J The young gentleman—Mr. McFarland—gave entire satisfaction. Even the hereay hunters found no fault with him. .Mfowarf may not approve of it, but we think it better that one people are fed at home than that they should lx* compelled to hunt in different directions for spir- itual ftxM, or what la still worse, not lie fed lit »H. The Lord provided, and we are grateful. Yes, the Lord is truly with us; blessed be his name! We were afraid that we would not have an editorial 1 for this number, but the Lord pi|t it into the heart of our coDeagnk from whom we have not bad a scrap for months, to send us moat unexpectedly » “leader,'” and thus rertieTca us of all disquietude. Now wet know our good “brother” will do his part til! wo either resume or resigfi. We are the Lord's; his will he done! Staunton Female Seminary. Haring been «o foug sih nt con cerning our Seminary, many of the readers of the Yisttar will no doubt be glad to bear of its present eon ditioo and future prospect*. Thu third .session, which is uow rapidly ♦hawing to a close, has been decided ly successful. We have bad twenty- four boarders in attendance. This, to all who know anything of the history of such schools, is regarded a west encouraging state of things. The; first annual suasion we bail but four boarders for half of the term, with au addition of one at tho open iug of the aeeoud half term. lul our second annual session wo had ten boarders for the entire term, which was double the highest num ber in the first year. Thus it will be seen that the present session baa more tha* double the number of the second, and more than four, lacking oue Of tusking Jive times that of the first. The prospect for a fourth term is decidedly hopeful at this time, so much so that it in our pres ent expectation to enlarge our build ings this, summer, that we may lie able to .accommodate not less than forty boarders next year. To the friends of female education in our church this resnlt must be most gratifying, and we trust will prore a stimulus to increased dili gence on their part to make this school such a decided success as will be both ad honor and a blessing to our Zion* lint we propose to let extracts from letters recently re ceived from intelligent laymen from three different Synod* in our Southern Church, the writers of which have sisters or other friends] hero at this time among our pupils, speak in be half of the Seminary. The first is from Sou til Carolina ; * “I candidly assure yon tbst I am perfectly satisfied with your school, and especially with my sister's prog ress. Faitfoer, i feel honored that our church can boost of such a school -afid corps of professors as Staunton Female Seminary can at present show to the world." The second is from a member of the TenWtesee Synod, who resides In ViVfrinia:i>' f “Long recogniziug the fact that one of. the greatest wants of our Lutheran Climrh, Bon fib, was a fe luUkfethool of high order, I rejoiced at the announcement of your Inten tion to establish one, and am proud that I was one of tho few that en couraged‘it, and to day I am happy in believing Staunton Female Sem inary an Established inatitution of onr church, and is fast being recog nixed by *11 Lnthcruns as the place 1 THE LUTHERAN VISITOR, COLUMBIA.

We give these extracts, so #o couraging to ua in our arduous on delinking, not from any spirit of vain glory, but merely to show to the church that those who are pat rotiixing the school and have done so from its opening, are ita most stead fast friends.

When men ot the world see such tilings developed to the character of OHsimn, it ran hove no other ten dency than to drive them aw ay from Ubrtot; hot they have the word of (fed by which to try the spirits, and If minister* who entertaiu soch sen timents would but examine this snb jert to the (rue spirit of Christianity they would find that this is the cradle in which the apostles ot Christ and all the primitive Christians were rocked. This cfifeNe is still in good keeping, and we pray God to permit tw* man to enter the ministry without first giving him a good rocking in it. There is something in it essentially neeemary to qualify a man for the ministerial office. It is something like fire—of a purifying nature. There is fire in the Christian religion, and a religion that has no fire in it is not of God. God baptises his inintotcra, and all who come unto him through Christ, with the Holy Ghost and with fire, and intends that their heart* shall uot only be kept warm but hot by it, and if by neglect they become even lake warm, be declare* that he will spew them oat of his mouth.
