Excerpt from The American Lutheran Mission, With an Appeal in Its Behalf: Being an Address Delivered at the Meeting of the General Synod of the Evang; Luth; Church, at Philadelphia, May 16, 1845 Within a few years past, however, a new spirit has been awakened; and those who had longed to see the Lutheran church doing her part in the great work of the Redeemer, and who had themselves learned the duty and the value of missionary efforts, have been made to rejoice. She has now fairly embarked in this cause; and may the great Head of the church crown her enterprise with abundant success, and enrich her more and more with his grace.
