SPECIAL WOTTCO*.
Remittances must he made in P*st
Office Orders, Baak Check*, or Drafts,
if possible. If these cnn not t«e obtained,
send the money in n Rkovsterkd I.rr
tee. AH Postmasters are obliged to
register letters when required.
Papers are sent to subscribers nntil
au express onter to discontinue is re
ceived, and all arrearages are paid, as
required bjr law. Merely returning a
number of the paper by mail, is not suf
ficient. ‘
All (-oimunnicatious relating to sub
scribers, should give their names very
distinctly, and carefully indicate which
are old and which are new subscriber*.
Not only the name of the post office,
but also that of the county and State
of each subscriber is necessary, in order
that the proper entries may he promptly
and accurately made.
Marriage and obituary notices, and
other matter intended for publication,
should be written separately, and not in
business letters, to receive proper atten
tion.
Clubbing.
To Clubs of five (5) prepaid sub
scriber#, sent to one address, we
mail the Visitor for #3 for fifty two
numbers.
A 1:
the aci
South
do not,
North Carolina Synod.
Our renders will read with interest
the account of the transactions of
this body furnished the Visitor by
the Secretary. Several letters have
been received by us since the ad
journment, the oouteutsof which we
condeuse, as they throw additional
light ou the “abstract,”
rnn says: “I never endorsed
>n of separating from our
General Body, and I really
think that a majority of the
lay members do. 1 trust these things
will right themselves in time to come.
We who are dissatisfied hope for the
best.” |
Another eorres|M>udcut writes:
“The separation from the General
Synod *a* uucalled for, precipitated,
and ill advised.”
informs us that a majority
desire to re unite with the General
Synod ; but this seems to us highly
improbable, as the further agitation
of connection with any other body
was postponed for five years.
We learn also from aoother source
that liev. Hotbrock introduced a
resolution contemplating an imme
diate union with the General Synod.
The vote was staved off. This much
however seems to be certain: the
union with Tennessee Synod is, for
the present, at an end.
As regards the contemplated itemi
nary, the plan, we learn, is to raise
#12,000 as an endowment fund, then
to elver a professor sound in the
faith, and start the Seminary.
Again, another friend writes: “If
the General Synod was only a little
more Symbolic, the N.CTSynod would
have xeturued toil.”
A “little more Symbolic? is a very
indefinite expression. Luther was
not a Symbolist ; be knew nothing
about the Form of Concord; and we
will prove, as soon as w# have space
sufficient, that Luther tanght the
communion of saints, the fellowship
of believers, and that to him the
true preparation for the Lord's table
was hungering and thirsting %fter
righteousness in faith, and not dog
matic knowledge. Yet this is what
Symbolists insist on.
It also appears to os inexpedient
and impractical for North Carolina
Synod to attempt to establish a Theo
logical Seminary. It can never be
come a first class school of prophets.
It must always be a third rate ineti
tutiou. One professor to teach all
that should be tangbt in a Theologi
cal Seminary ! It is very much to be
regretted that Trot. Bepass is not
sufficiently sound in the faith for
North Carolina. Now we venture a
prediction : North Carolina will only
find an acceptable professor of the
ology in North Carolina. If North
Carolina would re unite with our
General Synod, it would obtain all
it desires, it would accomplish good,
and it would be a power. Isolated,
it is a reed. Its Seminary wiH
be an impossibility. The Lutheran
church baa no# too many one barse
institutions. (Tnholy ambition, mis
taken zeal and blind pr^odke have
run riot, and misapplied and wasted
the peoples’ money. The beet and
the wisest course for North Carolina
to adopt would be to endow a pro
fessorship #i the General Synod’s
Seminary. The Synod could reserve
to itself the right to nominate the
professor, and it wonld thus have it
in its own power always to fill its
chair with an Evangelical Lutheran.
We have strong hopes of North Caro
lina Syfiod. We believe that It Is
the Lord’s doings that the union of
The Bvaagslkal AHtanos.
Our readers will beer «i
that we have never advocated this
conglomeration It hi a cake Mi
turned. We ngotee to see that the
Lutheran Observer Is now showing
it the eoM shoulder We all the
time were poxaied because Lather
sue had anything to do with It, and
the fact that this self called body
ban concluded to dispense with the
Lord’s Sapper during Its tensions In
New York next October, on acwooat
ot lo© close communion itspusi*,
who love water more than the Wood
of Christ, snd who place water above
the word of God, proves that we
have always been right la mist root
ing the Evangelical Alliance. As
Rev. Ban lay says in the Observer ;
“Sham union will do no good.* Dr
Conrad, who Is very charitable,
nevertheless says: “We regard this
decision a great mistake. If the
members of the Alliance eaa oat
unite as Christians in the Holy Hop
per, it seems to as that there is little
use in trying to noil# practically ta
anything rise.* The Visitor goes
farther. U says: If the members of
the Evangelical Alliance are willing
to dispense with the Lord** Sapper,

For the Lstherma Visitor.
“Hit* md HLntfi."
Mr. Editor: A few weeks sines
you fnrntehed as with several items
under thte caption, which we copy,
giving you all credit a« its author.
Though you sometime* “bit” hard,
and “hint” plainly, we are of opinion
that there is still room for a few
more “bit* and hints* from us ; aud
then, perchance, some one else will
bare a atooe or two to “throw,” or a
saggeutioa to make.
By your |»ertniasioa, we will re
verse the order sod submit our
“bints* first, reserving oar “hits” for
ths last; hoping, however, that no
one may be damaged by any “bit” of
oars.
We wish to “bint* to yon first, Mr.
Editor, that yon are furuteUuig the
Charrh with sjnost valuable paper,
well a«U|ited to its wants ao«l inter
•eta, snd ohurchly aud orthodox in
the icasoos it teaches. It has been
an efficient agent in the dmetu miari*H>
of rritgioo* Lratk aud church osws.
It has been so Hficwut educator of
oar people in the doctriues and
usage* of our Church, sod s steady
advocate of the Houlbern General
Hynod. It is manly and out spoken,
aad druerves the vigorous sapfiort of
the Church. We do uot suppose
that it te all that some would de
mand, but if yoa know of any paper
that pleases every person, you will
confer ao additional favor upon your
readers by (riling them its name,
place of poblioatiou and terms.
If you bappeo to “hit* any one,
tt te bat natural that the recipient of
the blow would uot be pleased; for
who likes to be “bit f* We do uot
intend to aetid you a “broad-side ; n
but we confess that we used to think
you sometimes used pretty “heavy
ordnance,* and no wonder if some
body was hart, | mov hied be hap
penrd to be l«i the way. But you
have hero remarkably sparing of
your “hits* for some time post, end
we shall not be mirjwised to hear of
new friends “wheeling iuto line,” sod
former fneodriiijis, unfortunately for
s time suspended, being revived.
We would farther “hint” to you
that we are highly delighted with
such corrn*|KHideuts us “Delegate,”
“Capon Riwm!,” “Luthersnas,” “R.,”
“Hermann,” Ae., Ac. They add to
the interest of your four) !»aper, and
to the edification of your readers.
It te a wonder to u* why mot* of our
ministers aud intelligent laymen do
not enrich the column* of the Visi/or
with an occasional article. It would
doubtless cheer the editor, iuterest
the peojde, sad do good. We are
pleased to know that you have some
lady correspondents, snd it is worthy
of congratulation that at leant a few
of oar testers ai* willing to con
tribute their part to the interest of
the |niper. We hope that their good
example will lie imitated by one snd
another until you number in your
