All seribers, i distinctly, are old ai Not ouly but abw Of «*ch d the * Com manoamtnt w T _ it Hwiiwk* Last week we complained very gently of Ihe Secretary of the (Jet- era! Synod, who, we are informed, was by a resolution reqweated to pre pare an Abstract for the Viator, which however has uot yet been re ceived. This week—June 37th, we complain of the gentleman, who, aa ‘‘Profeasor " notified aa, prom ised to preseut our readers with aa account of what took place daring the great week at Salem, Virginia. Nmmm ruiqne. That is the way we are assisted. Yes, and these are the men who call the Visitor alow, and who tak4 aa to task if weMo not honor them, and serve their private interest* at the sacrifice of those of the Visitor and all the churches. A n import*. . < Almost Incredible, But Yet True. A gentleman the other day asked ns, what do I owe f We looked, and told him you have pawl to No. 360, Said be, I thought so j bat I learn from your paper that not a few fail to pay. I did not think it poasibte, that any one would take a religious paper and then not pay for it W§ tried to explain to him that many chnrch-mcmberti were not Christiana, that these dishonest Lutherans were the same w|o subscribed for the sup port of their pastors but refused to pay their subscription when due, that it waft the fault of the church council, who allowed dishonest men —thieves iu fact—to remain iu the church, and that the ministers were alter all the real offenders, because they did not teach their people that men should pay their rows, owe no man any thing, and bouor Ood with their substance. We failed however to make any impression ; be insisted that every man who subscribed for a religious paper should pay, and that a failure to do it would keep such a man out of heaven. Of course we agreed with him there, believing that a man should both pray and pay. Some pray, but pay not; it is breath wasted. Some pay and pray not; they are apt to learn to pray; others neither pray nor pay, they are outcasts. m mm m Delinquent*. We are loth, although fully de termined, to publish their names and places of habitation, to proclaim their guilt to all our readers. We therefore delay, and have instead made one more effort to induce them to act honesjUy toward ns. If any one fails to discharge bis indebted ness to ns, after all our forbearance, importuning, and endeavors to make him act justly, be will loose bis good name, disgrace the church, and if be has children, they will not inherit an unsullied name, nor feel proud of their parentage. Our colleague agrees with us; the last question we asked him, when at Staunton, waa: shall we. publish them! fie an swered; “Yes, although 1 think all your Staunton subscribers will pay. I have no dogbt you will find, when you return home, letters from every on©.* Wq are at home, have bean at home six days, bat there is not a letter from Staunton. We to-day mail to delinquent sub scribers in Virginia, eighty-eight (88) Postal Cards, with a statement of the indebtedness, to ocr debtors la Virginia. A week ha* elapsed since we wrote the above, and we have only heard from three. J , jffe have also sent accounts to W. Va., where there are 18 delinquents and 148.16 due.

R Rude, Dear Sir;;—We feel constrained by a sense of duty, through tbe Hri for by your permiasiot), to give tbe church some items of information with some refiratiou*. Tbe questions oa Revival* of Religion, tbeir con formity »itb our Confemoon of Faith, At, which sppenred in the Visitor mmm time xincc, aiipest to hay’s ex cited considerable inieiest. The writer s as |4r*ard to «ee tbe several articles in tbe Visitor iu ies)ionse. But ea|te(folly was be pleased with the series of articles from tbe able pea of Dr. D. II. Billie, nmlcr tbe caption Luther s’ ReritalisU They dearly shos that in ibis pnrlicalHr Luthei wa* all we ask, and it is cause uf regret that said Mriide* are not in pamphlet form for rinMilstiou among |ir poopfe. The author of the que»- tfem was set tied ia Ins own mind as U> the (irop-t answer, but in view of aoara r*tb<-i recent developments within the bound* of tlie Hynod of North Lanolins be dcsirvd tbe opinion of others. His object was art to create a false impression— namely, that some of tbe aiinisters of this Synod are “as Lutheran," as a recent writer in Oar Chunk Coper dearly enough insinuates. This writer asks os a number ot questions, aad, as it la convenient be will not ob ject to be questioned iu return. We ask, does be bot know what was our prait ioa at tbe meeting at ML Pleas sat as to tbe Liberty clause aud Practice ia the formation of that “Basin at Agreement T Was it uot apparaat then that there existed amongst as mote than imaginary difference 1 Has be forgotten that cfamaiv* report oftered at our meet iag of Synod in Davidson, culmiua ting ia a resolation prohibiting tbe ara of foe “mourners’ bench* in our charuhra; if used at all, it must be ta foe school boose or elsewhere— equivalent to a death blow to revivals in oar 0000try charges ! Baa be for gotten what transpired aa to our candidates for ordination, after tbeir ordinal ion bad been almost nnatii- mcoaiy decreed by tbe Ministerium wit boot even a formal examination!
