Glad Tidings.—We have just learnt that tbe Ixml has blessed Bro. Snyder Mount Jackson, Va. We truly rejoice to hear it. Among those who have been confirmed are an aged and a younger friend of ours of many years standing. x Up and Doing.—Efforts are beiug made to build a Lutheran church at Senoia, Coweta County, Ua., and another at St. John’s, Spaulding Connty, Ga. A Healthy Sign.—Tbe people of——- are in want of a minister. They are surfeited with eloquence, their church has almost !>cen killed with overdoses of sensational rheto ric; they want the pure milk of the word to restore them to life, and are looking out for a plaiu, solid preacher. It is a fact that all these seusatioua) preachers, these flowery ranters, go up like rockets and come dowu rap idly like sticks. They accomplish nothing : hay and stnbble! A Layman’s View.—“I have at tended the meetings of Synod fre quently, and am sure that there are only two or three charges in South Carolina that will not give a minister $000 a year and provisions almost snfficient to keep him, If he will attend to his ministry. But our people will not support a man who farms or merchandizes.” The Best.—Orthodoxy is better that heterodoxy. In the end it is only of right believing that good will come. Bnt tbe soundness should be real and vital. There is a good deal of orthodoxy abroad that is like a drum. Yon can get no music out of it until yon take two sticks and pound it. influence of the suggestions uf llo-h ler and tlie Moravians that gave his iniud the first bias toward the full evangelical view ut faith ami its effects.” Dues Not Think it Mthanok.— The Kirchmzeitung, Columbus, Ohio, has a short article on the “Southern General Synod.” The Kirckense»tnng is mistaken as regard* the llolstoti Bynod. It has not withdrawn, bnt is still connected with the General By nod South. The Kirrkenseitung say*: “The Byuod has much trouble with its institutions, especially with the theological seminary. A renewed interest in it is however manifesting itself, and it was resolved not only to continue it, but to put f«>rtb extra efforts for its pro*|>erity. There was iio dis|K>sitio!i manifested to unite with either the Genera) Council or with the Northern General By nod; nay, the delegate of the latter was uot even officially recognised. It is not to be wondered at that the South erners are unwilling now to have anything to do with their Northern brethren, when it is considered what insane (kimrerbransUm) resolution* wen* passed during the war by the Northern Geueral Byuod (and then the leaders of the General Council belonged to the («eneral Bynod) •gainst these .Southerners.” . The Lutheran Visitor would heie remark that it was neither enmity nor a revengeful spirit that actuated the members of the Hontberu Gen eral Synod, but Christian self respect. The General Conncil has never ex communicated the Southern General Synod: a delegate from it would therefore have Iteenreoogniced and re ceived as such. Moreover, our Byuod distinguishes properly and justly be tween tbe whole and tbe individual members of that whole. Ministers • and members of tbe Northern Gen eral By nod who hare viaited, and who do visit us, are kindly received, ■o matter what (Mr war reoord la The true man la true to his peopla “And ltuth said, Bnt real me .not to leave thee, or to return from follow ing after thee; for whither thou gotst I will go, sad where thou lodge*! 1 will lodge: thy poo|de shall be my people, ami thy God my God; where thou diest frill 1 die, aud there will I be buried.” Man receives his noblest, his purest temporal impulses from wo mau.

