The GERMAs LUTHERAN MISSION AT
sVALPARAIso, INDIANA. ~ The German
Church of st. John'e at Valparaiso Was
"a society Vof Euthera6 lwhieh was
brought into our Church about two
years ago, with its pastor, the Rev. Mr.:
jain, who, about q year ago, was muir
dered by guerrillas willis travelling in
Missouri. The Rev Ig6atins Koch, g
German, has succeeded Mr.. jain. and
is engaged 10 earnest eforts,to secure a
church for this Interesting but feeble
Congregation, who have raised among
themselvea about 81, 900 for this pur-
pose. Dr.. Koch. has been East for this
object, with strong commentators from
Bishops Uphold and Talbot He has
found much difficulty from the pecu>
liarly pressing and numerous demands
for other objects just at this time, but
we hope that this appeal may result in
making up, by the number of small
sums sent him BY mail, the larger dona-
lions which he should have received on
bis personal applications This little.
colony bf I Germans coming into our
Church should not find the door of aid
and sympathy closed against them.
They need $4,000 to secure their church,
Contributions may be directed to the
Rev. Mr.. Koch. at,5Velparaiso, Indiana.

DIOCESE OF CoNNEcTIcuT, vel
December 5, 1865. p
The circumstances of the German
congregation mentioned by Bishop. Tal-
bot in his note, are peculiar They had
raised a large sum-for them-towards
building their church The guerrillas
who murdered Mr.. jain robbed him of
81 900, which leaves the congregation
destitute to that amount, more than they
expected. I do feel that their claim on
our sympathy 10 very. real and strong.
u ayJN j. Williams, Bishop
