St. Paul's Lutheran Church was a
place of special interest on last Sunday
and crowds flocked into the beautiful
edifice. The altar was beautifully dec
orated with green leaves and choice and
rare flowers, among which the beauti
ful calla lily was Suspended;-prominent
over, tho altar was the sentence -irijargcv
gilt lettersr'God - Bless our Pastor,"
and on either side of the pulpit alcove
was tho sentence, "Our Cares, Our Joy
and Our Aims are one."
- . 1 1 t
The congregation should, as we know
they do, consider themselves peculiarly
fortunate in securing the services of Mr.
Peschau. He is gifted as a linguist and
possesses those talents and 'qualifica
tions which at once pla?e him in a
high sphere of usefulness.
At II A. M., Rev. F. Wi Conrad, D.
D., of Philadelphia, and editor of the
Imthcran Observer, occupied the pulpit
and preached a most excellent discourse
in 1 Cor. 23, "But! we prpach Christ
Crucified." The learned divine, who
has occupied and adorned sonie of the
best pulpits of the Lutheran church in
this country, numbering1 from 500 to
1,000 members, during the past forty
years of his life, has lost but little power
physically and certainly none mentally.
Preaching without manuscript or note
and doing it so well as not only to draw
and gain the attention of his hearers,
but drawing them hearer to himself and
nearer to his subject, he developed some
of the grand truths hidden in the text
and although he spoke for fifty minutes,
none were tired of hearing him . It was
a masterly discourse, full of good
truths, powerful and convincing ar
guments, pointed sUd striking il
lustrations and calculated to jdo
the heart and mind good. There was
no gusli or attempt at sensationalism.
Onejof the grandest things we ever
heard was the development of one of
his points, to-wit : Christ the only true
solution of the problem of man's salva
tion in the moral universe. No one can
hear the Doctor yithout being con
vinced that he is a great man; and that
the Lutheran church iinay be! proud of
such a divine. Kev. Ifrof. L. A. Bikle,
of Mt. Pleasant, who needs no intro
duction to this community, conducted
the altar services. Although the church
was full in the morning, the evening
service (during, which the installation of
Rev. F. W. E. Peschau, as pastor, took
place, saW the church crowded from
end to end. Dr. Bikle, representing the
North Carolina Synod of the Lutheran
Church, was the first speaker, and ad
dressed himself to the pastor electjdeliv
eringto him an appropriate and jexcel
lent charge and advice. Dr. Bikle was
peculiarly happy and felicitous in his re
marks. He at once attracted, and chain
ed the" attention" of 'his audience. He
has a fine voice, and speaks with an
eloquence but seldom found in the pul
pit. '
After the singing of a hymn, Dr.
Conrad charged the people, and Jic did
it successfully too. His hits at the
church members who see only others'
imperfections, and have no deficiencies
themselves,, wore well put. It would
be hard to. add to, jor take from, the
charge any thing without spoiling. Such
truths, and put in such a way as the el
oquent speaker put them!; can but do
good. They should be repeated in a
hundred installations, and enunciated
and emphasized on other occasions.
Having finished, he closed the Bible
and asked the kind indulgence of the
audience for a few moments
and, to
their astonishment,
gave a
synopsis of
his address in German.
Drt Bikle, turning to the congrega
tion, asked the council if Rev. F. W.E,
Peschau had been properly elected, and
had accepted the call extended
to him ;
whereupon Mr. II. B.
