THE BREAD OF ST. JODOKUS.
FaOM TBS GERMAN OF KCSEGAKTZK
To prove how pure a heart bis servant bore.
One day the Lord to Bt. Jodokus’ door
Came begging bread in garments worn and poor.
■* Good steward,” spake St. Jodokus, “ give him
Dread.”
alone remains,” the steward said:
“ For th< e hnd me, the faithful dog beside.”
“Give!” skid the saint; “will not the Lord pro
vide f”
The steward marked Hie single loaf with care,
And Cat lour pieces—each nu equal share.
Then to the beggar, in no lrieodly tone,
'* On# each for thee and me. the abbot one.
One lbr tbe dog, since I Can but obey.”
Jouojns smiled ; the beggar went his way.
Not long, and in yet wretcheder disguise,
Once more the Lord asked bread with pleading
eyes.
“ Give him my piece,” Jodokns gently said:
“The Lord provides.” The steward gave the
bread.
Again tbe Lord beside Aie threshold stood.
And, faint with hunge*&fgged a little food.
“ Give him thy portion^A ns Jodokus said;
“The Lord provide*.’ 1 steward ggve tlie
A little while, and naked, blind, and lame,
YtiA fourth time came the Lord, and begged the
“Givn°tbe dog’s piece,”-the holy man replied.
“ The Lord, who feeds the ravens, will provide.”
The steward gave. The beggar left the gate,
And a voice cried alond, “Inj faith is great!
Thy Lord hath proved His servant’s loyalty—
As thou has trusted, be it done to thee!”
The Steward looked, and in the tranquil hay.
Behold four laden ships at anchor lay.
Far Up their sides the water’s dimpling line
Broke-round their holds well stored with bread
{and wine.
Joyfully the steward hastened to the strand.
And saw no man upon the vessel stand;
But on the shore a snow-white banner waved.
Whereon In golden lines these words weregraved:
“ Four ships He sends who doth the ravens feed,
To him who hath four times supplied His need.
One for the abbot, thus the list »egin;
The steward and the dog like portions win,
The lourth is for the sender’s needy kin!"
European Correspondence.
The Churches of Berlin, Prussia.
r i ; 1U
The Churches in Berlin are about fifty
in uiuafberj only a fewuf which have any
thing of special iuterest—historical archi
tectural or otherwise, attaching to them. —
This nnmber is certainly not commensu
rate with the extent of the population—
about 700,000—a large proportion of which
worship God, as one told me yesterday in
my good English, in God’s first temples—
’|he groves—represented to most Berliners
%y the Their Oarten, an immense park
just outside of the city containing 1,500
acrds of wood land. Almost any of our
city,Southern Churches, while lacking in
the magnificence of proportion mid costly
decoration which distinguish these, are
interiorly much more comfortable.
Every Church in Berlin—the new Amer
ican chapel' excepted—is innocent of car
pet br cushion or adequate means of warm
ing satisfactorily. The American chapel,
principally through the energy and liber
ality of the late American Ambassador—
Qpv. Wright— and his wife, is now near
ly ready for dedication, being beautifully
and tastefully fitted up after the manner
of the best ordered American Churches.—
In the wall is a simple and elegant marble
tablet in memory of Gov. Wright, placed
there by the German congregation connect
ed with (lie Methodist Mission here, who
begged the privilege of being themselves
allowed to present this memorial of their
regard and appreciation of his noble Chri
stian character.
The Dome—the Royal Church—stands
in the Pleasure Garden, near the Royal
Palace. It is the work of Schenkel, but
-fioefl small credit to bis genius, bearing no
comparison with cathedrals iu other large
citips—St.Paul’s or Notre Dame, or the
Dome at Cologne, or tbe Magdeburg Ca
thedral, or a score of others .that could be
mentioned. Thejportafc is supported by
two fluted lonic columns, while ifi the
nicbes stand three colossal angels elabor
ately chased in copper—Tioca’s models.