D. H. BlTTLE. Sunday iu tbe suburbs, and an equal number filled excursion boots and train, to the seashore and river re sorts. Per the Lutheran Visitor. Tbs “Illiberal College, the Javelin ui the Magnifying Spectacle* Dear I factor; In tbe Visitor of thf 20th of July there apjicared u 0 articles, one by “A Member of the Board,” tbe other by “Phi* assailing “Mat” Tbe first on u*> “Illiberal College,” and the other on the “Endowment Fond.” As to the former, I am still of the same op )n ion, vis., that either the “Bide Fnnd* has gone dry, or Newberry Golh-p. has become “stingy ” I ]daeed n„ more emphasis on tbe one than tj*. other, yet it seem* that oar brother tbe “Member,” ha* a |ieculiar tntont for handling the subject of stiafintm aod “sweet sixteen.” It would k* v * been just as easy for him, and «« him no more ink and paper, to have come out and said that the FuntT w aa exhausted, when iu array the annual bills were spmawi before them by lawyers, merchant* and accountant*, demanding’' *f**«j\ ‘payment,” as to harp upon the «fai- ginrss of tl*e<'allege as st^ited try Me Bat that would have been too direct an answer, which would not hare made him a mark at which to aito the contents of his quiver. Ia these days every person has a quiver- minister* of the Gospel a* well u others, and they do not spam aar time or pains in laboring to make theui sharp. But still that does set destroy the truth, thoogh by s tinual (touring of the dans it, it may !*• crushed, but it will rim again. The v ; iter of the article rr ferred to, which .appeared on the 12th of Jtdv, was actuated by so selfish motive. f»ut, by his interest in aud love for >«•»berry College. As 1 remarked before, there were men of influeoce, mean* and spirit, who would have been pleau*xi to at tend the exercises of tbe College; men who are not accustomed to build up any kind of institutions ua resolutions, which “lawyers, mer chants and accountants” do not eon stder at par. but from a want «f information were deprived of that privilege. Here the fault ia throw* upon the “President of the Bond,*' no—on the railroad authorities.— What a pity they were so tsidy in giving a “definite reply.” Per ha|*» if they pad seen an account sf the exercises in any paper that pore es over their road, they would hare been prepared to give a more speedy reply. But why arose the necessity for uot {Mtblishiog the prograame a week or two sooner ! The railroad authorities had uothiug to do with the programme w bether “dead-’ired” or otherwise. There was nothing at all in it about “reduced fare,” tx. Did tbe railroad authorities have to sanctiou the programme before it* publication ! The writer’s reason* imply ms much. As to the “dead lived” programme. I heartily indont* the •‘Member’s” action in “pasting the programme in his Dictionary (Webster’s Unabridged) for future reference,” and recommend that be turn to it frequently and hear it .speak as it will, though “dead-lived, r of the neglect of an important duty. Concerning the “private notices’ which our good brother, the “Mem ber,” has, by a gift of nature, re ducel to a point of ridicule, sod directed agaiust our kind Editor sod myself, I would simply remark that the notices were uot public, or else the public would have seen them. Now. if there be any such a tiling as **' intermediate notice, I am not aware of it, and I took it tor granted that if the notice was considered public it w as ouly by those in Charleston- Newberry and Oconee. As to the “Member's” chair, 1 do not envy him his seat, I do not de sire to be present at their meetings as a suggest cr. neither have I over intimated such a deeire, but should 1 ever be called to such a position, either iu Newberry’ College or any other institution, God helping I would do all that is iu uiy powsrto make way with that “ResoUU* 0 * book, and place the College lH‘fo n the world in its proper light Ami now. Mr. Editor, I desire the “Member” and others to know that the Javelin, though hurled by * strong arm and large brain, has not weakened in the least my determine tion to labor ami pray for the wel fare and prosperity of our beloved Institution. It is sadly true that I can not do inivcti j*>cuni*rily within myself, as my “income” is not siitees hundred dollars a year, bnt I an» ®' el willing to do what 1 can. In regard to the ten dollars, if the “Member * charge* will send that amonat for the the pur|N)se stated, mine will, 1 know. I cau not dose this part of m ' article without first tendering to the “Member” my grateful acknowledge menta tor the timely notice with which be has favored me of the ne xt “examination of students, meeting of the Board and comuienoemtid day.” Will eudeavor to arrange »> appointments so that I can attend- But 6liould I bo providentially kei^ away for a number of years to conn*, would be rejoiced very much to meet ~—-y our esteemed h any 0X1 June, «H**>-* • be tbe jH-rsonage (bar I11 the *»«“ I find by a c® **rhi,” who cm. the Eodowm. i. ho must *U!< spectacles.
