Dialogues on Baptism
Read the articles on the doty of
those who have been baptised. They
teach the true Lutheran doctrine,
show clearly that we Lutherans con
fess and teach, that baptism without
faith, and faith without works, are
in vain!
These articles are translated by a
young minister, who, with bat very
little aid from a teacher, has made
himself a respectable German schol
ar. Let young men follow his exam

bell with good inteutious, aud they
of course accomplish nothing above
tbe ground.
We oucc taught a gentleman, fifty
years old, German for a few months.
Two years after he published a book
translated from tbe German ; he did
not send us a copy ; he did not pay
ns for all the trouble we had with
him; we read his preface to the
book, aud though we were really the
translator of a portion of it, he dkl
not mention it. The book itself we
did not read. Thereby hangs a tale.
One day we met him in a library.
He took ns to one side. “Look here,”
said he, “here to a word I can’t find
in the German dictionary.” We
looked at it. “No wonder,” said we,
“it is Greek." “Greek P he exclaim
ed. ‘‘Certainly,” said we. t “Don't
speak so loud,” cried he, looking
abont tremblingly.
Tbe larger number of German
works that have been translated into
English should be re-translated. We
have something to say about tbe
translator and publisher of Hnne
Andersen.

We Imre received a letter from
