Mr. Ludwig might apply his fine gifts to remedying the need of a political newspaper watched over by a Christian spirit. Mr. L. knows indeed better than we that at present not a single German political paper is published in America which a Christian can read without defiling himself, yes, perhaps not one which even a merely decent person could read without blushing and indignation. None such is known to us, for as far as we know the "Zuschauer am Potomac" also has ceased publication again.

Testimony in Defense.

In No. 5 of this volume, page 38, there is a report in which Mr. P. Meißner and seven members of a Lutheran congregation severely accuse Mr. P. Braasch. Against this accusation the latter sent, already some time ago, a judicial testimony for his vindication and for publication in the "Lutheraner." This testimony was unfortunately mislaid by us, and has only now come into our hands again; therefore we give it to the public only now. Mr. P. Braasch will kindly excuse this delay, not intended by us.

Clarion County.

On Friday, the 13th of September, 1850, there appeared personally before me, the undersigned, a justice of the peace in the said county and for the same, Wilhelmine Braasch, and stated upon her solemn oath that her husband, J. E. W. Braasch, has never in any way treated her badly. On the contrary, she often gave him occasion to grieve, and for that reason also often asked his forgiveness; nor was he the cause of her leaving him in the year 1847, but she went from him without any reason at all.

Professor Lehmann's

Reply to the "Denkwürdigkeiten aus der letzten Versammlung der West-Ohio-Synode" which appeared in the "Lutheraner" we intend to communicate in the next number, although for the Professor's own sake it grieves us to be compelled to do so on account of the appearance of injustice, which we should otherwise incur.

God's Omnipotence.

God can do all things, save only that which to be able to do is not a sign of power but of weakness, and which, if he could do it, would not leave him almighty, such as dying, being deceived, erring, sinning.

Church Notice.

Whereas Pastor Ottomar Fürbringer, who formerly served the Lutheran congregation in Elkhorn Prairie, Washington Co., Ills., has followed the call extended to him by the Lutheran congregations in Freistadt and Kirchhain near Milwaukie, Wisc., he was installed in his office on Sunday Judica by Mr. P. Lochner, who had provisionally served these congregations also.

The German Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio and other States

will hold its sessions this year in Milwaukie, Wisc., from the Wednesday after Trinity, the 18th of June, until the 28th of the same month inclusive.

At the landing place there a man from the congregation of Mr. P. Lochner will always be found to conduct the arriving synodical delegates to their place; should he, however, happen not to be there, they are requested to call at the apothecary shop of Mr. Tesch, opposite the American House.
