there is not a place within our

some, is.a much better location for a

active workers. And yet we do
know that onr General Synod ha*

We promised in No. 177 to tell onr
readers what this pamphlet contains,
and now begiu to comply with our
obligation to keep our promise. 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