In the interior, the roof is supported by
Corinthian columns. The altar enclosed
by hn iron rail, is adorned with figures of
the! twelve Apostles, modelled after those
at Nurenburg, the altar piece being the
•Dfescent of the Holy Ghost” by Begas.
Thp half length likeness of tlteApostlo Pe
ter was a present from Pope Leo XII.
Tbe Church is the burial place proper of
tbd royal family, and contains the remains
of the Great Elector, and Frederick I. in
gilded coffins. In the North endare effigies
in bronze of the Electors John Cicero and
Jo&cMta, while on the West side i.re the
coffins of the 'Queens, Sopnia, Charlotte
and Dorothea.
'the most interesting feature of tbe Dome
is its fine singing, which is led by a choir
m fifty boys under the most scientific direc
tion, and is said to be the best in Europe
—that in the Sistine Chapel at Rome be
ing second best and the Emperor’s choir
at Bt. Petersburg next in excellence —these
being the only ones at all worthy of being
brdufdtit into the comparison.
Tbe three most memorable Churches in
tht city are St. Nicholas, St. Peters and St.
On one of the walls of St. Nicho
laif—a Gothic edifice of different periods—
we read, Rebuilt in 1223.* Not improbably
for seven hundred years has faithful pray
er from fervent hearts ascended from this
spot. In many different lauguages, it
miy be, but animated ell by the mind
which was in Gbrist Jesus, have millions,
kneeling around these consecrated' altars,
besought, ‘ Give us this day our daily 1
bread,” etc. This Church, dedicated to
St. Nicholas, St. Martin and St. Catherine
received as early as 1802 from the papal
legate, Raymond, an indulgence for one
hundred days for ali who would here do
peuauce. Iu the year 1539,under Jo&lchim
IL, it was solemnly consecrated as a Luth
eran Church. It is, what the oldest, not
necessarily the largest, Church in every
place, must be, more interesting than any
other. Whatan untold history is con
nected with this venerable buildiDg! If
these Old walls could speak, what a tale
could they unfold! But I must not grow
sentimental.- . ,
St. Patera is, mentioned in ancient re
cords as earlyas 1238. After the original
bfiilding had beqp subjected to unheard of
Vicissitudes of fortune, such as partial de
struction by fire more than once, falling of
steeples, aud various other calamities, the
present building emerged from ruins, a
handsome Gothic edifice in the shape of a
Greek cross. No pains or expense was
spared in ite construction in order to ren
der it acooustically perfect; but it seems
only another Illustration of the frequency
with which faultless theories fail in the
carrying out. It is less adopted than any
Church in Berlin to musical purposes,
soeh as sacred concerts and oratorips, not
withstanding its magnificient organ, one
of the largest and finest ever built by
Buckhols. The Church has experienced
such a series of disasters in the time past,
that we listen there even to the rendering
of Mogart’s Requiem in fearapd trempiing
—with feelings very nearly akin to those
With which, twelve or fifteen years ago, we
we sat in the comfortable? jails on the
Camden and
That the Church oTat-Marynas a his
tory is announced from the outside and
confirmed by all its internal decorations
and furnishing. Just before the, door
stands a stone cross, commemorative of
the death of the Provost Nicholas from
Eernau, whom the Berliners murdered,
afterwards burning his body in the New
Market Place. Thereafter for many years
was the wholecity put under the ban of
the Church'by the Bishop Brandenburg.
1 No ringing of Church bells was permitted,
MACON. GA., SDN LUX SEPTEMBER % 186 TANARUS,

brethren, everywhere known for their
good works and lahpcsofJove, -was con

The interdicLwaa'tflter tweuty-tvfo years
removed from the city, upon file condi
tions of the purment of a large sum of
money to the Bishop of Brandenburg, the
erection, upon the spot of the murder, of a
stoue cross upou which a lamp should be
kept perpetually burning and the yearly
performance of a mass for the soul 'of the

trophies, Xgilts, propitiary and grateful,
from heroes imploring success for untied
anus, or returniug thauks for granted vic
tory. ■"*>' ■ =*-»«*. .
