gentlemen will almost always find a fitting answer to their accusations raised against us in the writings in which the old Lutheran theologians defend our Church against the attacks of the papists, of the Jesuits in particular. Here also, however, the saying holds: There is no new thing under the sun.

Notice concerning Herr Pastor Grabau.

Shortly before the close of the present number there reaches us the number of the Grabauian "Informatorium" of the 1st inst. The above-named contends therein, for easily comprehensible reasons, for the necessary fear even of an unjust ban, as pro aris focisque, that is, as for hearth and home. In order to be successful in this, he first muddies the water, as usual, in order then to cast his nets in the next number and to catch careless, ignorant fish. In due time we shall make the water clear again, and shall not fear the unjust and presumptuous thunderbolt of the severe gentleman, which he hereupon hurls against us with the words: "The Lord rebuke thee, thou Satan!" No good Protestant is frightened by it; indeed, he must hear this curse every Maundy Thursday from the mouth of the head of the "holy Church" at Rome, that is, of the ecclesia malignantium, in German, the Church of the Wicked, against himself.

At the same time we receive the news that Herr Pastor Grabau has rejected the proposal of our Synod to accept an oral conference between some from our midst and some on his side, for a possible union that might yet be brought about. — Well then, let it be as Herr Pastor Grabau will have it and no otherwise! Because we have hitherto always been unwilling to give up the hope that Herr Pastor Grabau errs dangerously and does wrong only from weakness, but wills what is good, we have hitherto spared him as far as possible; this consideration has now lost all ground. From now on we shall therefore speak with this man in another tone, and for the sake of the honor of God and of his Word, confessed by us, shall unsparingly uncover what we would so gladly have covered. But upon Herr Pastor Grabau's head will fall the offense that may arise therefrom.

We know well that there are many readers who by no means wish to read anything of the disputes pending between us and Pastor Grabau's faction. But we shall prove to them that it is not only the calling of our "Lutheraner" to bring this matter to light, but that it would also act irresponsibly toward its own readers if it were unwilling to illumine this important matter, which has become the question of the day, with God's Word in the "Lutheraner." Moreover, we promise that we shall treat only matters of doctrine in the "Lutheraner," but for the communication of the offensive stories concerning the practice of Herr Pastor Grabau and his adherents shall provide a supplement, in order that our dear "Lutheraner" may not even acquire the appearance of a resemblance to the dear "Informatorium," which is adorned for the most part with scandalous and, as shall be shown in due time, much distorted stories, indeed, veritable old wives' fables, and yet bears the name: "Kirchliches Informatorium."

Correction.

The prices of the books listed below, which were incorrectly given in the book notice of Messrs. Orff and Schwegmann in Fort Wayne contained in No. 21 of the "Lutheraner," (in that they were stated in the manner of shillings, which is as little customary here, either in payments or otherwise, as it is known in its designations) are hereby added as corrections.
