Koehler's Index: 736. 1863, September 11, sent from Berlin by Eichler to Reim. Langenberger und Berliner sind nicht mit der Einrichtung zufrieden, dass Moldehnke Reiseprediger und Professor sein soll. Sie würden dagegen remonstriert haben, wenn nicht die Reisepredigt im Winter danieder läge. Sie schlagen Giese zum Professor vor und wollen auch noch einen zweiten in Aussicht nehmen, aber zuerst die Versicherung haben, dass nur Schüler mit gründlicher wissenschaftlichen Vorbildung aufgenommen werden. Über Böhmers Methodistenschmähung (bes. d. amerikan. Frauen) und seine Zurücknahme energische Vorstellung. Die deutschen Gesellschaften haben offenbar eine andere Auffassung von der Stellung der Synode ihnen gegenüber.

(Langenberger and Berliner are not satisfied with the arrangement that Moldehnke should be a traveling preacher and professor. They would have remonstrated against it if the travel sermon hadn't been cut short in the winter. They suggest Giese for a professorship and also want to consider a second one, but first have the assurance that only students with a thorough academic background will be accepted. About Böhmer's insults to the Methodists (esp. American women) and his withdrawal energetic idea. The German societies obviously have a different view of the position of the synod towards them.)