The Neue Kirche and French Church
stand near either side or the Royal Thea
ter in the Gens d’armes J?lace, and they
bavesome claim to architectural beauty.
They are precisely alike with the excep
tion of the st&tutiigitf utndfaK in tbe niches
d!he pillared p_<w.
andjKwl with Barnabas at Lystra, while
those in the French Church are statutes of
Christ and the Samaritan woman at the
well, Christ preaching on the Mount, aud
the disciples on the way to Emmanus.—
With a tolerance, the result rather of uni
versal skepticism than of a Christian
Catholicism, Frederick the Great had
those Churches built on either side of the
Theatre to afford, as he affirmed, equal
Church and play-going privileges —the pas
sage from Church to the Theatre being
made convenient.
The Dreifaltigkeit Church (Trinity
Church) is plain exteriorily and almost
withour ornament on the inside, being
interesting solely from tt.e interest adher
ing to those who have occupied its pulpit.
It is hard to realize when one hears here a
plain, practical sermon—its burden being,
“Love not the world nor tbe things that
are in the world ?” that from this very
pulpit fcjchleiermacher preached from Sab
bath to Sabbath to aumiring congrega
tions, developing from his “ personal re
igiouß consciousness ,” a system of theology
of wonderful power, and impressing him
self upon the religious thought of Germa
ny and the Christian world with almost
superhuman force. Here also has Krum
macher, whose writings areso well known
in America, preached. He now resides
in Potsdam, about twenty miles fiom Ber
lin, and continues to preach.
St. Matnews emurch is a modern struc
ture in Byzantyne style, and its interior
arrangements are far more inviting and
comfortable than those of any of the
Churches I have mentioned. Its congre
gation is said to be tbe most fashionable
and aristocratic in Berlin. The'Queen
and-other members of the royal family
frequently attend divine service here.—
Your readers will be surprised aud doubt
less gratified, when I inform them, that
from the pulpit of this Church may be
heard,-Sabbath after Sabbath, sermons as
evangelical, .if not as eloquent as are
preached by our own Bishop Pierce. Its
pastor, Dr. Buchsel, occupies official
y one of tbe highest positions in the Gov
ernment Church—the evangelical Church
of Germany—aqd is noted for the purity
of his character, his zealous devotion to
his ministerial duties—his fine social qual
ities which win for him the love of his
flock, especially of the children, and the
sjmple, earnest, affectionate style of his
preaching. He the pastor of this
Chruch for more than twenty years, and
lie has never once failed to occupy thepul
pit on Babbatli, except during forced ab
sences from the city.
The form of worship of the Evangelical
Church is very simple and impressive.—
Short prayers at intervals during the ser
vice, reading of lessons from the Bible,
singing aud preaching. There are no re
sponses iu the Liturgy to be used by the
congregation. The sermons are generally
an exposition of some passage of Scriptui’e
consisting of-several verses. You hear
little learned exegesis or profound litho
graphy ; often an impressive reading of, a
parable, a Simple explanation of its im
port, an affectionate exhortation, under
standing siuging, and fervent prayers
make up the religious part of the morning
services. I say religious part, because the
numerous notices of betrothals, which al
ways consume considerable time, hardly
■truck me as such.
The music in the Berlin Churches is a
specialty. Every Church has an organ, but
the organ playing is always secondary to
tbe singing, which is more strictly "con l '
gregational than you hear in America.—
Sometimes the choir, on special occasions
and at stated times, sings alone, but this is
of as rare occurrence, as when some of our
brethren with sweet voice and commenda
ble, sings alone before service, “When for
eternal worlds we steer,” etc., or some
other new hymn to which the others lis
teu admiringly but not with the feeling,
that they are shut out from all participa
tion in the singing. The melodies of the
hymns are of the simplest character—well
represented by "Monmouth” and “Old
Hundred.” I have never once heard a
Cadenza attempted on au ambitious scale.
