Yet ever she rises to new victories,
The sublime Queen of Heaven.
Loudly she cries in all lands,
And preaches to all, near and far:
"There remaineth yet a rest;
Up! enter into the kingdom of the Lord!"
And many hear her words,
And to many they go through the heart;
They strive after the strait gate,
And press believingly heavenward.
So ever new throngs come,
And say: "False world, adieu!
We will sail with Christ's little ship
To Paradise, across the sea."
And though a thousand thunders crash,
And many a reef threateningly looms:—
The eyes of the eternal Keeper watch,
And never sinks His holy ship.
And though all storms have struck it,
And though the dreadful tempest-wind has smitten it:
Yet it brings safely into the harbor
Those whom it bore in its bosom.
Countless ones have already landed,
And rest in proud security,
Where no sea-billow breaks,
And where is no more death and no strife.
Therefore be comforted, dear brethren!
Hope sings with sweet tone:
Harp-notes come rushing down;—
How near is the coast already!
How brightly all the stars shine!
Already the air of Paradise refreshes us,
And lovely gleams in the distance
Jerusalem in the morning mist.
Already we taste with blessed rapture
The powers of the world to come;
Soon we shall behold the sun of heaven,
When our anchor at last falls.
Therefore be comforted!—soon it will resound
With loud shout of jubilee: Land!
Soon we shall walk to the shore
With tears of joy, hand in hand.

Der Amerikanische Botschafter.

In the number of the "Lutheran Observer" of the 9th of July of this year we find a communication in which the ever coarser fraud of which the American Tract Society is guilty is censured. The writer shows how the committee appointed by the Society for the publication of writings falsifies almost all the books which it publishes, in favor of the Anabaptist errors, by omissions, additions, alterations, etc. Then it is said further in the article: "The German editor of the Publication Committee is a Mr. Rauschenbusch, a German and a Baptist. He is also editor of the 'Amerikanischen Botschafter,' a periodical which our Lutheran pastors will hopefully in future at least no longer recommend to their people, for this periodical will without doubt likewise be used in a crafty manner as a means to put in circulation the peculiar and unscriptural views of the sect of the Baptists." Since this censure and warning is found even in a paper such as the "Lutheran Observer," which itself bears only the name "Lutheran," but is edited according to unionistic principles, the reader may well imagine how shamefully the Baptists may abuse the influence which they have known how to gain over the editing of the writings that are issued at the expense of the Tract Society. Let each one, therefore, be herewith once more earnestly warned against their writings and against their paper, the so-called "Amerikanischen Botschafter." May especially every preacher who calls himself Lutheran recognize how irresponsibly and how unfaithfully to his church he has acted, if he has been thoughtless enough to put into the hands of the souls entrusted to him the paper filled with secret and open poison of false doctrine.
