of the adults remained together until toward evening, and refreshed themselves bodily with the refreshments which had been presented by some friends of the school, with thanks to the Lord and to the kind givers.

Now may the Lord, the faithful friend of children, as He has promised, dwell also in this place always with His grace, and help that from here also His kingdom may be increased and the kingdom of the wicked, evil enemy diminished. May He bless the dear congregation, which has hitherto shunned no sacrifice for the building up of His kingdom, not only in bodily things for it, but also in grace grant it the joy of beholding rich fruits of the seed which it sowed. This may He do for the sake of His love for sinners and for children. Amen!

Christ dwells in His own through faith.

The ways of the factious spirits concerning faith are vain and godless, who dream that Christ is in us only spiritually, that is, that we only have thoughts of Him and speculate, but that essentially He is above in heaven. But it must be so, that Christ and faith are together not merely in thoughts, but truly, that we are directly with Him in heaven, and that He is, lives and works in us. Now it does not come about by our thoughts and speculation that He is in us, lives and works, but essentially present and in the most powerful manner.

Dr. M. Luther.

Luther and Melanchthon.

Thus Luther himself writes to Melanchthon:

"In my own trials I am weaker than you; but you are stronger than I. Conversely, in the trials which concern whole congregations, you are as I am in my own trials. And I am in common trials, which affect many people, as you are in your own."

How much do these few traits of character give to consider!

"How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow!" Lamentations of Jeremiah 1, 1.

From Neu-Ruppin it is reported: It is very sandy and desolate at the place here. The Union services must at times fall out altogether, because no one (of 10,000 inhabitants) goes into the large churches unless German-Catholic preaching is being done in them, for which they are willingly opened. A small house of God that is wholly unused they would rather let fall into ruin (likewise in Wittstock) than give it to the Lutheran church.

Church Notice.

Whereas Mr. Pastor F. König has received a regular call from the German Ev. Lutheran congregation in Lafayette, Ind., he was installed on the 13th Sunday after Trinity (the 10th of September) by the Rev. Dr. Sihler there.

May the blessing of the LORD rest upon the labor of this new servant of the church!

Inquiry.

Where is Johann Georg Müller? native of Semd, Kreis-Bezirk Dieburg, Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt.

He left Germany last spring, traveling by way of New York to St. Louis. His undersigned uncle wishes to know his place of residence, and therefore begs all friends of humanity who know anything of him to make it known to the office of the "Fröhliche Botschafter."
