The following is the report of its actiou: The “Basis of Cuion” between the North Carolina aud Tennessee Syn ods, agreed upou by the respective committees from these bodies, was unanimously adopted by the Syuod, and the hope was expressed that the Tennessee Syuod wonld also ratify said basis at its next meeting, and the union consummated. Auother item of importance was the follow* Resolved, That we dissolve our connection with “The Evangelical Lutheran General Synod in Xorth AmericaThis resolntion was passed with bnt one dissenting vote. The main reasons nrged in favor of this dissolution were the un-Lutheran tendencies of said body, and its inef flcieucy. It appears just a trifle singular that the General Synod South, which is too “unf-Lutheran” for the Synod of North Carolina, is yet quite “Lutherau” enough for the leaders of the General Council, who are making such extraordinary and superaervioe able efforts to persuade the Southern General Synod to unite with the council.—Observer; felt sure he would recover.
