all things well! Though I do not know even now what His intention in it is, yet I shall learn it afterward. To the Lord be praise and thanks for everything; for joy and delight, as for pain and tribulation. May He give me only stillness and patience, faithfulness in faith and steadfastness in hope, and all things will work together for my good!

The other brethren are also all well, and with the exception of Br. Kremmer are all married. Br. Cordes has by his first marriage three children, two sons, who are now in Germany, and a daughter; and by his second marriage a little daughter. Br. Ochs has two little boys; Br. Wolff a little daughter; and to Br. Appelt there was born in these days a little daughter.

Now greet the dear brethren all most heartily from me and from the brethren here. Remember us in your prayers; keep us in your love! — But may the Lord Himself carry out His work among us and through us, may He let His Church be built up upon her one most holy foundation, may He let His kingdom come with power, and let us see the dawn of that glorious day for which all His children long from the heart! — If thou, dear brother, canst gain time, then gladden me soon again with tidings from your America. There is surely a special stir among you; therefore thou wilt also always find matter to communicate to us something of the deeds and blessings of the Lord. — How fine it would be if you could send us your church news. The postage would not cost much, and would gladly be borne by us.

Now I commend myself, together with the whole mission, to thy further love and intercession, and remain, with hearty greetings to thee and thy dear ones,

Thy faithful brother in the Lord,
J. M. N. Schwarz.

P. S. Unforeseen events, especially a journey which I had to make to the west, have delayed the sending of this letter, on account of which thou receivest it some months later than was intended.

In hearty love,
Thy J. M. N. Schwarz.

A Question.

In number 20 of this year's "Lutheraner" Prof. Lehmann cast a multitude of accusations upon Dr. Sihler, which the latter, as the dear reader knows, refuted in the very same number. Among these accusations there is one which moves me to address an open question to Prof. Lehmann. The Professor, namely, in the said number accuses Dr. Sihler also of slander. Although Dr. Sihler has already answered this also, I cannot refrain from asking Prof. Lehmann: whether my letter addressed to Pastor Spielmann contains nothing more than a "plain declaration"? Is it not already shown in this letter in what manner the error came about? and indeed shown just as was found later in the "Berichtigung" by Dr. Sihler. Why would the Professor see and know nothing of this? The letter mentioned gave him information about the matter; but he shut his eyes and heart, in order to be able to accuse Dr. Sihler of slander. Against better knowledge and conscience he spoke evil against his neighbour. That Prof. Lehmann has thereby made himself guilty of slander before all the world is, alas, only too clear.

Church Notice.

Whereas Mr. Johann Martin Quast, hitherto a pupil in the Fort Wayne seminary, has received a regular call from the German Evangelical Lutheran congregation of the Unaltered Augsburg Confession in Lafayette Co., Mo., he was ordained and installed on Maundy Thursday by Pastor Franke in the midst of his congregation.

Right Reverend Professor,

Since Pastor Hoffmann at Schaumburg was compelled by reason of illness to lay down his office, the congregation there has regularly called Pastor Volckert, and he was, by commission of the President, Mr. F. Wyneken, inducted into his office by the undersigned on the second holy day of Pentecost. May the faithful, merciful God, who sends the labourers into His harvest, and according to His wonderful counsel calls them out again, protect dear Brother Hoffmann on his further ways, and grant to the planting and watering of Brother Volckert His divine blessing, that in Schaumburg more and more a lovely garden of God may bloom.

With high esteem,
H. Kühn.
