Those preachers and Synods who are not satisfied with the Soatberti General Synod, have established a charch paper (English) of their own, and endeavor in this way to effect a onion with the General Council. The Firi- tor opposes more and more the mania for the old tebdeocy, and maintains that the simple reception of the Augsburg Confession satisfies it.
