The returning to the .publisher of a paper marked “hot taken,” “refused,’’ or “uncalled for,” is not a legal notice.

There are those whom wfc call Tohik j to whose wants the matter furnished both for parents anil chil dren, is not exactly adapted; they are not so matured as the former, and not so inexperifriFed as the latter, and therefore feel that they are overlooked in making irfi the pa- ftbf: How wp wish to correct this deftef; and hereafter have sotfte matiFf ftntlcr the caption of Youfli; exactly suited to their capacity and Grants. But inay we not appeal again to ministers and laity, male and female, to comTe to the rescue, and help us to make this deimrtment of our paper all that it should be ! It is asking too mnch at our hands to do all;.

A brother*wrote us lately that a minister of another church had made himself mercy over him, ami stigmatized him as ail' ignoramus for calling the eommmidmvnt, requiring obedience to parents, the fourth, in stead of the fifth. That gentlepiau only displayed liis own ignorance, and proved at the same time, that lie was. iftterly wanting in true Chris tian' charity and fraternal courtesy. A true brother nnd a real Christian gentleman would have acted very differently. It does not mutter to us what he and others of that ilk think or say ; we know that we differ from other churches, and have no desire either to Conceal or to remove these differ ences; we consider them our excel lencies and bounties, and prefer, on that very account, the Lutheran ChiirCh* to all others, Our “gainsayers” may laugh and revito as much as' they choose, tlw Lutheran Church reiuaius neverthe less the evangelical church, built uI>on the everlasting foundation, which is Jesus Christ. There are, however, those in our English Luthcniu churches who are unacquainted witii our reasons for having a division Of the command incuts different from that of the Calvinistic churches; we write for their information. Three different divisions of flic commandments, aecoYding as the first ami the teuth eommamlmcnts sire arranged, exist. The first, adopted by the Jew s at present, makes Kvislns 20: 2: *1 am the Isird thy God,* etc., the first; ami Exodus 20: It; It: “Thou shaft have ho other Goift lief,ire iiie," etc., tho second commandment. The secohll, wmcft is that followed by the (Ireek nnd Calviuistie churches, includes in our command meut, the tenth, the prohibition against covetousness. Tlie tbinl division, wliieli is the oiliest ami most general, is that re- CCived by the Rouiau and the Lit thCriin ch un-bos. It is* in reality a small matter how tlie commandments are divided, pro ridied nil are fWaimtl. Tin- arrange ment in the Scriptures differs. In Exodus, “Aom.Ic* is placed tx-forc “tri/c” In Deuteronomy, “irife" is pill first, ami “Ais .field” is addeil. Onr Saviour liittis»-lf gives a differ ent arcangement from tluit in Exislus in Mark 10: It). Bis-also Romans 13: !),\iml James 2: 11. Order, however, demands a uni form division, and Lutherans have good and satisfactory reasons for ad- hering to that which Luther lias given in tlie Catechism. We re mark : 1st: Our division has been in use in almost tile entire Christian Chnreli, since 8t. Augu/ttinc's time, fonr hun dred years' after Christ. 2d. It is sustained, as regurds the first and tlie second Commandments, by the Paraschioth; >Srhich is oilier thau th$ Talmud, tfie latter de clares distinctly that the Carasi-hiotli must be carefully regartlefl by the transcribers of the law. 3d. It is highly probable that this division was in existence long Wore Ahknstine, who very likely received it ffotii Egypt, where the authority of the Scjitiuigint may have caused its ndoptWAi: 4th. EphMMtm 0: 2, indicates also that the sceout! table must have commenced with the fourth com mandmeut : “HonoT- fhy father,” etc. Tlie first table containing the three commandments, teaching onr duties to God; and the second (able, our duties to ohr fellow-men in the re- uininHtg seven. oth. ftxo<lns20: 4and5, forbidtfttig the worslitfi of idols, are explanatory of the genCrtil prohibition in verse 2, and are therhfbre not a new and dis tinct commandment. . (ith. There is also an essential difference between flits covetousness of the nihth and that of the tenth eointnandment. In the iitntli original sin, the root of all evil, tft the tenth the fruit, concupiscence, evil Inst, is condemned. 7th. Three mid seven art* noly numbers, while the division In ftmr and six derived no support front fHF Scriptures. 8tlf. Tilt division Into three and seven 111 jet also the tio tables more evenly tlitfti the tlivisioil in fonr and six does. Oth. Luther retained till*. division he formed, thdiig'li he laid rib ilrirticn- lar stress on it. We disagree liiiii find fault■ with ho bnftlier or chnreli for differing from ns oh tins point, i»rbvide<l tlie ten coimiiahdinents, tlie whole J)e<- Lutheran wc df course follow Luther. Two diflhrent’ divisions of the Deca logue iy use in the same church must necessarily cause eouftisiou. (bie minister uiay, in a seruiou, use the expression: “ the tliird eoiiimund- meut,” and many will lie utterly una ble to understand him; for iiis third is tlieir foiuih. Another declares that the eighth commandment is often broken by intelligent anil edu cated Christians, and some frcl invol untarily for their {tucket-books, while others iieareonseieiiei' res{M>nd : Thou nrt the man. Tlie Geruiau and Heaiidinai inn Lntlienuis have held fust to Luther's division; it is too late for American Lutherans to intnsluoc another. And why should they try to do it t Onr division is clmrehly ; it gives ns everycouiuiundniciitcomplete; tin-re are no valid reasons against, lait many strong miaous for it; let ns tlierefore leave it as we have received it. Only a eontemiinlile s|>ii-it of ac commodation, tluit undermines and ultimately destroys ail cliun-hly in dividuality, aud which lias already wrought so much of harm to our English churches, wislies aud en deavors to have it otherwise.
