Notice to Postmasters.—Postmasters through
out the country will save trouble by obeying the
laws in regard to newspapers, eta When a paper
remains dead in the office for four consecutive
weeks, it is the duty of tho postmaster or his
deputy ^6 send the publisher of the paper a written
notice of the fact—stating, if possible, tho reason
why the paper is not taken. The returning to
the .publisher of a paper marked “hot taken,”
“refused,’’ or “uncalled for,” is not a legal
notice.
Why Hotf
There is' not within' the bournls of
the Church in the South, an orphan
house,' nor a hospital for the sick,
nor a place to shelter our aged poor.

Ah well, blood is thicker than

We disagree, but we also agree; and
the points abont which wo a£ree are
more by far, than those in regard to
which we differ. Wc are an Army

Changes on the Fourth Page
We iffteM to have three depart
ments under 1 the general head, The
Family; denominated, Parents,
Youth, Children. Jlneh as parents
and children need to Wfe instructed
and interested, there is an interme
diate class, whose very exfoftnee,
tS Say nothing of its wants,' is
igndrOfl. 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-

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;. If parents, pastors and
others would only keep their eyes
open, there are Scores of incidents
occurring in their experience, that
could be worked up into most ac-
tojrtable and valuable articles for
this part of the paper. Nothing
interests the young more than
stories; especially if they believe
them.to be “sure enough stories,”
and by furnishing such and i-ointing
them with it moral; they are both
pleased and profited. Brethren and
sisters, how will you account for
buried talent, of this kind; when
once “God riseth upF
Another change we propose to

Tho Decaloguo—The Lutheran Division.
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.
