A young brother, who in willing

tion with the pastoral care of two

tbe editors of the Lutheran Vinitor,
be directed to a promising field of
usefulness.

There is no heaven for Christians,
and there is no hell for sinners. The
devil tea myth, and (led the remote
cause of the beginning; after that
development is God, and develop
ment is almighty, aiwise, aud

is religion. Perfect intellectual and
moral equality is proclaimed. Malt

distinction lietween the t'uucassian,
the Mongolian, and the Negro.—
Here the equality of tlie two race*,
white ami black, has been establish
ed by law; though tlie inferiority of
the latter is proved incontestibly by
the fact that the lewder* of the freed
torn are either of Caneussian or
mixed-blood. Reform is the onler
of tlie day. We tans* heard Loyd
Ganvtson say, that the earth hail

Rev. W. 8. Bowman.
Our Brother is breathing his native
air, and his foot is, not on his
'“native heath,” but on tlie moun
tains of Virginia; tbe old friends are
welcoming him, old memories are
awakened, and be is slowly improv
ing. We have jnst received a letter
from him, in which be writes: “Am
getting a little better. Am having
a pleasant time. Am trying to keep
very quiet in body and mind, which
is essential to my recovery.”
His many friends, The Lutheran
Vinitor included, hope and pray that
he may continue to improve, aud
that before long he may return to its,
his health fully restored. May the
Lord guard, guide, and' bless him!
