Papistic Meritorious Good Works.

Fr. Toletus writes: "A simple person can merit something by believing his bishop, even when the same propounds a heresy." (Instruct. Sac. 1. 4. c. 3.) This Jesuit follows herein Angelus de Clavasio, who writes: "An error can sometimes be meritorious. If, for example, someone heard a famous preacher or bishop preach an error and in his simplicity believed it, in the intention of obedience of faith, being nevertheless ready to be taught better. For works are judged according to the intention. Sometimes it is at least only a venial sin, as when, for example, an old woman believes that the Holy Trinity is a woman, and indeed if she so believes because she thinks the church holds so. And yet she is not heretical, because she believes with this condition."

A Bad Preacher in a Fine Church.

When Elector John Frederick, together with Duke George, had been in the fine Annaberg church, where the papist Zeidler had preached, the Duke asked the Elector how the church had pleased him. He answered: "The house is fine, but the bird in it sings nothing good." When the church fell to the Lutherans, there was afterward written over the entrance to the pulpit, besides the text Is. 58, 1, the following verse:

Seek God's honor,
And nothing else besides;
Teach thy neighbor,
Turn to nothing else thyself.

Reverend Mr. President!

I herewith report to you that on the 7th of this month, being Sunday Jubilate, I installed Mr. P. Sievers of Frankenlust at his second filial congregation at Lower Saginaw. The gracious God, who also in this place has chosen for himself a small congregation of pure confession, be pleased to keep the same in building, that it may become a blessing to many.

With hearty greeting
Your obedient
D. Clöter.

In the German bookstore of Schaefer & Koradi in Philadelphia there has just appeared:

Lutherophilus.

Old and New for the Promotion of a Fruitful Study of Theology, edited by Pastor E. G. W. Keyl in Baltimore.

1st number 20 Cts.

From the numerous inquiries even before the appearance of this first number we are convinced that the widely known and esteemed author in this exposition of the most fruitful study of the pure Lutheran doctrine meets long-cherished wishes in nearer and wider circles in the most welcome manner, wherefore we already beforehand consider ourselves assured of the most active promotion of it on the part of his brother officers. By a cheaper wholesale price we shall gratefully acknowledge your efforts for the widest possible circulation, and we hope, through a quite favorable success, to see the appearance of further numbers made possible shortly. — For orders of every kind in all branches of German literature, especially in the field of theology, at firm, lowest prices, we at the same time recommend ourselves most heartily