President of the Council
Eilers, Vice
if we are not
mistaken, gave to Dr. Bikle a copy of
the call signed by tile Council, and fur
ther certified, orally, of the choice of
the congregation in I the selection of the
Reverend gentleman. j
Rev. Mr. Peschau, seated in front of
the altari facing the pulpit, I arose and
walked to the altar, ! and the j members
of the Council, two in number, arose
and stood with him. Dr. Bikle, hand
ing him the call, properly signed, ex
horted him to fidelity, questioned him,
declared him duly installed and offered
prayer, at tqa conclusion of which tho
Council took its seat, and the choir sung
touchingly "Greetings to a Pastors
Kneeling at the altar, Rev. Mr. Peschau
offered up the prayer prescribed in the
WILMINGTON, N. C, TUESDAY. MAY 23J :188&
liturgy, arose to his feet, conducted the
liturgical service and closed with' a "abort
address in German and in. English,
of which we give the following- synop-
The public ratification of my choice
as Pastor of this church j has : a double
meaning. To install, to induct, means
to lead into. , I am not simply bound to
the communicant members of thii
church, bnt according to the usages ipf
the Lutheran Church which believes
in a settled ministry I become a mem
ber of -your community. I have come
to stov.k Mv predecessor' rjeht . twelve
yGara;h!e
rae not lonly into ydur city as a pastor,
but into your homes, and may God
grant that as an humble ambassador
of our Lord Jesus Christ, I may bo led
into your hearts, j The beautiful words
and thoughts in gilt i letters on yonder
w all, express our reciprocal relations ;
'Our cares,our joya, our aim are one."
Our interests are as closely interwoven
as our fingers are when we fold
our hands. Every tap of the fireman's
bell shall arouse my sympathies, every
conflagration cause me sorrow, every
dire calamity make me suffer with you.
I shall pray at the bedside of your sick,
and weep with you o'er your dead ones,
at the open grave. Every storm-cloud
will b e black to me as well as to you.
But our joys are one. . The same sun,
shines on us, the same blessings make
us rejoice and "our aims are one." We
long, we strive-for. Heaven. As you
have been inducted, led into the church
bv baptism and confirmation, and as I
have been led into it here by these ser
vices, and as the church is the door into
Heaven, may God grant that it may
open to our approach to the better land;
jind may it lead us into the joys, happi-;
ness and bliss of eternal life and eternal
rest, to God's honor and glory and our
salvation: and then your prayer "God
bless our Pastor," wilf be answered and
our work be not in vain.
Long Will be remembered by the
Lutherans of Wilmington, the interest
ing services of last Sunday. All was
auspicious,. the .weather was, fine, the
attendance excellent and the interest
general. The congregation is , united,
its work harmonious, pastor and people
pleased with each other and nothing-, as
far as we canlearn,s unpleasant in any
way in the church.! Maythisj happy
state of thin cs lona: continue to this
church and be found in other churches.

Pleasant Hours,
There was a pic-nic at Bordeaux's
Mill, in Pender county, on the 10th
inst., at which the beauty and gallantry
of Pender and the adjoining counties
were assembled. ! The tables were load
ed with an abundance of dainties and
luxuries for hungry mortals. Sweet
music furnished the measure for the
merry dance; and the day was spent in
merriment, innocent recreation , and
amusement, with nothing to mar the
hilarity of the occasion. We regret that
we were unable to be present, and also
regret that our space will not permit us
to give in full the report of the day's
pleasures kindly furnished by a corres
pondent who was present, and' who it
seems, luxuriated m a goou uiue geu

JA new enterprise new for this local
ityhas been started here by two of our
lady residents, one-'residing on Third
street and the other on Front street.
These ladies sent off North" this" " Spring
and bought 10,000 silk-worm eggs.
They have had two rooms of the upper
story in each house fitted up for the pur
pose and have gone regularly into the
business of raising silk worms. These
worms require the entire time and at
tention of one man. , He goes out each
day and gathers a bushel of mul
berry leaves which the worms consume,
they being fed every two hours. When
the eggs arrived here, the weather was
quite warm and the eggs were put on
ice to prevent them hatching too soon.
The worms are all out how, and some
of them are so far advanced that it is
expected they will begin spinning this
week. The Ladies' Industrial Society
of New York will buy all of the cocoons
these ladies can offer for sale.
A third lady, also a resident of Wil
mington, proposes to go even more ex
tensively into ' the business, and with
this object in view has had planted a
large number of mulberry trees at her
summer residence at the Sound. These
young trees are thriving and promise
