ist der Noth nicht abgeholfen; unsre Glaubensgenossen dort haben auch in diesem Jahre entweder gar nichts, oder doch nur so viel geerntet, daß sie in die bitterste Noth gerathen würden, wenn wir ihnen nicht helfen. Diese Noth wurde nun auch der ehrw. Synode westlichen Districts während ihrer kürzlich in Concordia gehaltenen Versammlung vorgestellt, und von derselben ein Committee ernannt, bestehend aus den Pastoren G. Tönjes und M. Meyer und Herrn Aug. Mangelsdorf in Atchison, welcher Gaben für diese Nothleidenden in Empfang nehmen und Lebensmittel und Kleidungsstoffe ankaufen und den Bedürftigen austheilen soll.

Da nun der Winter vor der Thür ist, und manche diesen Leuten sehr nothwendige Dinge, als z. B. Kartoffeln u. dergl., späterhin entweder gar nicht, oder doch nur schwer beschafft oder versandt werden können, so ergeht hiemit an Alle, die durch Gottes Gnade ein Scherflein zu diesem Zweck übrig haben, die herzliche und dringende Bitte, solche Gaben doch recht bald einzusenden; denn wer hier bald gibt, der gibt wirklich doppelt.

Im Auftrag der ehrw. Synode westl. Districts M. Meyer.

Gaben für diesen Zweck sind zu senden an:

Mr. Aug. Mangelsdorf, Atchison, Kansas.

Bitte.

Für den Bau der Professorenwohnung am hiesigen College ist bis Dato nur die größere Hälfte der Kosten eingekommen. Da das Werk jetzt vollendet ist, bin ich gehalten, das Geld in Kurzem zu beschaffen. Sehr wünschenswerth wäre es nun, wenn das geschehen könnte, ohne Anleihen machen zu müssen. Es ergeht deshalb hiermit die Bitte an alle lieben Gemeinden unseres Districts, namentlich aber an Diejenigen, die entweder noch nichts, oder nicht alles Versprochene in dieser Sache gethan haben, wenn möglich recht bald eine ihren Kräften entsprechende Einzahlung zu machen. Auch möchte es nicht ungehörig sein, hiermit diejenigen Districte, die beschlossen haben, den unsrigen bei dem in Rede stehenden Unternehmen zu unterstützen, bescheidentlichst an ihr Versprechen zu erinnern. Bis jetzt ist von außerhalb des mittleren Districts noch gar nichts eingegangen.

Fort Wayne, den 31. Oct. 1880. C. Grahl, Kassirer.

(Verspätet.)

Herzlichen Dank

sagt der Unterzeichnete im Auftrag der Synode der ev.-lutherischen Freikirche in Sachsen u. a. St. allen denen, welche im vorigen Winter der nothleidenden Glaubensbrüder in Deutschland gedacht und uns nach und nach die Summe von 1431 Mk. 46 Pf. zur Unterstützung derselben geschickt haben. Es ist dadurch möglich geworden, gegen 40 Familien in unserer Synode, welche theils geradezu Hunger litten, theils durch besondere Unglücksfälle in bittere Noth gerathen waren, zu unterstützen; 40 Mk., welche ausdrücklich für Hungerleidende in Schlesien bestimmt waren, sind, da die Hungersnoth dort zu Ende und die Sammlungen dafür eingestellt waren, an den Landrath zu Lauban für die Wassercalamitosen des Kreises Lauban abgegeben worden. — Mit dem herzlichsten Danke für alle diese Gaben ist der Unterzeichnete die Mittheilung zu verbinden beauftragt, daß die besondere Noth, welche diese reichlichen Gaben veranlaßt hat, jetzt aufgehört hat, während die allgemeine Noth, die besonders die Erhaltung eines rechtgläubigen Kirchenwesens in Deutschland erschwert, noch fortdauert.

