Earnestness against False Teachers
Gloriously Sealed by God.

The Wittenberg theological faculty relates in an opinion of the year 1650 the following remarkable case: "In the Royal City of Danzig a Calvinist preacher was to be admitted, by the edict of the magistracy, to the Lutheran pulpit together with a Lutheran. The latter exhorted the congregation to pray with a moving sermon and fell down with them upon his knees. They prayed and cried to God. What happened? When the Calvinist was to preach the first sermon, God smote him so that he died suddenly the night before, and the church, since men saw God's judgment, was left wholly to the Lutheran exercise. The prayer of the righteous (rather of a whole congregation) availeth much, if it be earnest, says St. James 5:16." (Cons. th. Witebergensia, that is, spiritual counsels. I, 495.) This will sound not a little strange to many, even among Lutherans, but why? Because earnestness against false doctrine and false teachers has almost entirely vanished in our Laodicean time and indifference toward the truth has taken its place. Now men are so far removed from praying against it, that no heretic may enter a Lutheran pulpit, that they rather ask such in broad-hearted pretended love to do so. Upon this pretended love, alas, not only the whole Unionist-Evangelical Church but also the so-called American-Lutheran Church of the General Synod is built.

Church News.

On the fourth Sunday after Epiphany, after the removal of Pastor Heid to the Ev. Luth. congregation at Pomeroy, O., Pastor G. Reichhart was installed as his successor in the Ev. Luth. congregation at Greenville, O., by Pastor Heid, by commission of the Rev. Vice-President Dr. Sihler. May our Chief Shepherd Jesus Christ grant him right faithfulness, patience and joyfulness of faith. Amen.

Right Reverend Mr. President!

I hereby most respectfully report to you that, after Pastor P. Heid of Greenville, O., received a call from the Lutheran St. Paul's congregation in Pomeroy and accepted it with the consent of his congregation, he was installed in his new office by me, by commission of the Rev. Vice-President, on Sunday Reminiscere.

May the dear Lord Jesus Christ bless our brother with his dear congregation to the honor of His name. Amen.

With high regard, yours
H. Wichmann.
