ning zeal for the honor of his Lord and God. He was severe against what he recognized as evil, and though he may have erred in the manner of treating certain cases, yet there is no doubt that he followed his knowledge and his conscience. His end testified plainly that no carnal passion had ruled in him, but that he had rather acted according to his best knowledge and conscience, even at the risk of the most painful misjudgment to himself. He had upon his sickbed the sweetest and most blessed peace, and waited from hour to hour for the call of his Savior, whom he had laid hold of in faith. He rejoiced in the blessed state of being freed from all misery of sin, of beholding his God and Savior and of living in the fair heaven. On his last day he declared quite early in the morning: "today the dear Lord will fetch me home altogether." And when his friends and his faithful church-children, who clung to him with heartfelt attachment and did not leave his bed day and night, were saddened on that account, he exhorted them not to be sad, but to rejoice with him that he might so soon enter into blessedness. He had the 5th and 8th chapters of the Epistle to the Romans read to him as his breakfast, as he said. And though he afterward became very weak and could no longer speak during the last hours, yet his eye beamed with special joy when his departure was spoken of and prayed for.

To his church-children the days of the sickness of their beloved pastor will remain unforgettable; they will be constrained to take to themselves in earnest and to apply the exhortation of Heb. 13, 7.: "Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God, whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation."

However many bitter experiences the departed one had to undergo in his ministry, they did not pain him in death, and will now be richly rewarded by the Lord, who surely will have received also this His faithful servant with the word: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things; I will make thee ruler over many things, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." —

Wisdom of Simplicity.

Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us (2 Timoth. 1, 13. 14).

A woman in Austria had on a Thursday in Lent cooked a liver, and indeed with the express permission of the parish priest. Through the cunning of the second clergyman, who feigned himself sick, and in passing by asked for a warm soup, she was brought under investigation, and after much dragging back and forth from one prison to another, from one court to another, she was at last torn away from husband and children, and transported to Transylvania. She gave thereby proofs of a thorough knowledge and of a heroic faith. To the question why she had transgressed the commandment of fasting, she answered that otherwise the gift of God would have spoiled in the warm season. When it was replied to her that she should rather have thrown it upon the dunghill, she answered: "The Lord has said: "Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost" (John 6, 12); and again: "That which goeth into the mouth defileth not a man" (Matth. 15, 11). To the question: "What do you believe of the Pope?" she confessed freely: "I believe that he is a sinful man, like me."—They announced to her that she would be carried away and scourged, and would have to draw the plow. She said: "In God's name, it is all right with me; the disciple shall not have it better than his Master." (Wölbing's christliche Geschichten.)
