there one might do as the apostles did and not wait for a call. For there one has not the office to preach; and one might say: Here are no Christians, I will preach and instruct them in Christianity, and a company should gather together, and choose and call me to be their bishop, then I would have a call."

The former passage Gerhard also cites in his loci theologici, in the locus on the ministry of preaching (§. 73.), to prove that, as regards the necessity of a regular call, a distinction is to be made whether the discussion is of preaching among Christians or among heathen. Moreover every theologian knows that our old divines in the article on the call always carefully and wisely distinguish the ecclesia plantanda (the church yet to be planted) from the ecclesia rite plantata (the church already planted and duly established).

Do not, therefore, ye dear men, who, at the request of your brethren, have sought out the poor heathen in their wildernesses, let yourselves be hindered, by the sophistries of prejudiced brethren, from "forbidding to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved." And ye, dear congregations, do not let yourselves be held back thereby in your zeal of love from supporting the holy and blessed work of heathen missions by your generous gifts. I must here, alas! confess with shame that I, when I was still a Stephanist, also spoke many a word against the godly work of heathen missions; but I praise also at the same time God's mercy, which has let me recognize the falseness of these consequences of an overstrained orthodoxism, which is nothing less than true orthodoxy.

Church News.

After the German Evangelical Lutheran Immanuel's Congregation in Lancaster, O., on the 19th of Oct. 1851, had regularly called Rev. J. P. Kalb in Jefferson City, Mo., as its preacher and pastor, and the same had also accepted the call with the consent of his former congregations, God the LORD so ordered it that, as soon as the congregations of the one named were provided again with a pastor, he could travel hither happily and enter upon his new office on the Ascension Day of our LORD JESUS Christ, the 20th of May of this year. The installation was performed by me by commission of the Presidium. — May God the LORD set this His servant for a blessing to many, according to His rich grace and mercy. —

Although, toward covering our oppressive burden of debt, no contributions at all have yet arrived from the dear brethren and their congregations, I nevertheless take the liberty of calling attention to it once more, how not merely for the sake of the need and of the gift should we show ourselves at all times active to help the member that lacketh, 1 Cor. 12:26, but much rather in order that we and others may thereby be exercised and strengthened in faith. May the Lord incline the hearts according to His good pleasure. Any contributions I request to be addressed to the present pastor of the Lutheran congregation in Lancaster, O., Rev. Kalb. My address remains as before.

Lancaster, O., May 21, 1851.

On Sunday Exaudi, the 23rd of May of this year, Rev. Johann Michael Johannes, formerly pastor of the congregations Housespring and Sulphurspring, Jefferson Co., Mo., was solemnly installed in his new pastoral office at Colecamp, Benton Co., Mo., by his neighbor in office, Rev. Wege of Benton Co. The installation was performed according to the beautiful rite of the Löhe Agende. Since it was the general wish of the congregation to hear the new pastor preach at once, Rev. Wege shortened his address on 2 Cor. 3:7-11 so that Rev. Johannes still had time to deliver a sermon to the congregation. This he did, preaching on James 1:16-21, and gave sufficient testimony from what thorough school he has come forth. His brother in office and the congregations rejoice, with thankful regard to God's providence and the co-operation of the Synod, that a joyful and fruitful ministry is in prospect.
