are attending our school. I am convinced that by
faithful labor we can bring our schools to the point
where they will ‘pay.”” The greatest harvest was
gathered by Mount Zion School in New Orleans
(Pastor O. W. Luecke). During the past two years
more than 200 children were gained for the Church!

Then, again, in other instances the reports are
quite discouraging. There are schools whose non-
Lutheran pupils attend neither the Sunday-school

nor the services, but either go to no church at all’

or attend sectarian services. Now and then they
may attend a Sunday-school session to be sure of
not losing their seats in the mission day-school.
The rule, namely, is this: If the school should have
more pupils than can well be accommodated, prefer-
ence is always given those pupils who attend our
Sunday-school and church services. Whenever the
Board finds that the school does not “pay” as a mis-
sionary agency, it is closed, as was done in Napoleon-
ville and Springfield, or the teaching force is re-
duced, as was done in the case of St. Paul’s, New
Orleans. The money thus saved is used in such
localities where the pupils and their parents better
appreciate our work.
