15. Mr. F. Johl, formerly assistant preacher in Adrian, Mich., called by the Lutheran congregation at Claremont, Dodge Co., Minn., was installed by Pastor Krumsieg on the 18th Sunday after Trinity, 1871.

NB. It should also be noted that missionary Mr. Miessler, in the past year, laid down the schoolteacher's post in Saginaw City, Mich. — which he had taken up after giving up the mission station in Isabella County — and has devoted himself to the practice of medicine.

II. Visitations.

1. In Michigan, these were carried out by Pastor Hügli at the congregations at Grand Haven, its neighborhood, and Manistee; by the undersigned at the congregation of Frankentrost.

2. In Wisconsin, by Pastor Lochner at the congregations in Racine, Kirchhayn, and Mequon; by Pastor Strasen at the congregation of Pastor Fr. Schneider; by Pastor Engelbert at the congregations of Pastor Georgii; and by Pastor Schumann in Town Abbot.

3. In Minnesota, by Pastor O. Clöter at the congregations of Pastors Krumsieg, Fischer, and Sprengeler. The results have for the most part been satisfying, indeed gratifying. May the merciful Lord grant grace still further, Amen!

Ottomar Fürbringer.

Annual report of the Central District.
A. Departed from the Central District:

Pastor E. G.-W. Keyl, until now in Wilshire, Van Wert Co., O., found himself compelled by the increasing infirmity of age to lay down his office. May the faithful God now grant this deserving man, after so long a labor, the rest he has longed for.

B. Entered into our District are:

1. Pastor Bundenthal. Until now a member of the Ohio Synod, he entered our synodical fellowship [*Synodal-Verband*] as a result of the merger of two congregations in Marion Township, Allen Co., Ind. — one of which had belonged to the Ohio Synod, the other to our own — into the present Emanuel's congregation, and was installed for the combined congregation on the 14th Sunday after Trinity by Dr. Sihler.

2. Pastor Georg Heintz. Likewise formerly a member of the Ohio Synod, he was called by the congregation at Crown Point, Ind. — founded and served by pastors of our fellowship — and, having obtained a peaceful release [from the Ohio Synod], was installed there on the 25th Sunday after Trinity by Pastor Traub.
