America.”
A North Caroliiiq brother writes :

That man's heart is right, and we

condition aud wants of this city, we
are impressed with tbe necessity of
organization, and if poasihle a church
for every Evangelical denomination
in it. We do not desire to be dawned
with those who would exclude every
organization, aud every denomiua*
tion but our own from the city. 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

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

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

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

There is now a good field for this
enterprise ia tbe city, and one which
every year will become better. We
commend it to tbe encouragement of
all Christian people, aud hope that it
will draw to it tne warm sympathy
of Lutherans in other places. If
some noble hearted man to whom
the Lord has given the means, would
generously provide a lot, ho* easily
with the liberal aid of churches else
where, might a comfortable edifice
be erected. It mast be apparent to
all that a boose of their own and in
a good situation, is indispensable to
the increase and success desired.
The Presbyterian Church in Amer
ica has slwsys felt kindly for, aaaist
ed, and rejoiced in the prosperity
of the Lntherau Chnrch. We have
often said that if we liad to leave
the Lutheran Church, we would ap
ply for admission iuto the Presby
terian Church, and in the Old School
Church. It is a grand cjiurcb. It*
