He is an easy, fluent, sensible S)roaker, and his seimous breathe the true spirit of his calling. We do not wontler that tlie people of Charles ton, S.

Home XiMioni. ] We endorse every word “Inter ested” says about tlie necessity of employing a travelling missionary. Only we should have every Synod sending forth an Evangelist to pro claim the glad tidings, and to gather onr scattered members. AVe have always advocated it; but rather nn- sacccssfully. We believe that there is greater necessity now for home- efforts, than at any previous time. Foreign immigration is coming in, and the bread of life is in' demand. Ioust Sunday one immigrant came fourteen miles to commune with ns. They look to us, they call on ns! Will we hear and do our duty to them! One thing though is indis pensable: The home missionaries employed must be able to officiate both hi German and English.— Neither Will broken down ministers do for this work. It requires aide, fervent, active and energetic men. The Church in Columbia. Rev. E. Canghmait paid 975.00. He is a brother, and a friend in deed; a man of his word, and of good words. He not only promises, but lie perforins. We could not, and can not accomplish what he does. *t is not in us. Tit is good brother went to /Charleston the other week, said to every man lie met, you must give me something for Rtitle’s church, and with the exception of one maD, and he a rich in»n, and a Lutheran, Jiot one said , him, nay.

By and by, we will pub lish the names, first, of those who gave at once; secondly, the names of those who promised, ami ke|>t tlieir promise; und thirdly, the names of those who promised and broke tlieir promise. Many have said to us, “you must have a church iu Columbia, and we will help yon ; you don’t need money now, but when yon do, you shall have it.” Some said, when the corn crop is imule; others, when we sell our cotton; others, nguin, when business is brisk we will assist.

Tlie West gives ns Luther’s House Postil; the Mouth presents us with Lather’s Church Postil, and we do hope that every minister, every pureiit, und all who are able—ami who U not f—will make haste to get these works.
