LUTHERAN MISSIONARY WORK.
THE Lutheran Witness states that German Lutheran missionaries have met with gratifying success among the Mohammedan Malays, on the island of Sumatra, 12,000 of whom have become professing Christians. The General Council will also, in the near future, send more men to their field in Rajahmundry, India. The same paper says that the Berlin City Mission Society is more successful than ever in its sermon distribution. The weekly edition is now 130,000. Of these 18,000 are used in Berlin among those whose work does not permit them to attend the church services; 67,000 go to other parts of Prussia, 25,000 to other German countries, and 6,500 to other parts of Europe. The Dresden Society publishes an edition of 12,000 each week, of which about 1,300 go to other countries than Saxony.
