A New Missionary GaInep For Cuina.— On
Sunday, September 19, Candidate E. Riedel, a grad-
uate of the Seminary at Springfield, Ill., was com-
missioned a missionary to China at New Ulm,
Minn. The sermon upon the occasion was preached
by Rey. Aug. Rehwaldt. The impressive act of
commissioning was performed by Rev. C. J. Al-
brecht, who was assisted by Pastors Aug. Rehwaldt
and Aug. Hertwig. At a missionary service in
the evening the newly commissioned missionary
preached a sermon based on Mark 16,15. Rev.
Riedel visited St. Louis last month, and addressed
the local pastoral conference there. Before leaving
for Hankow, China, he will be united in marriage
to Miss Carmelia Becher, of Westgate, Iowa. ‘The
young missionary couple intends to leave this coun-
try about the middle of this month.

is a worthy successor to the first seven books of the

volume may encourage the publishers to let others soon
