Church News.

Right Reverend Vice-President!

I take the liberty of communicating to you and to the readers of the "Lutheraner" the following church news:

Pastor E. A. Schürmann, who formerly served the German Evangelical Lutheran congregation at Huntersville, in Franklin County, Ind., but had to leave it at the beginning of this year for conscience' sake, because, in spite of all instruction and admonition, it would not consent to call him in proper order, has at last been put into official activity again, in that the German Evangelical Lutheran congregation at Hancock County, Ind., has properly called him as its shepherd and pastor. He was then, on the Wednesday after the eighth Sunday after Trinity, that is on the 13th of August, publicly and solemnly installed by me in his new congregation, for which Professor A. Crämer had granted me the authority in your name.

The LORD give to the newly called brother grace to feed the flock of Christ entrusted to him carefully and fruitfully, and to win one victory after another, to the praise of His holy name. Amen.

The present address of the dear brother is:

Rev. E. A. Schuermann,
Care of Rev. Chas. Fricke,
Indianapolis, Ja.

Respectfully yours,
Carl Fricke.
Indianapolis, Ind., the 15th of August, 1851.

Whereas Pastor Schwan, hitherto in the service of the German Lutheran congregation at New Bielefeld, St. Louis Co., Mo., had received a call from the Lutheran congregation at Cleveland, O., and had accepted it with the consent of his former congregation, Mr. Georg Link, from Middle Franconia, until now a pupil of the seminary at Fort Wayne, was called by it as its pastor. After he had well passed the prescribed examination, he was ordained by the Vice-President, with the assistance of Pastor Fick, on the Thursday after the 10th Sunday after Trinity (the 28th of August), in the midst of his congregation, according to church usage.

The LORD be pleased to grant this His servant grace and strength to replace, as far as possible, for the dear congregation what it has given up in the willing, though painful, parting from its former pastor, since after proper explanation it finally gained the inner conviction that Pastor Schwan, in his new and larger field of labor, according to the gifts given him by God, could by the grace of the LORD work still more for the "common good." —

Whereas the two delegates of our Synod to Germany, Professor Walther and Pastor Wyneken, whose departure was delayed some weeks by the illness of the former, according to a letter received on the 1st of this month, intended to sail from New York on the 27th of last month, the dear brethren in office are hereby reminded to include their persons and our and their undertaking in the public church prayer every Sunday. May the gracious and merciful God conduct them safely across and back again under the protection of His holy angels, and also by their testimony maintain and strengthen "the unity of the Spirit" between the brethren on the other side and us, and bring them back into our midst, sound and safe, with glad tidings of such blessing.

Receipt and Thanks.

For this notable support we thank heartily, and wish the kind givers God's grace and rich blessing in time and eternity, Amen!
Anton Daniel Stecher.
Pastor.
