New Appress. — After November 1, 1922, the
address of the Treasurer for Negro Missions will be
Mr. Ewald Schuettner, 922 Pine St., St. Louis, Mo.

That this book of daily devotions is meeting with
a ready reception is evidenced by the fact that this new
edition is called for in less than two years after the ap-
pearance of the first.’ Each devotion consists of a short
Bible-verse, followed by a brief explanation and one or
several well-chosen hymn verses. The new edition has
been enlarged by the addition of several prayers and in-.
dexes of subjects treated and of Seripture-texts.

New Orders of Worship for Christmas Services:
Christmastide Reveric. In Dulci Jubilo. Concordia
Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price of the for-
mer: 6 cts. each; 60 cts. per dozen; $4.50 per 100.
Price of the latter: Music edition: 15 cts. each;
$1.44 per dozen; word edition: 5 cts. each; 50 cts.
per dozen; $3.50 per 100.

Both orders are very good, but the former is easier
than the more elaborate second program. Of course, Jn
Dulci Jubilo will well repay by its greater beauty the
extra time and work it will require to practise it.

A very desirable form of transfer to be given children
