We are indebted to Mr. 8. Seneca
Bafcjn, of the dctniuaiy at Salem,
Va., for the report of the proceed
ings of the Genenii Synod.
Wo will commence, next week, to
publish the iuuum of all who are in
arrears, and hope that all will
promptly pay whut is due, an we
stauiil very much iu need of money.
Wo can not bo honest, if our sub
scribers are dishonest. Every oik* cun
very easily calculate his indebtedness.
A number of the Visitor cost* five
cents; multiply, therefore, the mint
bemifbr which payment has not been
made, and the product is the amount
due, For example: A. owe* from
No. 300; we have now No. 240; 200
from 240 leaven 40, which multi pi ini
by' a, gives #2-10 due us.
First ou our book is Staunton,
Va. We therefore begin next week
with SXAVNTON.

l. PltMO Take Notice,
Delinquent subscribers will be
published three tinea, and, If they
do not pay up then, lie delivered to
the tormentors.
Prepayment will hereafter be our
rule. We begin this week U* adop
tion by dropping all wbo have paid
to No. 244. By doing this, we spare
them the disgrace of being published
as delinquent*, and we keep ourselves
from becoming delinquent to our
printer.
Trusting has nearly killed its.
Atrophy.
It Sieves us that we have to re
port that the Visitor is in a deellne,
and wasting away from want of
nourishment. It has many doctors,
but prescriptions do not strength
cn, and restoratives a re not furiii*hed.
Sympathizers arc not wanting, ad
visers abound; but with one hoqpr
able exception—a layman—who ask*
what amount it will require to keep
the Visitor alive, the only panacea
that eau restore the Visitor to health
is not forthcoming.
Not a few will mourn the Visitor’*
demise. The dead are wept!
Virginia writes: “I am still of the
opinion expressed during the F. C.

not Venture to intimate to my people
any such possibility in view of the
damage that wonld result. 1 take it
that the sentiment of our laity is no
divided and most decidedly so to
favor of your continuance. I speak
the simple truth in sayiug that the
Virginia Synod, ministers and pro
pie, Would deplore most grievously
any change in the editorship of the
Visitor. I think Itev. — i* the
onl$ dissatisfied spirit iu the camp.”

Siting. sa Act of Waihip
The Missouri General Hynmt has
its points, the General Council also,
ami we do not see why the Southern
General Synod should nut follow
the fashion It ought t*» hnve at
least one point
Being opfmsrd to the mtopriou of
a multiplicity of aymtwil* mmriructed
by self appointed creedmakcrs, ami
a* we do not want within , our
churches two distinct ndbr* of
christ-am-the Rsoterie and the
Exoteric ; that h, a few chosen ooeu
who have many creeds, ami a largo
multitude who are permitted to
belong to the church, ami to go to
heaven with but one creed; and, aa
we believe that foith in Christ sad
baptism with water in the ttam* «*f
Father, Sou, and Holy Ghost are
all sufficient title* to church mem
bership and admittance into heaven,
we till bat propose one point for
the adoption of the .Southern bcaneh
of the Evangelical Lutheran Church
The point we profwmc is this :
Giving ms am .trl of Werthtp.
“Now,” eric* brother Keep*!!, “that
is sootetbing new.” “What has
giving to do with religion f* ask*
groiber Loveporae. “there eoough,”
says brother Feelgood, “it does not
make u* belter Christian*.* “Works
are nothing,” remarks toother itrirk
tohetter . “we most hohl the pare
doctrine.” “Yes,” add* brother l»ry
android, “ami to the old inlet and
forms.”
It b astonishing how well these
brethren, who are at loggerhead* on
all other point*, are agreed on this
negative {mint : Giving has nothing
at all to do with religion. For all
that, we will hold Cast to our point :
(Siting is aa art of tcuesAip, and
therefor* a ckristusm doty.
We need not at this late day
undertake to prove that Christiaan
should be liberal and cheerful givers.
The man who denies I hi* b not
a Christian The man who larks
the grace of honoring God with hi*
substance is altogether graceless
Now there will be a shaking among

What we Insist on b that chrb

“ITpon the ft ret dav of the week let
every one dt you lay-by .him. that
there be no gatherings when 1

The apostle was a wine man; he
understood human nature; he knew
foil wefT, tbnt nolens men discharge
their obligation to give at oner, they
see very apt to put It off, until they
fbrget all about if. It b much easier,
it does not make such a large hob
in flic pile, the figure in not so high,
and therefore not so terrible to look
at, when the weekly system of
giving Is adapted, aa when the
whole amount due unto God b only

very much Inclined to doubt the