Niederplanitz in Sachsen, 19. Oct. 1880.

the need has not been relieved; our fellow believers there again this year have harvested either nothing at all, or only so little, that they would fall into the bitterest need if we do not help them. This need was now presented to the reverend Synod of the Western District during its recently held convention in Concordia, and a committee was appointed by it, consisting of Pastors G. Tönjes and M. Meyer and Mr. Aug. Mangelsdorf in Atchison, who is to receive gifts for these needy people and purchase food and clothing and distribute it to those in want.

Since winter is now at the door, and many things very necessary to these people, such as potatoes and the like, can later either not be obtained or shipped at all, or only with difficulty, the heartfelt and urgent request goes out herewith to all who through God's grace have a mite to spare for this purpose, to send in such gifts quite soon; for whoever gives quickly here truly gives twice.

By order of the reverend Synod of the Western District, M. Meyer.

Gifts for this purpose are to be sent to:

Mr. Aug. Mangelsdorf, Atchison, Kansas.

Request.

For the building of the professor's residence at the college here, only the larger half of the cost has so far come in. Since the work is now finished, I am obliged to secure the money shortly. It would be very desirable if this could happen without having to take out loans. The request is therefore hereby made to all the dear congregations of our district, especially to those who have either given nothing yet, or have not given all that was promised in this matter, to make, if possible, a payment corresponding to their means quite soon. It would also not be improper hereby most modestly to remind those districts that have resolved to support ours in the undertaking under discussion of their promise. So far nothing at all has come in from outside the Middle District.

Fort Wayne, Oct. 31, 1880. C. Grahl, Treasurer.

Heartfelt Thanks

is given by the undersigned, on behalf of the Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Free Church in Saxony and other states, to all those who last winter thought of the needy brethren in the faith in Germany and sent us, little by little, the sum of 1431 marks 46 pfennigs for their support. It has thereby become possible to support some 40 families in our Synod who were either literally suffering hunger, or who had fallen into bitter want through particular misfortunes; 40 marks, which were expressly designated for those suffering hunger in Silesia, have, since the famine there had ended and the collections for it were discontinued, been given over to the Landrat at Lauban for the flood victims of the Lauban district. — Together with the heartiest thanks for all these gifts, the undersigned is charged with conveying the further notice that the particular need which occasioned these generous gifts has now ceased, while the general need, which especially hampers the preservation of a doctrinally sound church life in Germany, still continues.

Niederplanitz in Saxony, Oct. 19, 1880.

O. Willkomm, Evangelical Lutheran Pastor.

Since March 8 of this year, the following gifts of love for poor students have come in to the aid fund of the Southeastern Conference District of Missouri: From Pastor Matuschka's congregation $11.75. N. N. in Pastor Merbitz's congregation 10.00. Through Pastor A. Lohr, from F. A. Nothdurft 5.00. Through Pastor O. Voigt, part of the confirmation collection on Ascension Day 1.75. Surplus of the collection for printing the paper for the conference in Frohna, Mo., 2.45. From my own congregation 10.00. N. N. in Forest Park 1.45. Through Pastor Janzow, from the wedding and infant-baptism collection fund of his congregation 6.65. For student L. Lange in St. Louis, from the poor fund of the congregation in Pleasant Ridge, Ill., 10.00. For student H. Rohlfing in St. Louis (?). Collection at the wedding of Mr. F. Grote here, 8.40, for student E. Heinemann in St. Louis. Through Pastor Janzow, collection at Pastor Weinhold's infant baptism, 2.75.

May God repay the dear givers for their charity for Christ's sake, and raise up quite many cheerful givers who will gladly take to heart the need of the church's poor future servants.

The fund is again in such a state that the need of those who depend on support cannot be relieved. I therefore ask most kindly herewith that something be lent to the dear God out of the earthly goods entrusted to us: for it is He who comes in His poor to those who have means, and who rewards such lending with high interest. Prov. 19:17. Matt. 10:41-42.
