MISSIONARY NEED
 CANADIAN NORTHWEST
Described at German Lutheran Church = By Rev. Paul Ludwig of Priladei-
 pF1ia. e 'sS@ =

Conditions among the German Lu- theran people of Manitoba, Saskatche- wan and Alberta were interestingly described by Rev. Paul Ludwig of Philadelphia at a meeting Friday ev- ening' at the German Lutheran church, where there was a large congregation to bear his missionary talk. Rev. Mir. Ludwig, who is general secretary of the German home mission board. spoke from first hand knowledge as he had made a three months trip through these th1ee northwestern Canadian provinces On purpose to become ac- quainted with the needs there which have grown so much. he said, since the European war.
 The speaker was introduced by the pastor, Rev. F. P. Werth. Rev. Mir. Ludwig, who spoke in. German. told showed that there were then about 130,0 900 Germans in these three prov inces. The missionary work started s5 years ago with the first church in Winnipeg but has grown so that it now stretches out 800 miles from ftf1e field and some 65 churches. Tt is the aim of the mission board which he represents to provide chuch privileges for this section of Canada and the support for their work largely has to come from the German Lutheran CnuTCHoS III lAS U DIIcu SldlCS dlO the churches in other parts of Cana da than the northwestern territory. Since the war started it has occurred | in some of the cities that Canadians have refused to work in manufacturing plants with Germans and the conse- quences have been that some church es have lost almost their entire con gregatfons as the people have been compelled to go out in the c6untry and live with relatives because they were refused work ffl the cities. This has made the need all the more to send hme1p to the pastors and the churches so weakened by. the loss of their mem- mershiy.
 + He has been visiting the churches of Connecticut during the past two weeks giving the congregations in- formation about the plight of their brethren in the northwest so that the Connecticut church members might intelligently give aid where it is need tSed. F. a.--
 s' Rev MT. Ludwig is the guest of Pastor Werth while here. He is to speak in New Haven on Sunday.
