-74— the extent must be considered. The church has two wings, each 70 to 80 feet long. Although many heretics remain, Liickhoff has almost all influence on them. The school, in which there are 400 children, baptized and unbaptized, is a sight that moves one so much. In the 1st grade, the children who are prepared for baptism and confirmation have through- schnitted such knowledge that one cannot find such knowledge in Europe among the Christians. In the 2nd grade, such children who can read and are taught the basics of language, are a cause of most astonishment. In the 1st grade, the children who are preparing to be baptized and confirmed, the children are very surprised. In the 2nd class, such children who are able to read and are taught the basics of language, are the children that cannot speak, and who often say three or four biblical sayings. All is taught playfully. The children sing spiritual songs, say the ten commandments, and believe them – pray the VHUWUTSH. They sing the sons of Jacob and the Apostle, or one child speaks, and the whole school speaks out loud, so they begin to teach English and the teachers go around like the officiers of soldiers. One sees the children playing from the streets, but altogether different from Germany. One hears no screams and no laughing – they play, not what is happening in the school, singing psalms, reciting the scriptures, singing prayers, and reciting biblical stories. Brother Lückhoff says, that the children preach to the parents, because they do not allow them to speak in the house, which is not that they speak in the house. This has been done by his faithful servant, our dear Brother Lückhoff in 23 years. May He grant us also much benefit and His blessing upon our town. He knows nothing greater on earth than for his own salvation, souls to win.
