church about four years ago at Springfield,
Illinois, and there obtained part of his theolog-
ical education at the German Seminary. He is
now completing his education in theology under
the private tutorage of Rev. C. Frank, formerly
of this city, at Zanesville. It is the design of
the church to send him South to evangelize the
colored people. He is a fluent and correct
speaker, and his sermon on the Scriptures last
Sunday evening was well received by the large
congregation present. The singing of the choir
was especially fine on this occasion. It was
quite a curiosity for the members of said church
to have a colored man preach to them.

—MuwavkeEeE has 17 Lutheran congrega-
tions in connection with the Synodical Confe-
rence. Each of these has a parochial school.
The total number of scholars is 4335; there are
54 teachers.

—BIttes are distributed at Castle Garden,
New York, printed in the following languages:
English, Welsh, French, Danish, Swedish, Fin-
nish, Italian, Spanish, German, Dutch, Rus-
sian, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Bohemian, Polish,
Slavic, Arabic, Greek, Armenian, Hebrew and
Portuguese.

—A Goop Norice. One of the ‘‘notices”’
in the porch of the church at Hawarden, Eng-
land, near Mr. Gladstone’s Castle, reads thus,
‘On your way to the Lord’s house be thought-
ful, be silent, or say but little, and that little
good. Speak not of other men’s faults; think
of your own, for you are going to ask for-
giveness. Never stay outside; go in at once;
time spent inside should be precious.

—A New York paper tells a good story, as
to how a confidential letter of Bishop Corri-
gan’s to the Romish priests of Newark, leaked
ofit some time ago. ‘‘Many of the priests of
the Newark diocese felt humiliated and out-
raged by Bishop Corrigan’s interference in poli-
tics, but being absolutely under his thumb, none
of them dared to say a word. There was, how-
ever, in the diocese a German priest whose
knowledge of English was so extremely limited
that he interpreted the word ‘confidential’
‘written across the bishop’s letter to mean ‘con-
fide all’—that is to say, ‘tell everybody;’ ‘pub-

‘drunk with the blood of the saints.’”? We
would commend ‘‘Fox’s ‘Book of Martyrs’ to
the editor of the Freeman’s (?) Journal. It is
not the lives of the saints she has taken we
deplore so much, as.the vast number of souls
she has sent to hell through her delusions.

—As Germany extends hersway over heathen
lands, the missionary societies move forward
apace. A newly organized society in Bavaria
has inaugurated work in East Africa, and the
Basle Society has just purchased the ‘‘plant’’
of the English Baptists at Cameroons.

—Paracona, that home of wild horses and
giant men at the extreme south of our conti-
nent, will become a field of Mission work for
our Church. A tract of country twice as large
as Pennsylvania is acquired by Germany for
an agricultural colony. If the new colony once
prospers, there will not only be churches and
church-schools, but also Missionary societies for
the spreading of the Gospel among the In-
dians.

—Ir is stated that 700 Christians have been
massacred in Tonquin, China, 30 villages
burned, and that 9,000 Christians are in danger
from starvation.

—Txe Lutheran Church in Norway has a
mission ship that plies between Norway and
Madagascar and Zululand. By-and-by we will
be able to man a fleet of Lutheran mission
