There are in niamy places measures employed, and things done at revivals, of which we disapprove; but onr church is gradually correcting these extrav agances ; revivals are Ixvoming more cljituvhly; the good work is being dope decently and in order; and the elidreh is prosiierouk We iuahitain tiidt wherever the ehurch oeeupies missionarj' ground, it must be built up by special efforts. What these .should be, is for each minister amt dick individual ekirreh to deride. We do not believe that l»ccanxe auy one is an Evangelical Luther an, and true to the Confession and H.^iges of the church, that be there fore must be a dead man.

Our most active, energetic jand liberal givers are found in the true reifival churches. We write “true” purposely, for it can not be denied tltijt wo have some ministers and ehhrches who, although they are constantly revived, ami txxixt of nuiny conversions and large acce* siojns, yet never have anything for tho | Lord’s cause. All such serve God with rnneh noise autl confusion, and that is offensive, unnecessary and unscriptural. These features are, however, passing away.
