The Lutheran Pioneer.

A New Worker 1n Nort Canonina. — Im-
manuel College has a new teacher in the person
of Prof. Wm. H. Kampschmidt, formerly of  Wa-
dena, Minn. Professor Kampschmidt is the suc-
cessor of Prof. Enno Schuelke, who accepted a call
to Philadelphia. ‘The new worker was inducted
into his office at the beginning of the new school-
year. God bless his labors!

Sr. Lours, Mo. — Rev. A. Kreyling, of Fords,
N.J., who was called to open a mission in the
northwest end of St. Louis, has declined the Call.
—The enrolment of our Grace Mission day-school
has reached 123. The school is taught by Pastor
Kroenk, the pastor’s wife, and Miss Phyllis Jones.

A DisapporintMENT. — Rev. A. Hardt, of Mil-
waukee, was called to a professorship at Immanuel
Lutheran College, Greensboro, N.C. However, at
the request of his congregation, which could not see
the greater importance of the office to which he was
called, he declined the call. We are very sorry at
this turn of events, for we are sure that our young
brother would have been a power for good in our
Colored Missions.

A TransFER. — Pastor E. R. Berger, who for-
* merly had two stations in Alabama, was installed
at Alexandria, La., on September 14, by Rev. G. M.
Kramer. The service was attended by a large num-
ber of people, and the miserable shack, which serves
as a place of worship, was filled to overflowing.
That it was time to give Alexandria its own pastor
can easily be seen from the fact that when the school
was opened on the morning following the installa-
tion, not less than fifty pupils reported, and in less
than a month this number had already increased to
seventy-five. Children have to be turned away for
lack of room. We surely hope that the boys and
girls of the English District, to whom the building
at Alexandria has been assigned, will prove real
“live wires,” so that a combined chapel and school
can soon be erected.

_ Luter Cortrcr, New Oreans. — Prof. H.
Meibohm, for a number of years Director of Luther
College, has accepted the call to a professorship at
Northwestern College, Watertown, Wis. Professor

Mcibohm is a graduate of the institution and will
for this reason not enter into strange surroundings.
May God bless his work in the new office abun-
_ dantly! — Just before Professor Meibohm left New
Orleans, where he had worked so faithfully since
‘the fall of 1911, he was able to celebrate his twenty-
| fifth anniversary in the ministry.

Cincinnati, O. — Miss Eliza Johnston, of
Charlotte, N.C., has been sent to Cincinnati. She
opened a Sunday-school with nineteen children and
has probably opened a day-school by this time. Our
readers will remember that the white Lutherans of
our churches in Cincinnati presented the Board
with a fine plant in which to conduct a school and
services for the Negroes of their city.

Prnsacoua, I'La. — Pastor Schink, the young
missionary recently installed in Mobile, will make
regular visits to Pensacola, Fla., where we already
have several members, and as much as the time at
his disposal will permit him to do so, he will explore
the field for future work.

New Starions Openep. — Pastors Westcott,
Peay, and Schmidt have each recently opened a new
mission-station at Camden, Hamburg, and Rock
West, Ala., respectively. This will mean three more
chapels and schools. Let us be up and doing; for
it is the Lord who is calling us away from all
loitering. The King’s business demands haste!

SELMA TRAINING-SCHOOL. — Among the stu-
dents at this institution are five young men who
have the ministry in view. The total enrolment of
the school is twenty-five, all of whom intend to
serve the Church as ministers or teachers. There
is a crying need here for the new buildings which
have been voted for the institution by the Synodical
Conference.

Sparranbure, 8. C.— News comes from Win-
ston-Salem, N. C., that Rev. John W. Fuller, of
Spartanburg, S. C., was married to Miss Vesta
Pearl Windsor, of Greensboro, on September 9, by
Rev. J. A. Hunt at the home of the bride’s sister,

Mrs. Huffman, and in the presence of a large gather-
ing of relatives and friends. A delicious dinner was
served the bridal party by Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Holly, after which the newly married couple left for
Spartanburg, where Mrs. Fuller efficiently assists
her husband in the flourishing mission day-school,
which has a third teacher in the person of Mr. John
Lee McDowell. God bless Rev. and Mrs. Fuller and
grant them many tokens of His good will!
