Synod convened Jnoe the 8th, in
Dayton,' Ohio. Dr. Baum ooih!acted
the qpening services according to the
Book of Worship, and Dr. Pohlman
delivered the Synodical sermon.—
The Doctor took his text from Mark
vii : 3jj^ 40, and deducted two lessons
from his text: *
1. 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. We are
either betraying it or honoring it.
Let us awake to a sense of our grave
responsibility. If any one of the

od, convened in 8t PauFs (hoick,
near Newport, Page county , Ta, as
Friday before the 4th Sunday «f
May, and continued its scmms til

The Conference was organised is
the nsosl manner. The oScen
elected are: Rev. 8. Henkel, Pres
dent} Rev. J. 8. Bennick, Secretary;
and Rev. J. N. Stirewalt, Treasurer.
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. On Saturday an nnnsasly
large congregation having assem
bled, Rev. J. 8. Bennick preached •
sermon, aide and well adapted to the
occasion. The pastor, Rev. 8» Heft