You may hear the beautiful “Beta" any
evening in the Opera House, or at Krolls
when “i)«r Freyschutz” is given, but never
id Church. The melody may be all com
posed Within the compass of an octave.
As you enter the Church, you see thenum-i
her of the hymns posted iu prominent po
sitions, and as all the hymns have their
own melody you know in all cases what
willbesung. Hence the congrgeratlon is all
well prepared to join in the singing as the
choir itselfi . >Tlie business of tbe organ
aful cht.ii is simply to lead the congrega
tional singing—nothing more isattempted
—hence the organ interludes are always
short and simple. No one ever dreams of
joining a Church choir here for the pur
pose of displaying the powers of the voice
and gaining applause thereby. I imagine
that If a Berliner Were to hear thie organ
playing and choir singing in some of our
American Churches, he would be as much
shocKed and horrified as the veriest “old
fogy” to be found in the land. The ideas
entertained by the people in regard to the
sacrtdnets of everything pertaining to the
Church and divine worship are highly
commendable and should prevail every
where.
At the appointed hour for service, the
congregation enter the Church as noise
lessly as possible, quietly take their seats,
bow their heads and spend a few moments
in silent prayer—there is no disorder, no
looking about, no whispering, no going
out and coming in, and if a person enters
after services begin, he walks on tiptoe and
attracts ho attention: The most profound
silence is observed, every eye is fixed on
the preacher and every word uttered by
him is heard by all.
Persons in America who condemn in
the bitterest manner everything connected
with German theology and religion know
not what they do. This is the laud of
Luther, and he still lives in the minds and
hearts of the people. His influence can
never dife. There is silently progressing
here a great moral revolution. I verily be
lieve that Jtobmaiisin now exerts more pow
er in America than in Germany. The
doctrines of universal salvation, justifica
tion by faith alone through the merits of
b Christ, the witness of the Spirit and sanc
tification are preached every Sabbath from
the pulpit of the Evangelical Church. .The
King and Queen of Prussia are members
of this Church, and are said to be very
orthodox in their faith. Prussia is now
the most powerful Protestant nation in
Europe,arHl occupies a position which will
enable her to Wield an influence in favor
of a pure Christianity which will be felt
by all nations.
Let ali Protestants everywhere pray that
she may be prepared for her noldfe destiny
and for the grand work she i9 to accom
plish.

Tbe J#wni*el gavaJdv was that I would
saraa
now offer it to the public throughout your
columns:
It will be remembered that among the
many reasons that operated to prevent
the fall of Vicksburg, Miss., when it was
first attacked by Gen. Sherman, and after
wards so laboriously besieged by General
Graut, was the certainty of the iuforma
tion the enemy seemed to get. Notwith
staudingjevery precaution was taken to
prevent spies from obtaining and trans
mittinglnformation—notwithstanding the
river was closely watched to prevent the
least message from being floated down to
Vicksburg—nevertheless information,and
that too of the most po@tive nature, daily
reached ihe enemy, to the great annoy
ance of the .officers' and men, who were
slowly wearing their iiyes away under au
.almost tropical sun, and. also to the morti
fication of the Commanding General.
It is my object, briefly,to show how that
information was transmitted. M. was at
that time au impressed pilot in the service
of the Union army, having iu charge one
of the transports lying below Young’s
Point, on the Westside of the Mississippi.
plan for advising the enemy inside
the garrison of Vicksburg of what was
taking place orcontemplated in the
Union army was simple and effective—so
simple that it easily evaded all attempts*at
detection. During three or four hours of
each day, M., after gathering-from the of
ficers at what information
he desired;—for officers would talk—would
repair to a fat;m house dofrn on the point,
and with a large, mirror which he had pre
viously taken from the cabin of the steam
er, amuse himself by throwing the suo’s
reflection up and down tbe.river, occasion
ally darting the concentrated rays of May
or June sun into the eyes of some gull or
loon, quietly floating on the water, causing
it to dive down or fly up with a half
frighteued shriek, and. iheu turning is full
Upon the enemies works along the Vicks
burg levee. No one thought of suspicion
—no one asked him what he was doing—
for the employment was so simple aud ap
parently abstracted that none thought for
a moment of attributing any other motive
than mere idle pastime.
