for it* We would like to be pleeoed
with hit promise: ‘‘If my health im
proves, I win make an effhrt to

we have done oar best, the promise
doe* not cbeer ns. The fact k, we
have any quantity of promisee on
hand, and are willing to sell, on long
time, the whole 'let'to the lowest
bidder. A sanguine man might
commence business with them. We
do not tell our people to wait until
they are better, but to go to work at
once, now, without one plea, to secure
the prise; and that Is what we want
our kind-hearted brother to do. We
feel ooufldent that Mr. E. Brent, Mrs.
Winter Hill, and the Virginias, Re
beccas, &c., need only to be asked
by their pastor to subscribe, and
loving and confiding in him as much
as they do, they will cheerfully com
ply. Try it.
A Request.—“Mr. , who lives
at , Miss., is very anxious to
read a Lutheran paper, aud writes
(to a gentleman in 8. C.) that there
are a few Lutherans there. He was
brought np and confirmed here. He
lost his three sons in the Confederate
service, and has been almost broken
up during the war ; still, be says, be
is by hard work making a living. I
think if you send the paper, it
will be ‘casting Urepd upon the wa
ters,’ and, in time may be the mean*
of a Lutheran church growing up
there. The peculiar doctrines of the
okl Lutheran Church, ‘Justification
by Faith,’ will always meat with a
favorable reception, when present
ed.”
We would gladly comply with the
request, and will send several back
numbers that ve have on hand to
Mr. $ bat we can not undertake
to add him to our list of dead bends
—we have too assay non-paying sub
scribers at present. But we would
suggest to the gentleman who want
ed os to do so much good, mot to
permit os or nay one else to deprive
him of the opportunity to do no net
of kindness. He to abundantly able
to pay for a dozen copies without
feeling it, and ought to do it.

His people can not support him. It

The reason Bro. Keller has to crOaa
the Rubicon b this: he did not dr
culate foe Fist for among his people.
We can not nnderatand it anyhow!
He always had revivals of religion;
hb people generally profess to love
God, and not the world*, they gave
him a donation party only n few
months ago; and now—they are not
able to support hiiu ! ’ We are afraid
the will is wanting.
Rev. Jacob Summers, of Ilay field,
Virginia, b also taking his departure
from tbe field he has occupied so
long. He goes to Greagerstown,

and he did not support the Lutheran

Rev. P. MiUar f of Wardensvilb,
Virginia, we learn, has also some
thoughts of makiugnchange. What
is wrong ia the Old Dominion t Are
our people beeaamag so covetous, no
miserly, as careless and indifferent,
that they ue longqr think tbe laborer

become so perfect, that they send
not men of GmLtp minister to them
in holy things, and are no bmgtor
