Wr first give the German title in a*fret* translation: “A Memorial exhibiting a complete statement of the reasons why the Synods convened in tbe Synodical Conference of tbe Evangelical Lu theran Church of North America, are nnable to unite with any of tbe already existing Synods, called Lu theran, in this country. Published by a unanimous resolution of the convention composed of members of the Synods of Ohio, Missouri, Wis consin, Minnesota, and tbe Norwe gian Lutheran Synod, and held in Fort Wayne, Indiana, from Novem ber 14-16, 1871. a A constitution was adopted in the second article of which tbe Confer ence declares its adherence to the Canonical Writings of the Old ar.d New Testameot, and the Confession of the Evangelical Lutheran Cbnrcli of 1580, calli^T*‘Concordia.” Tbe Constitution is subscribed by nineteen clerical members of the Ohio Synod, thirty-three clerical and two lay members of tbe Synod of Missouri, five clerical members of Wisconsin Synod, three clerical mem bers of tbe Norwegian Synod, two clerical members of tbe Synod of Illinois, and one clerical member of the Synod of Minnesota. Tbe Conference is hardly entitled to be called Synodical, ns the laity was only represented by two dele gates. The ministers had it all their own way, and made it a ministerial rather than a Synodical Conference. Tbe object was and is praiseworthy —the nnion of the Latberau Church is tbe earnest desire of all her sous and daughters—bnt the union must be Evangelical, aod not Symbol ini 1; it must be based on the Unaltered Confession, and ndt ou tbe Book of Concord; it mast be a union in which Latherao orthodoxy, Christian liberty, and charity, which is the greatest of these, singly aud together, are enabled to do their perfect work. That the men of the Synodical Conference are symbolically ortho dox, in the most literal, and there fore the moat ricui. contracted >uui to the Lutheran name with a remark able tenacity, but ia in fact rutirdy wanting tbe essential feature* Jar longing to the Lutheran name.” It indeed since 1MH> obligates it* 8>n uds to confesM that “the Augsburg Confession ia a correct exhibition of tbe fundamental doctrines of tbe divine word and of the faith of our church founded upon that word, tail behind thia i* the grievous error concealed, that tbe distinctive doc trines of our ebureh, as, for exam pic, the doclriue of the meau* of grace iu particular is uot held to lie fundamental, but is surrendered an a not) essential dogma.” Tbe Me morialists also quote—page 15, 16— Koin. xvi: 17. and Titus iii: 10, and say : In consequence of thia divine command, it is our duty to keep aloof with tlx utmost diligence, and ou principle to separate from its <'omwuuioii (fellowship) tjecause, not withstanding its Lutheran name and its hy|Micritical confection to the Lutheran Church, the General Synod ia nothing else thau a syncretic aud sectarian t*ommuuiou.” We think these extracts are suit! cieut, and more than sufficient, to show how the Memorialist* measure tbe General Syuod, North. One thing is potent, and that ia : Lutkct- an Mymboliem has, according to this document, the spirit of Jewish earls- sirenesn, and the righteousness of the Pharisee, rather than the spirit of Christ. See Mark ix : 38, 39. We will next give iu full tlie objection to our General Syuod. One thing puzzles us : Neither the Tennessee nor the Concordia Synod is taken tbe least notice of. Are they also tainted 1 A fact which may threw some light on this Memorial is : Rev. Dr. E. Prvuas. who bail to flee from Germany, accused of grow* immorality, who became a prominent member of the Missouri Synod and a professor in its Theological Sem iiiary, aud who, on January the 25th formally recanted every thing he had written and taught against the teach ings of tbe Homan Catholic Church, and wa« then baptized and received into that Church, was a member of I this Synodical Conference.