, But this|was his st cret,previously agreed
upon between himself and Gen. Pember
ton! Vicksburg is mainly upon a high
bluff; the lower hart of the city during cer
tain house of the day being entirely in the
shade. Commencing at the upper end of the
city aud within view, M. had selected
thirteen houses behind and above, these.
To eacli one of these houses a letter of the
alphabet was given. From the window in
the farm-house he threw the reflection
first upon one house, then upou another,
an officer of Pern per ton’s staff in the secret,
at the same time standingon the levee with
his back to Mr., and yet reading every
word easily and rapidly. And he not only
gave informatipn of what was transpiring
:lO tbe Union camp at Young’s Point, but
also gathered from Northern newspapers
important news relative to the movements
of armies elsewhere, sending it across the
river in the same manner.
This plan was kept up until a short time
before Gen. Grant made arrangements for
going bplow Vicksburg, crossing at Grand
Gulf, aud coming upiu the rear. Just be
fore that event M. was ordered to another
point, and consequently the enemy had no
light upon the subject of that last move
wbich finally resulted in the capture of
that stroughold of the Confederacy.
'These facts I obtained from M. himself
while afterward an officer on board one of
our transports with him, and I have every
reason to believe, from experiments made
at the same place, that it was “a plain,
unvarnished tale” he related to me.
Nice Hiding Place.
A TRUE STORY.
One morning I went to my pleasant
schoolroom and found many vacant seats.
Two little scholars who had been with us
a few days before, now lay cold in death,
and others were very-sick. The diptheria
had entered our village and school. The
children were weeping bitterly as I
went in, and some of them run to me
saying:
‘O, teacher, Minnie qnd Georgie are
dead. What shall we do? Do you. think
we shall be sick and die ?'
I touched the bell lightly as the signal
for the opening of the school, and when’
they had all taken their seats, I said :
‘Children, you are all alarmed at the
approach of this terrible disease. Yoti
sorrow for the death, of your mates, and
fear that you too may be taken.
Many of you have asked me: ‘What shall
we do?’ I know of but one way to escape
this trouble, and that is to hide from it.—
If you will listen, I will read yod of a hid
ing place.’
All listened eagerly while I read the
ninety-first Psalm. I made no comments,
but in a few words asked that tbe Com
forter would carry its message to their
hearts. They all seemed hushed by the
sweet words of tbe Psalmist, and morning
lessons weut on as usual.
At noon a sweet litttle girl, named
Lizzie came to me and said:
‘Teacher, are you not afraid of the
diptheria?’
‘No,’ I replied.
‘Well, wouldn’t you be, if you thought
you would be dick and die?'
‘No, dear, I tru9t not.’
Lizzie stopped her questioning and look
ed me full in the face, for some moments,
with thoughtful, wondering eyes, and'her
face brightened a little.
‘O, I know how,’ she said. ‘I know
why you are not afraid. You are hiding
under God's wings. O, what a nice place
to hide. ‘ X thought of that as you read the
chapter.' I wish I could hide there ' too;
then I should not be afraid of the dipthe
ria or any thing else. Is there room for
me too?’
‘Yes, Lizzie,’ I said, ‘room for you and
for every one that wishes to come. Oh !
He longs so much more than you think to
hide you in His armß, to clasp you to His
Heart, to wash out your sins in His own
blood. Used as he is to the music of
heaven, with its choir of ten thousands,
yet it will be far sweeter in His ears to
heat your childish voice whispering:
‘JesOs, thou art my biding place.’ Will
you not say with your whole heart those
piecious words?’
A soft ‘I will,’ was her only answer; but
I trust at that glad hour Lizzie soughtand
found the shelter of.her Saviour’s wing.—
