It is invulnable for all accountants, millers, cattle dealers, merchants, bankers, builders, engineers, and the rest of mankind. “Give a row of figures as long os from the reader to Winchester, Va., where the General Synod meets, and by the time the last figure has been jotted down, the “ Adder" will have registered tbe exact sain, though it be to the extent of tens of 10111100*.” It can be carried in the breast pocket, and is a handsomely finished Tablet, mode of rase wool, having eight sil ver-plated slides let into groove* in its face, alternately with rows of uouerals, 1, 2, 3, 4, G, fi, 7, 8, 9, stumi**l above each Slide, one for each denomination—say units, tens, hundreds, thousands, Sc., indefinite ly—and is operated by placing an ivory or bone pencil in small boles in tlie slides under tfa* numbers desired to be added, and moving to the right or left as the rules direct.

Bat whifat 1 ocknowk «lge the tsv'Wil bestowed, I do uot eoiioeive that we shall be true to eur treat to amtiune to send our Theoiogiaal students to I'liilsdeiiJiMi, aud make no effort to afford them theological hpuning at home, equal to that they reeaive at Bhihuleiidtia or elsewhere. Indeed, I can not cuucutvo that a Northern Hontinary can fully su|q>lyr oar neoossitfas any more than a Northern college, or a Nort Ihtd paper, or a Northern Synod or Council. It fa not with any vindictive feel fag* that 1 utter three remarks, but because I honestly believe it to be the interest of the Church m the Booth, to build up her iaetitotfauaat home, that her reenuroea may he property devetoped, aud ber efficiency established We might almost os well auppoae that tbe interest* of tbs Charnh fa the North would be as ef ficiently subserved by sending her TVologieal atndents to Ennqie to study Theology, as the Interest* of the Church here would, hy sendiug oan to i'hifadelphia. Away, thee, with such an idea, iiet ns at once determine to carry the resofatfona of our General Synod into effect. Ini ns labor aud pray for the establishment of such a Beau- nary as we used each as wifi beat snbaervr tiie interest* of the Church and etBciaUly promote the glory of Ho«l I>e« the Committee do it* (luty take bold of tbe matter, and kindle on rnthnaiaain fa h11 our Synods on the subject of location, and also srud 0(i many strung bids to tbe General Sy nod, in tlie way of subscriptions, or pledges of rnouey to build Um Seminary, Ac. Then, if Salem doea not offrr as great, ar greater inducements for the location of the Seminary thau any poiut, we ah all cease to advocate its claim to the honor. Having determined upon a loca tion, other and important work will have to be dono. Suitable buildings must be erected as soon as practica We. These, we think, should be fur nished by the community iu which tbe Semiuary fa located. The moral and pecuniary advantage* of such au Institution to any community in which it may be located, will be very great- Then the Faculty will have to be supiMM-teil. Whilst we believe the members of it should demand ai moderate compensation os their cir ruuistances will admit, during the first years of its history; it will, nevertheless, be tbe duty of the Gen eral Synod, as speedily as iMMsible, to provide for the endowment of tlie Seminary- For this purpose, au ef ficient agent should be appointed by the General Bynod to canvass all jhe By nods systematically and thorough ly, to collect money, aud take sab script ion*. Or, perhaps, it would be •bettw^till to let each Synod endow ooe (mitessorship, in such manner as it may deem best I can not eloae this article without Messrs. Editors: Op tbe edit prist {■age of the Imthereln (Amrrrtr, or March lltb, there occur certain pe culiarities that I am unable to oisler stand, aud I am seruaisiy of opinion that the good editor himself fa siim. fariy ait listed. We will glance over the page by columns iu *um-!«k». The first roloou fa taken up, M usual, fa pntHng tbe qaarto form of the paper. The second column fa beaded, “Theological Radicalism•— The remarks upon this subject begin thus: “Boston fa the liot-bed of tUdicaliKm. From tlie ‘Hah,’ as its <’••uti'e, it semis Its radiations abroad. Tbe Radicals are Free Thinkers, ruitarfana, I mvcraalfaU, Spiritual’ isis," Ac. After quoting largely from the Uostou papers the infamous and blasphemous utterance* of certain reverend gentlemen, fa cuds with these remarks: “Then* are some of the legitimate results of No-C«eed ism. * • • Bcginufag with no creed but tfa Bilde, they eutl with '""“"Lao faith in the Bible.” “Good” ild not' thought L It pleased me to see the at that t;^ neni j Kj inff, through its accred ited organ, thus boldly faU out with Boat oh, and thus I Mildly repu diate its moral, or rather its immoral, teachings. 1 cast my eye forward to rahumi No. 4. Here this heading arrexted ijr attention, “7*e action uf Pig month church." Th s action iimafafed of aetting aside the Greed ar arridrs of Faith, and admitting meialnrsfe i-ooiaiitti ion by covenant.

Tlie reason assigned fiw this irregular proceeding is, “setting aside the creed.” After rending the entire article, I said aloud, “•pod.” Tlm good ttlitor has evidently iv|M-nted of having beM a mix-ting, some years ago, hw the guml at Imtherae- in ITynumth ehntvh.'iii Braoklyti. iu preference to St. Jiium-k' ehureh, of New York.

I have even fouml ex cuses for him, in my mimi, on two grounds: first, Beecher hod not then “let down his bar*;” unit, seouadly. the editor was not then editor-in.-efaef.

But who could believe it— credat Jndeene A pet! a.’ be quotes H. W.

What <loes the Editor mean by Hrmbolism t Does he mean a rigid adherent* to the symbols sf tfa church l Ito can menu nothing else, and mean anything at all. Then what are tfa symbols of tfa IiUttorsa Church, for instance 1 Evidently the Augsburg Confession, the distinctive creed of the church, so ably defended by our Editor, iu the seooud column of his editorial page, together with tfa laferpreLotion*, ajxfaigirs sod defences of that creed, by the most- learned and pious men of our ehntch- If throe lead to lUtioiudisw, what» pity it fa tliat three hundred and fifty years efaimud before this wou- derful discovery was made!
