F*r better to extend tbe baud of wel- come to all truly orthodox Protestant organization*, so that each nu»\ find a spiritual home of bis own. We have been particularly inter ested in the organization of an Eng lish Lutheran church in Richmond, effected more for the pnrpunr of ta king care of the y imth coming from tbe German Lutheran cougregatmtiw, (of which there are two in the city) than from any other source. There are many well to do German Lnth eran families amongst ns, whose children are educated in the man iiera, customs, and language of the country, who soon will lie fitted to take their plai-es in business anil in the Chnri-h. But it Is a lamentable fact that so many of the young (.er man LntlientUM, pis there an* many Scotch Breabytertatis) who come to this couutry, are very slow to con nect tliemselvcs with onr American churches. This is m«»re espeeinlly the case with the Germans, from the fact that in this city, until reeratfy, they had no English Church of their choice to go to. • Now it is well niidenttond by those coDveWMit with chnrrh DMHters. that tbe majority of children of Ger*i«n parents do not remain with tin tier man churches. Where do they got If there is no English Lutheran Church for them to enter, a few find their way into other denominations, whilst tbe great maj<»rMy stand ulod from all eburehen, and not a few ol them become skeptics and infidels. Better far for them and for Christ i- auity in general, could they be far uished with a church of their own. We would rejoice to see our brethren succeed In tbeir efforts to build up an English Lutheran Church in our city. And it should not be doutried in tbe least, that tbe Pro (cm taut de Dominations of our place generally would assist them in a substantial way in their laudable undertaking. Tbe Rev.
