A«fi*n,3U, l #73 f KHiloro Lutheran Heitor ♦ Tto Thirty First Couvtuuon of the La tberau Synod of South-West Vir- giui* closed to da#- It was la n»*it> nuqmou na ttmxirUut session, and all M catmint th*t tha mom of our church ha* boon advanced by lu transactions. There waa wore unity of |»urpooe and wore to rams mas me* thjni than in MHverat previous ran veuiiou*. The Uiscoialaat elriuwite, wluch hare, to a greater or lean extent, existed in all th« District Synods in the South, oeeia to bo (hot disappearing, and we henceforth feel more m if we were war Amp topethee . The officers of thio year ire Rev. J. A. Brown, President, Rev. J. It. Orieucr, Secretary, and Rev. A. Phil, lippi, Treasurer. The reports upon the state ol rtli- giou, at a whole, permuted rather a confused account, from the fhet that the information given waa baaed a poo no definite order ; bat to pea veut this in future a given form sad subject were adopted, according to which reports ate hereafter to he atade. All the clerical members of Synod were in attendance except Rev. Prof. Youce, who wen detained by illness in bis family. Tbe Synod durtng the year too tained a loss in tbe death of Rev. Prof, J. G. Frey, whom we all loved and respected so highly. We, intentionally, enquired of aorue, supposed te be disaffected to wards the Scnthern General Synod, sa to our withdrawal fbiu it, and were glad to find leas o( that linpv sition than we expected, or than has heretofore exists 1; indeed, the Syo od is finding that there Is not eo great a difference of views held within it as at owe turn was sop posed. Everyth tug is betag harvaon. ised, sad we expect an active effiwt in theadvancement of onr /feathers Church. Wo frequently notice inti mat ions, in onr Northern church pa per*, to the effect that tbe .Southern General Byuod ie about to die, and can no longer lustaiu a paper, and hence there is much secret esjoiciag in tbe hope that a few store dollars wil! be spent in supporting a North em journal, and that the eoogregs turns in tbe Booth will unite with some body whose claims these papers present. Fur the comfort sod in attraction of all wash penman*, tt would be well if they coo Id attend the sessions of our Synods and see how things work.
