Excerpt from Ebenezer: Reviews of the Work of the Missouri Synod During Three Quarters of a Century With grateful surprise the publisher and the editor of Ebenezer have watched the unusually rapid dissemination of this publication during the last weeks. It has surpassed all expectations and necessitated this new edition hardly more than two months after the appearance of the first edition. When it was plain that there would be a second edition, the editor's thought went back at once to a wish, that he had cherished in connection with the first edition, the preparation of a thorough topical index and index of names. There is so much information contained in the pages of this publication that no one realizes the wealth of it without such an index. The index that has been added to the second edition may, on first sight, contain a great many insignificant, yea, tri¿ing references, but the reader who will look a little more deeply into the matter will find that even small villages on the border of civiliza tion and the name of a layman long forgotten may be connected with important movements and developments in the history of the Missouri Synod. It is cheering and heartening, moreover, to behold how the great men in our organization were connected with little things and small people at many points in their ministry of service. With the prayer that the blessing of Heaven may rest upon this renewed and augmented effort to tell a story that is intended to confirm the faith of every Missourian and fill him with cheering hope for the Church's future success, this little volume is sent on its second journey.
