It is allowable ami useful to | have a summary oi the fundamental <l*x*trino.H of Christianity for the gab dauce of the church; hut when iron clad creeds of minute detail are urgvsl upon the belief and conscience of men, liable to the rharge of liereay and suspension, evil qnd dixsattstac- tion result, more or leas. Extensive creeds can only lie professed with mental reservation. From various considerate ms they may be sub scribed to, but the right of private interpretation will be claimed. Un inspired men differ in their inter pretalions of the Scriptures, ami the same thing occurs in their ex|dan nitons of obscure artielca of creeds. In these poiuts there it room for the exercise of charity among inter preters and believers. - • It to difficult under any procam of power or education, for one man, or any set of man, to do the think ing for ail mankind, or dictate to the world all the articles of tlwir fidth. When we apply those principles to the condition of the Lutheran Church, mentally amit territorial!} considered, those who desire to bar nioaize her elements, aud carry her safely over the quicksands of sepa ratism and general ceotraftmu, must pursue a middle course.

Ia August, 1867, the lot, new the site of the Chapel, was purchased for $3,900,—George Keetoine and George Fri<*ker kindly loaning fil^ffi of the money without interest, the balance being raised from friends to # the East. On the 14th of November, 1888, the comer stone of the present chattel w as laid aud now the building Is finished.

Tl»e dicourse was listened to . with marked attention, and at thnm the Doctor waxed eloquent; every ear was beut in anxious ex|iectaney and every heart filled with tlx- solemnity of the tKmion. After the rtocr of his sermon, an ajipeul was made and over $tJ08 sulmcrilted. The SuiKlay- arliool excrriiM-s were more than ordinarily interesting. Benicea were advertised to be held in i>oth rooms at the same time, bnt as the morning service was so protracted and many were late coming, it wa* decided to Ik>M it only in the lower room.
