Phillippi, pastor of St. John's Evangelical inlheran church near Wythe will©, ^006 pastor atul served about six aniths, resigning iu favor of bis pflscnt field of labor. Now again get. Solomon Schaeffer became its pgor, and so remained until the greter relieved him from his post k the year 1871, having served with itieiitr to God and to his trust near thirty years iu the same charge, piling his pastoral connection many •esibers were gathered, instructed, red turned, with whom he is now spying the rich reward of his loug ad self-sacrificing labors in tbe fester's vineyard. About a year after his decease the infer of this article was called, and altered upon the discharge of pas- (snl duty July lath, 1872. As is dvsys the case where a people are left without a pastor for any length tf floe, Ipc -charge was not in a nry encouraging condition. The daich records had been lost, and no m could give a correct roll of the Members, who were scattered over ao area of ten or twelve miles in atent. Though reported at 300 «ly about 115 members could be found after diligent search, and some af them rather lukewarm in the cause, while almost all were ready to despair of success in auy church eaterprise. Added to these discour* apng features was our want, total rut, of pastoral experience—this bring our first charge. Bot we went to work with a firm confidence in the great Head of the ebareh, n few strong arms, warm harts, and willing souls supporting w by their prayers, their counsels and their means, and by the jhelp of God we feel satisfied that much good in been accomplished. We have preached, administered ibe sacraments and catechised regn* forty, aud as fruits of our labors, under tbe Divine blessings, twenty four persons have been added to the cboreh by baptism, continuation and letter during the past nine months. Among these we may mention a lomau Catholic lady—a widow with ter two children. As our churches were all out in tbe country, and as Blacksburg bids far to be a place of importance and influence owing to the locatiou of ihe Virginia A. and M. College here, <»e of our first efforts was to secure * lot m town for a church and par- *>oagp. This was regarded as a Herculean task by almost all. Faith *a» even smaller than “a mustard A meeting of the Council called—the importance urged, *°d preliminary steps taken in the of much opposition. A lot of two acres was bought for $300, and ** » parsouage seemed to be the pressing demand, owing to the b'gh rents asked for property, and pecuniary embarrassment of tbe rtttrge, it was determined to build &at first.

Some time ago ibe qaeetiou «m raised in our little eongregaUon; How shall we accumulate funds suf ftcient to pay our parsonage debt falling due January 1st, 1874 f Amounting, in round numbers, to $500. A large sum for to smalt a congregation. A heavy bun ten weak back. But you . will appreciate the dr cum stance* Ite^er when 1 tell you, that only a short time before the late war tbe chnrch waa organized with scarcely more than half a dozen mem bers. That, daring that protracted struggle, these faithful few became scattered, not having a pastor for more than three years. That the attempt waa made to reorganize the Sunday school after this by only two persons ; but fepm, loving ad he rents of onr glorious Zioo. And that too at a time when they were obliged to paj, in the then current money, $30 for a cord of wood, and $500 for a barrel of floor. That after the obstruction to travel were taken away, and persons allowed to pass the Federal lines, the Rev. J. I. Miller accepted the pas to rate and collected the feeble bend. Daring tbe time he nerved them, b# was obliged to supplement bis salary by work outside regular pastoral duties. He resigned to benefit the church at large, and became tbs principal of Htannton Female Semi, nary, tbeu in its incipiencv, but now boasting a foil and efficient corps of teachers, and having thirty board era, beside a goodly number of day pupils. Tbe Rev. IX M. Gilbert followed. He, too, was obliged to seek addi tional support. The congregation seeing tbe inconveniences that their esteemed pastors were obliged to undergo, for want of a borne, and their inability to make them com forts hie without supplying this want, determined to build a parsonage. This was done at a coat ot about $5,000; more than $3,000 of which has already been paid, leaving a balance of nearly $2,000 still to be met; $500 of which falls due ss staled above. To meet part of this demand tbe parsonage has beeu, and is atilt, rented, ao that neither the previous nor the present pastor baa yet had tbe pleasure of being its uccupanu Now if tbe reader will bear In mind that this congregation was only re organised after tbe war, with bat a handful of members, in the midst of flourishing churches of other de nominations, amt under very an favorable auspices, that we now nmpber about ninety com man wan Is, and that none of these are rich, bot the great majority poor, he will see that we have reason to thank God and take courage, as well as to ex pect the substantiml sympathy sad encouragement of all liberal Lather ans. In these tight times, under these circumstances, and with this, to na, large amount staring as in the face, we resolved unanimously, after pray erful consideration, not to hare m fair. At the suggestion of the church officers, tbe subject of Christian Gie ing was presented to the coagreg* tion. Dean 8wlft*s sermon embraces oars in a nutshell: Mt lle that givrth loved the beset Ifni chores, “Now we befog oar Christmas treasures” ; after which eaaM the *>firing* Bo- hold the result, la which oar mat sail gain© expects tarns ware sur passed i OwigregBlion $ltt 7$ Ladles* Aoeietieo u$ no floadaj School 30 94 aeaeam . too 00 Makfof is all $44) TO This amount bring within a few dollars sufficient to meet oar oblige tloft. Who can say after such a demon strut ion, that God la not “the mime yesterday, to day, and forever • that he hill not answer the prayer of ftdtb, and help those who help them selves. As this announcement waa made to the congregation, tears stood la the eyes of many, and trickled silently down their cheeks. Tears—not of sorrow—bot of Joy and rejoicing.

Though Cbnetaise hes passed end with it many pleasant recollections, yet there arssome that linger around na and make ns feel grateful that we have such a festival. To the children in /oanectkm with the Kvagelnml Lutheran Church in I bed moat, W. Va., that day will ever be memorable. Prepurmtiooa had been made, and amply too, for supplying tbe ahildren with presents. Before tbe hoar had arrived for ths exer rises to commeoce the house was foil—all admiring the beautifully trimmed tree which stood laden with “good things.** Following the pro gramme, first was Bcripture Lrenoa and prayer; then the Christmas la troit, by the school; Address, by the Mentor, Rev.

The scholars acquitted themselves In a very becoming manner—all being remembered by some of their frieeda with some token of love and after tarn, esteem and friendship. Another event we might meetaia occurred on that evretfo! day. A call was made out to the present pastor, and that lulls band of labor era had once more an oreraser. Too great credit can not be attache*I to some of the zealous brethren, who have atood by the helm and steered the little Lutheran craft over the terbid waters of denominational dts couragtags and biddings This Httle brotherhood waited long and atfx foody, and when least expected a shepherd appeared among them rued} and wilting to eater epoa the werk—for work it waa.
