The Report of tbs Committee No.

proposed Colloquium, appears iu this
week’s issue. We regret feat, through
tbs delay of the Minnies, it did not
appear sooner. A copy was prompt
ly sent the Secretary of tbs General
Council, and was sent by him to fee
Lutheran and Minwnary, in which it
was published last weak. But, as
there presented, it has two mistakes,
typographies! or ofeorwtos, one of
which entirely perverts the tone sense.
Instead of “the organic union of all
the Lutheran Synods in one Gene
