2. No credit. If however an agent
will make‘himself personally reapou
sible to uk we of course make an ex
ception. Xulta regmU —du not tell
the rest in any other but a dead Ion

3. No premium*. The terms ore
so low tbjt we can not afford it.
We hop# that the many who have
regretted the probable su«i>ensioo of
the Vititol, aud who have offered os
material aid, will now prove their
loyalty contributions of moneys,
communications, and large additions
to our sub senption list.

Yes, true enough, but now ! Our

preaching a secondary business will
be down in as. What of U! They
have been down on us all the time, a
few have oven hated us with a bitter
hatred, and done all they can to injure
the Visitor, and now they will rejoice
because it soon will be cease troubling
them. Bat wegfesure them, that the

by laymen, iu whose attachment nod
ability to sustain us we have tbe
highest confidence, and we are grate
ful for the evidence of their attach
meat to as and appreciation of oar
services j but we haw no faith in
some of oar minister*.
‘ We add a few extracts from let
ters lately* received ;
“I am truly sorry that those whom
the coarse you panme in conducting

not rest content with merely abstain
ing themselves from aiding you, bat
are active in toflaeitcing others to

do. Bat such conduct is only in ac
cordance with oar depraved humani
ty, and we moat, a* <* matter of

W. R*

that only pastors and lay delegates
representing pastoral charge* should
have a vote It ia a groat abas* In
oar Synods that minister* who are
not pastor* ore permitted to deetd#
questions which roperrn exclusively
the ehnrchee by (heir votes. It Is
not urjfrequently the onro that the
Internets of the chartbes and than*
of the minister* who are not pastor*
clash. It is •oaMrtiines also th* —
that the latter abstract the rval work
of the churches, because it Interfere*
with their purpose*. This Is w«U
understood by college faculties, sod
we therofoi* find that tbe profemora,
if clergymen, belong to diflhrwat
Synods, where they by their stand
log, ability sad address, exert a
powerful and often controlling infra
ence.
According to oar Latheran polity,
a —hrirtm who la not a pastor ta la
fact a layman, and only by cowrtsay
troatad as a cfergy man. Dd* nbaa*

Ia mere reoeut years it has, however,
become a point of apodal interest to
the Latheran Church in Virginia—
and more recently still it has attract
ed the attention of a larger portion
of the Ixilberan Church in the South,
by reason of the actiou of the Gen
eral Synod in selecting this place for
the location of its Beiumarv. It is a
plane of considerable loeal trade aud
business activity, and proverbial for
its hospitality *ud morality, aud for
the general intelligence of lU citizens,
fatter we last visited this place we
notice evident marks of improve
ment. One or two new streets have
been laid out, and a uuinlwr of sub
