think the friends of the i*»pcr might
to renew their diligence in itsliehalf,
iu view of the uufriendly efforts in
another quarter. I ho|ie yon will
not thiuk that Virginia is growing
cold to our Southern Church. We
are still loyal, and though some of us
did not object to meeting with
Council men in free Conference, yet
we would have recoiled in stubborn
self-will from any pro|m«ition of
union with them in Synodical rela
tion. Such union now would lie ru
inous to our church here. I do hope
yon can make it conVenieut to meet
with us at our Synod in Woodstock.
It would go far to strengthen onr
union. Yours, in Christ.”

brethren ; feel grateful to the writer,
and would lie happy to take him by

can not see our way clearly. Then
we do not fee^ that we are needed.
There are tme, and good, and strong
men in the Virgiuia Synod. <>ur
counsel is: ’’Keep clear of the Four
Points, bnt hold fast to the Con

led by the Spirit. Have fervent
charity among yonrsclves. Fear t lod

The America* Lutheran rnrmqiun
dent passed an evening with Sir
Gulling Eardley, who reside* near
London. He writes in the .Istcricas
of July 29: •
The evening 1 *|>eiit in hi* family,
in company with a gentleman from
India and a minister from France,
will not be soon forgotten.
“To what clairch do yon belong,
sir f” said Lady Eardley to ine, i»* I
sat by her side at the tea table. *
“To the Lutheran,” wo* my re
ply.
• “Dear me!” said she; “from the
way in which Sir Culling spoke of
yon, I supposed yon were an Ameri
can bishop. 9
“Well, I am,” I replied.
The following conversation then
arose, to the no little amusement of
Sir Culling jmd his friend from
India, both of whom had seceded
from the Episcopal Church, while
Lady Eardley had continued her
adherence to it.
“Do yon Lutherans believe in
bishops V*
“Certainly, as all onr standards
teach. 9
“And how do you ordain minis

the bishops. 9
“In what, then, do you Lutherans | com j winy,

“In this: we have more bisho|>s
than you, and more dioceses. - We
make every minister settled over
a parish a bishop, and every parish
a diocese. And if you wonld do so
here in England, you wonld have
far less trouble than yon do. 9
“Well, I have never understood
the difference between you and ns
before; and I do not know but that
it would lie a great improvement
upon our church to introduce your
system iuto England. What do you
think, Sir Culling V *
While lie made no reply, laughing
merrily at the badinage, I have no
doubt but that he heartily assented
to the improvement it wonld make
in England to convert every parish
into a diocese, and every good min

tainly save them from such flares-up
as the Philpotts of Exeter make.
