Iu the South charchly matters are
again somewhat disarranged. 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. It
has no nse for and will not have nine
Confessions. It thinks that any one
