that the flourishing Evangelical Lutheran Missionary Institution at Dresden-Leipzig, and the mission (through Pastor Löhe near Nuremberg) among the wild Indians in North America and the neglected emigrants there, will find loving toleration, and then also recognition and support. To open the way for Evangelical Lutheran mission, should this become suspect? Not to give oneself up, but to cherish oneself, does this mean to kill others? There is still room... and whoever is Evangelical Lutheran according to the confession, is so soon also in the mission. Souls who love the Evangelical Lutheran Church also gladly plant it, through the Evangelical Lutheran mission, among the heathen, as a lighthouse in the sea of sects of the last times. They wish the Reformed and mixed missions every possible blessing; but they know that these can neither build nor spread the Evangelical Lutheran Church: what one is not, one cannot impart either; Reformed church founds Reformed church; Evangelical mixed (united) mission founds a mixed church or sect; Evangelical Lutheran mission spreads Evangelical Lutheran church. — For brotherly support, for the spread of pure knowledge of Scripture through the printing of writings serving that end, for the awakening to a Christian life of faith toward inner and outer missionary activity in a sincerely Evangelical Lutheran direction, gifts, offered out of free love, are received by Pastor Horning, Blauwolkengasse, 13, at Strasburg." The proceeds of the tracts sold are destined partly for the Leipzig-Dresden (East Indian) mission, partly for the Lutheran-American mission among the emigrants as among the Indians.

That the reader may gain closer insight into the contents of the Lutheran tracts recently circulated from Strasburg, we give the following titles of them: 1. Warum bekenne ich mich zur evangelisch-lutherischen Kirche?*) as an answer, first, to the destruction of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Augsburg Confession demanded by Montbéliard pastors; and secondly, to the assertion set up by other pastors that the ancient Evangelical Lutheran faith and the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ have "passed away." 2. Nothwehrpredigt über Offenb. 3, 11.: "Halte, was du hast," namely, thou Lutheran Church, hold the Word in confession, doctrine, and life; hold thy missionary calling; keep also thy reproach. A sermon "held in the church of Young St. Peter in Strasburg, after it was demanded by Montbéliard pastors that the confession of the Reformation, the good confession (Augsburg Confession), which our fathers made amid much sacrifice of prayers, tears, and blood, should be thrown under the bench." 3. Unterscheidungsartikel der evangelisch-lutherischen und der reformirten Kirchen. (Being the Saxon Visitation Articles of 1592.) 4. Des evangelisch-lutherischen Christen Glaube, Kirche und Mission. 5. Offene Erklärung eines Laien gegen die Union der evangelisch-lutherischen Kirche mit den Reformirten. 6. Ist eine Vereinigung evangelisch-lutherischer und reformirter Kirchen zu machen? 7. Die Augsburger Confession, der Augapfel der evangelisch-lutherischen Kirche, und ein Dorn im Auge ihrer Feinde. On the occasion of the appointment of a commission which was to occupy itself with the question of a so-called union church. 8. Luthers Stimme gegen die falsch-evangelische Liebe, welche der Wahrheit sich nicht freut in allen göttlichen Dingen. Whoever rejects One article of faith rejects them all, and makes everything else good that he does reprehensible. Reprinted from Luther's last short confession on the Holy Supper of the year 1544, on the occasion of the open assertion that the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ has passed away, and that the Evangelical Lutheran Christians have herein become Reformed.*) 9. Offenes Bedenken gegen die reformirte Mischungs-Mission in Basel. In this tract it is shown that the Basel institution is Reformed, according to its origin, administration (committee), connection (with the Reformed Church of Basel in worship and the Lord's Supper), and finally according to its affiliation with the English Reformed mission. 10. Sicherer Probierstein aller Secten aus Luthers Auslegung des 117. Psalm. 11. Von der Taufe der Kirche Gottes. 12. Die falsche Liebe. 13. Das Marburger Gespräch zwischen Luther und Zwingli.

*) This excellent tract we intend shortly to communicate to our readers through the "Lutheraner."

*) This is the assertion which is now continually uttered unabashed, and impudently defended, in the "Lutheran Observer," to the shame of all Lutherans of America.

The dear reader sees from this that Pastor Horning and his fellow combatants in Germany and France evidently pursue the same goal and have the same task as the "Lutheraner" here in America. Let us rejoice in the dear fellow-combatants for our beloved Zion, and let us be strengthened by this new tidings, how elsewhere also our brethren stand courageously and joyfully in the same fire as we, not to grow weary in our begun conflict.

In conclusion we remark further that the tracts are sold singly and in booklets of twelve numbers each at a very low price, and may be obtained both from the publisher and through the bookstore of Kräuter in Strasburg.

Partiality in Punishing.

Those are poisonous and dangerous preachers who take only one party in hand, scold the lords, in order to tickle the rabble and to curry favor with the peasants, like Münzer, Carlstadt, and other fanatics; or, again, scold only the rabble, in order to flatter the lords and serve them well, like our adversaries. But it is said: both parties hewn into one pot and one dish made of them, to the one as to the other. For the preaching office is not a courtier or a peasant's servant; it is God's servant and bondman, and His command goes over lords and servants; as the Psalm says here: He judgeth and punisheth the gods. —

Luther on Psalm 82, 1.
