We would like to speak of them individually, but we forbear, leat we draw too largely upon the space of your pa per, aud we will not wake invidious distinctions. We have a noble people, and we are greatly iu love with them. Very many have truly endeared them selves to na by acts of love and kindness. Outside of our regular salary we have received many sub- stautiabdouatious, which contributed largely to our support and comfort. Nor have throe kindnesses been con fined to our membership alone— Here, too, we can not particularise, but would express our tbhnks and very high appreciation. Though the nature of this field demands self denial and severe labors, yet there is a compensation of good cheer and encouragement, because oar people “bold np oar hands,” and the Lord is prospering his work. This enter prise will fully close the mission state of this charge. We expect to move into the |»areonago by the first of December, jierhaps sooner, and thenceforth to be sup|»orted entirely by our people. This field w ill then be one of the most interesting aud pleasant pastorates in Virginia-— There is yet for us here a glorious future: the day is not far distant when this must aud will be a strong bold ot the Church of the Reforma tion.

A Visit to Mt Pilgrim Church, Coweta County. Georgia. JItmrs. Editore: It will, perhape, be of some interest to yourselves, as well as the readers of your pajn-r, to know something about the state of tbe Church and the pros(>ects of Lutheranism in this portiou of Geor gia. Eiqtccially do we think it will be highly pleasing to yon to hear something from the mother church of this section. We have long ago heard of Mouut Pilgrim church, and our anxiety was -excited to “couie and see* for our selves, for we thought the name itself was un iting to all pilgrims journey ing in a strange laud. But to our astonishmeut, wbeu we reached tbe long desired sj*ot, w# did not fiud much of the stossl about it. There — r"**viv w iw#*uianci* oe- lw««n the rro/, and tlie picture of it, which we hail formed in our imagi nation. Althoogli we were not at tracted by its commanding ap|>ear- auee situated on some conspicuous hilt, yet, we must coufitos that we were charmed with its location in the midst of a bpautiful shady grove. It is one of the most delightful sites for a country ebunh we have seen. The building in which the congrega tion worship* is comfortable and commodious.

We have never tried to jom to a more attentive and well bebav*! audience. Their eagerness aad am. iety to bear the Master’s message de livered reminded us of anerrat which 8t.

The cliai«k was filled at each evening server but not quite so large in the turn,! ing. As a sketch will be furnUlM you by tbe pastor, giving the remit ef the meeting, we refrain fro* m . ing much about it. We trust, ho*! ever, that some seed were sows apes fruitful spots—even into good, boo*.** hearts—which will ultimately bring forth a rich harvest of fruit to the honor and glory of God. We 0aT in the providence of God, not the bloom, or even bad, of such fruit, while in the flesh j but there is a time coming which shall bring to light not only every' secret thought but tbe result of all oar “labors in the Lord” There is a day appointed iu which the Almighty wiU send bu angel, who will with the soaud of » great trnmpet “shoot the harvest home.” Then, if we meet one n-. deemed .-;»!• it uho has been brought up thither b\ - «-r weak aud uuwortb? endeavors, the crown of onrrejoio ing will l* oontfdetc, and we shall together blew* r " *•! forever and erer.

In the country the people certainly do value the ordinances of God’s bouse, if we may judge irom their promptness aud punctuality in as sembling themselves together for worship. Nor are they afraid or a thawed to make sacrifices to enjoy these blessed privileges. It appears to be a source of spiritual joy ts them w hen they can turn away frt«* their teiuiwral affairs aud repair to “Mount Zion,” where they can wor ship their Creator, Preserver arid Redeemer “in the beauty of holi ness.” They do not regard it ass mere duty to come together for tire HI— chwrrh twenty «r thirty year*, «ot»e tivRMM tsHBcArotl) serv ed, and often wit boat a shepherd, exjwreeii re the isrosd* of other ehsevlies for year* togethet, {mem ;«eriM>u* join the doc trtoro of s ehnrt H, some the pastor, stwl rthef* the t.iimiw i* 1 ), all who solid ha “toward otsM»t by every tala excellent short storto*. -TW | alt, both charge ( owntry Cooain.* sad ^Tha Manor oaro d oar mvmmi keeydag God Aa I reoMsMlmg ««f <hd <4 our church#* (Frodtoaa).
