little contribute to this small house of God. It is indeed well known to us that in these matters the love of the congregations is very often called upon, and we have therefore been reluctant to make this request; yet being persuaded that Christian love does not grow weary, that a small gift does not make one poor, and that our small congregation is much served thereby, we have ventured to ask our dear fellow-believers for a small assistance. The Lord, our God, from whom all good and perfect gifts come, will crown also this work of love with his blessing, for his Word stands immovably fast: "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

The Elders of the Congregation:
J. Bernreuther, Pastor.
H. Fries,
J. Kiefer,
Ph. Dielman.

Contributions, we request, are to be sent to
Rev. J. Bernreuther,

Great Lords, Great Sinners.

When Bogislav, Duke of Pomerania, traveled through Wittenberg in the year 1523 and had heard Luther preach here, he went after the sermon to Luther and made the request of him: "Reverend Father, I should like very gladly to confess to you." Luther answered: "Yes, indeed, it can be done; but Your Princely Grace is a great lord to me: and will also, without doubt, be a great sinner." Far from this frankness of the faithful servant displeasing the Duke, the latter rather answered: "Yes, that is certainly true."

A Short Biography.

The well-known godly and anointed preacher Georg Conrad Rieger wrote his own biography himself. But after he had related a little of his youth and given a short account of his family circumstances, he finally adds:

My whole course of life stands in that little saying:

I am a poor sinner.

And the last tidings of me shall be these: JESUS Christ hath made him blessed!"

A Word for Those Weary of Office.

To speak for myself, I should wish to hear no more welcome message than that which deposes me from the preaching office; I am indeed so weary of it, of the great ingratitude among the people, but much more of the intolerable burden which the devil and the world lay upon me. But the poor souls will not; and there is also a Man, who is called JESUS Christ, who says No to it; Him I rightly follow, as One who has deserved much more of me.
