^ m ] to his labors, during the last
_ jiihI tbe Muster called hiu* to
p, reward. Soon after the close of
,irel»tecivil war Rev. A. 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-

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

trickled silently down their cheeks.

Notes By ths Way.
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. K. E. McDaniel; hymn j
distribution of prawnta; Gloria ia
KxceUis; reports, Ac.; hymn and
doxoiogy, closing with bevedictioe.
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
