There are those who profess adherence to the doctrines of Christ, but who do many things which we do not approve. 2. We obeervo in the conduct of John an aptness to imagine that those who do not agree with as do not follow Christ at all. He then pointed out the Causes of this, to wit : Inordinate self love, bigotry and a partisan spirit, an idle and pragmatic temper, and a retails tive disposition. Snch being some of the causes of the present lack of charity in the church, the speakes^next noticed the remedies to be applied for its cure. He exhorted his hearers to this end to gnard against self-love, bigotry and party spirit, to check an idle and fault-finding temper, to attend to their own condnct rather than that of their neighbor, and not to call down lire from heaven, except it be the fire of divine love. True religion is the glory of man ; let us not tarnish it, with oar unhallowed passions. The character of the Lu theran Church is in a great measure entrusted to our hands.

A considerable portion of the eee- gregations in connection with thi* Conference was represented by by delegates, who were entitled to equal rights and privileges with the nil istars. The nsnal committees were appointed. The exercises on Friday were opes- ed by the former President, Rev. & Henke), after which Rev. J. N. Stilt wait preached an appropriate ser mon.
