I have oloaely watched the progrene
of the Church at different podnu,
aud for the want of liberality among
our people in the support of tho min
iatry, aoma are well nigh deserted,
aa a minister can not afford to ride
from DO to 40 mile* and preach
gratuitously. The entire Lutheran
Church in Middle Georgia, with hot
one exception, ia miaatonary ground.
la addition to a few weak organi
rations, there are other point* of im
portance that claim our attention.
We have more or less material scat
Ipjned over the State, while there are
■ great many who sympathize with

bocoining identified with the mother
Protestant Church.
Our people are becoming encour
aged from the increase nod talent in
oar mioiateria! ranks, aud with a
little more energy and liberality upou
the part of our people the Lutheran
Church ia bound to succeed. At
several point* where we have been
laboring strong efforts have been
made to swallow us up, which is
conclusive evidence that they are
suspicion* of oar (iriuciples. This
has been the case at
rr. John’s,
hot in alt probabftity the “biter will
get bitten. 1 * We held a meeting at thia
place embracing the fourth Sabbath
in June, at which Revs. Lavender,
Tigner and Kahn and my self were
present The meeting was somewhat
frustrated for the want of a suitable
(dace to bold services (as we have
disponed of the old church, and have
not as yet succeeded in building a
new one) and from the very heavy
and continued rain on Sabbath,
which prevented us from having any
senior*. Rev*. Tigner and Kabn
preached for us, aud made a very
favorable impression u|k>u the au
