4 Pleasant Visit.—Rev. N. Der

diioners in South Caroliua, call
ed (jo see us, and he was thrice wel
come. He brought us not only him
self, but supplied our exchecquer,
aud brought us good tidiuga of the
churches. His people, descendants
of the Salzburgers, who gave up in
ler days their earthly homes for
church—some of their deareo
have in later days given dp
church for earthly homes—are
ij sons of worthy sires, love
pastor, and live for aud unto

te cause of evangelical religion
eing advanced, personal and
family religiou are progressing, and
the Church of the Reformation will
at fao distant day regain what she
lost among the Salzburgers, IIow
they, who have snch a genealogy,
such a history, and such a faith by
inheritance to confess, can be any
thing else than Lutherans is a mys
tery to us.

was a gratify iug success.
We would here ask leave to pay
the two societies of Roanoke College
a well deserved compliment. Tbe
•poacbee delivered at celebratioos,
oratorical 000 teats and commence
meats, owe much of their elegance
of composition aud finished delivery
to the trainings received in these
literary organizations. We venture
the assertion, sustained as it is by
well knows theta, that these societies
hare no superiors ia Virginia. Sea
•ton before tost, both tbe Final ora
tore of the societies at tbe University
of Virgiaia were graduates of Roan
oke College (class of W). There
Final orations are delivered during
theft comma*esmeot week, and are
regarded very high honors. Tbe
high standing of Rouoake graduates
in the professional schools of tbe
University hod in the various de-
(kartmoots of active lift, is indispu
table evidence of tin* high order of
mental ealtiration required to com
plots the carricnlum. If Lutherans
w<mld but learn to value their schools
as they deserve, oar college* and
somlutunes would soon be among the
first in the laud.
The Christian Association is large

good of th* Society they have public

various times daring tbe session.
Last Friday evening (21st iust.) tbe
Anniversary Address was delivered
to a large audience in the Latheran

the Presbyterian church, Lynchburg.
After • few »ppro|iri»te introductory
