pleasure; the most precious adornment He has with grace and mercy placed within it, the pure doctrine of our Lutheran Confession. — So rejoice now with us, all of you. We have also received, as the lower room of the church-house, a spacious, bright school-room, in which the school work, to be sure, goes better than in the former dull ground floor. The place lies, moreover, in the center of Southwark and will, it is hoped, draw ever more of the many Germans living here, children and adults, to the Word of God. God has truly made us a beautiful Christmas present. But you brethren in the faith, pray diligently for us now, that God may uphold His congregation in the building also in this city, and help us as faithful servants of God, that we may carry out the work begun. God bless all who help thereto — Praised be God in eternity! Amen.

To the honored recipients of a circular recently issued by us we communicate the news that, although Pastor Fleischmann has departed from our midst, in that weighty reasons determined him to accept a call as pastor of a Lutheran congregation, we nevertheless are by no means minded to abandon the undertaking in question, but, if the Lord will, shall continue it, though on a smaller scale. The communications requested in our circular we ask the dear members of our Synod to send hither as soon as possible.

Ecclesiastical Intelligence.

Whereas the two congregations served jointly by the undersigned: the Evangelical Lutheran St. Peter's Congregation at Scott and the Evangelical Lutheran St. Paul's Congregation at Germany, Vanderburgh Co., Ind., had duly called the Rev. Pastor A. Weyel of Frankfurt, Ill., and he, with the consent of his former congregation, had accepted this call, he was, under commission of the Vice-President, the Rev. Dr. Sihler, on the 23rd Sunday after Trinity inducted in the first congregation, which henceforth is called the Evangelical Lutheran Trinity Congregation, and on the 24th Sunday after Trinity in the St. Paul's Congregation. At the same time, with the induction in the first congregation, its newly built, beautiful Trinity Church, with the newly laid-out God's-acre surrounding it, was dedicated. The more faithfully the two congregations had been preserved and kept hitherto, in the manifold conflicts without and within, by the grace of the Arch-Shepherd and Bishop of our souls, the more thankfully did they greet these days so joyful to them, which brought also numerous fellow-believers from abroad as participants. May the faithful God grant further blessing, and let the labor of the new shepherd bear fruit among both flocks unto life eternal.

The address of this dear brother is:
Revd. A. Weyel,
Evansville, Ia.
A. Saupert, Pastor.

On December 20, 1852, the candidate called as pastor by the German Evangelical Lutheran Congregation at Pekin, Ill., Mr. H. Mattfeld of Hamburg, was ordained, after a colloquy held, by the President of the Synod, with the assistance of the Rev. Pastor Fick, in the Ev. Luth. Trinity Church at St. Louis.

May the blessing of the Lord rest richly upon the dear congregation and its shepherd.
