tem of lighting and ventilating cannot be claimed
for the old shack. Of course, this little temple of
learning costs our Mission only $4 a month rent.
On Sundays services and Sunday-school are held
here too. Despite these most unfavorable condi-
tions our Selma mission is showing signs of growth.
How that active little band would grow if we could
only give them a decent church and school! ‘Send
us men and money,’ was Superintendent Schmidt’s
parting word to me, ‘and we will do the work.’ He
is a heroic worker a} the head of a heroic band of
workers down there in the Black Belt of Alabama.
May our Christians hold up the arms of the little
band by praying and paying!” (From a letter by
Director Drewes.) F.J.L.

Go and Do Likewise.

From Delano, Minn., little Lacorda Schimmel-
pfennig sent the sum of $26.85 to Treasurer Ewald
Schuettner, 922 Pine St., St. Louis, Mo., for Colored
Missions. This little friend of our Missions sold
various articles that she had gathered from friends,
and the above sum represents the result of her sales.
Besides, she also solicited subscriptions for the Pr1o-
NEER and succeeded in getting three new sub-
scribers. We are convinced when the friends of
little Lacorda learn of the wonderful success of her
venture in the interest of our Colored Missions, they
will share with her the gratification that comes to
those whose labors God crowns with success. May
Lacorda’s example be emulated by other little girls
among us!

-And here is another gratifying bit of news.
A few days ago a good friend wrote us among other
things that were good to read also this: “Can you
suggest to me some Negro mission-station that
might use about sixty hymn-books (A. l. P. B.) ?”
But that wasn’t all he asked. His letter had even
a more welcome question. Here it is: “A member
has been contributing $25 per quarter for missions.
Perhaps you know where such a sum would be an
immediate aid in the Negro Missions.”

TIsn’t that fine! ‘Twenty-five dollars every quar-
ter for missions! One hundred dollars a year! God
bless the kind friend of missions and awaken others
to follow in his footsteps!

At the last convention of the Synodical Con- -

ference the wish ,.was expressed that the PIoNEER
might from time to time tell its readers of different

methods by which moneys for missions might be -
raised. Little Lacorda,shows us two ways to do it,
and my friend in his letter tells us of two other
ways. Let us go and do likewise. F.J. 1.
