A GERMAN LETTER.
■■ • •», ...
Atlanta, August 3Q, 1873.
Reverend and Dear Brother : I have
received your esteemed letter, which
presents the ptospects of obtaining
aid from a source from which I hard
ly ventured to look for it. I intend
©d some time ago to write yon, but I
did not, because I believed that in
the circles in which you and your
paper move but little iutereat would
be felt iu the establishment of
German Lutheran church hi Atlanta.
Your friendly tetter has taught me
the coutrary.
It will soon be two years since I
came to Atlanta, and i have passed
through much on this oat post. Of
ten all hope seemed gone. More
than once it was said that our con
gregation was dead. But*now a
small Lutheran church will before
long, through God’s help, be com
pleted in Atlanta, when we will be
able to sing the “Eighty-fourth
Psalm.”
The account of our congregation,
which yon read in theAYrdtaiAfott
of my Synod, had been delayed.
We already have commenced the
building of our church. True we
have only about half of the amount
required, but we could not pot It off
any longer; the existence of the
congregation depended on it
Any assist ance is very acceptable,
♦•specially now toe are building, as
we havo constant use for money. If
it is possible for you to send us the
amount mentioned iu your letter, it
would afford us great help just now.
Your invitation to visit you in Co
lumbia I will not fail to jproAt froth.
As to the time when, I will let you
know. I wilt be detained here by
my school untO the close of this
month, and will then, God willing,
visit my old friend, the Rev, Johan
lies Heckel, in Knoxville, when ho
aud I propose to attend the Conven
tion of the Bolston Synod. At the
close of Septcmjber I might visit
you and the brethren in Augusta,
Savannah and Charleston. It will
be exceedingly interesting to me to
become acquainted through you with
the Southern Lutheran Church,
which in many respects differs from
the Northern Church.
If able to send us the money men
tioned in your ltoter, please do it
either by a check* r money orders.
In Iwpo to become before long per
The above letter has a history, sod
we will relate it. When we bail read
the Atlanta letter, found la the I sat
number of the rwier, we wrote at
once In “high-dutch” to K»». Koe-
bter, eaesrinf him ef our sympathy
and deep Interest in tire Lord's work f *•
committed to him. We told him
that we felt eooftdent that oar own

and who always need money to ear

U> the |ircwetit time,
firmly by our Geoersl »yoo<l, with
out any sign* of wavering or wcari*
oeee; aud to day it is one of the
ia»in column* that supports that
boildiug. Lo all that pertains to its
iuterests, whether financial, educa
tional, or missionary, It is fairly
awake. In the work of education,
U gives its support to Roanoke Col
lege and Htauuton Female Seminary.
It helps to support the theological
professor in our Seminary, and rec
ommends all i$e theological students
to prosecute their studies at this in
stitution. And in proof of iU ad
besiou to tbe school of tbe prophets,
aud iu determinfiliou to support it,
not only with mesa* but with stu
deuu, it clearly uttered iu diaappro
ballon of the coarse pursued by
those of iU candidates tor the minis
try, who, in disregard of iU recom
usemlsUous, prosecuted their studies,
whether classical or theological, at
other schools than those located at
Haleru. Whether any legislation
was enacted, looking to tbe esUblish
went of another chair of theology,
we are not advised (we were under
the necessity of leaving before the
adjournment of Syuod); but that
this impartaut matter will receive
the sttentiooof tbe Virginia Hynod
as soon as Itdeewmit practicable, we
do not entertain a doubt. It duly
appreciate* not only *hat the South
Carolina Synod is doiug in the *np
port of the theological professor, but
also iU proposition to snpport one
professor entire, ao soon as an other
sbsli be supported by the other
Hyoodft iu connection with our Gene
rsl Synod : so thst we ore p-rsuaded
it will not be a great while until we
have two professor* iu our Seminary;
and we booildy pray that tbe day is
not very far iu the future, when the
good Lord will |Mit it into the hearts
of the brethren not now with us, but
of u* sod nwoug us, to look to the
establishment of a third chair of
theology in our Seminary. Such
action in our judgment would be
highly beneficial to both “wings,” (as
a good brother of the other “wing,'
{whom we love) expressed it) of our
Southern church. It w»mld be beue-
fictsl to tbe interests of not only the
“•mag*,’’ but the whole t**ty of U

say that Mr. G. N. Nichols is s am
man. neat iu his person, neat ia hi
family, in his office, in his geeml
business and social intercourse; fir
do stovealy man is able toexekufeo
effectually all taint of riovealmu
from the jobs emanating fra* hi
office. Upon this principle the N-
ier ref used to lodge the Collier, w

1. The habit of assembling
church, previous to the opening *
Hynod, for a participation in theB«^
Communion is highly eommendto^
Snrely nothing can so fit the tow
and heart for the business to
church of Christ. Besides, if ra*
ou Sunday during Hy nodical OB
volition, many ministers wfll
»way, preaching in ueifh** 4 ^
churches and thus be deprived 1
this sacred privilege. It
customary to assemble the toiW* -
