Walhalla, 8l C,
It has been remarked to us that
au effort waa made twenty years
age to establish au English Lutheran
church ia Rich mood, mad a regret
axpruaaed that the eootribotioos
made thee were mad* ta vain. This
supplied
*aid that it was solely the result of
inadvertence ; aud that, bad the
subject been suggested at all, there
would have been a spontaneous and
unanimous tribute paid to hie blessed
memory by that body. But this
apology, though much extenuating
the grievous fault, does sot acquit
us of tbe imputation of iacomodar
ateuess, such as should not hare
been expected of us—especially of
tbe delegation of the ft C. Byood.
But the very fact that this delega
tion foiled to call up the subject
before tbe General Synod is demon
strativc proof that it did not proceed
from any want of profound regard
for Dr. Bach mas; for this entire
Bynod, of which he wee tbe founder,
loved him with the devotion of
affectionate children toward s fond
father.
The previous action ef the General
Bynods, sc ita Convention* as eoe
ceasively held st Winchester, Char lea
ton, and Salem, Va., also clearly
shows that the omission referred to
was not in any degree the result of
iudiffereuce. At Winchester, in 1879,
after responding most respectfully to
a communication from tbe Doctor, it
was
“Revolted, That we highly appre
ciate the distinguished services ren
dered the church by our venerable
brother iu a long and useful life, and
hereby cordially tender him oar
deep sympathies iu the infirmities
and sufferings incident to old age.”
And the following ia contained in
tbe Minutes of the Convention held
in Charleston, in 18T2:
“The venerable Rev. J. Bachman,
D.D., LL.D., in a brief but touching
address, expressed tbe unfeigned
pleasure his daily attendance upon
tbe sessions of this Bynod bad af
forded him, and he deemed worthy
of special mention the unanimity and
harmony that characterised ita busi
ness transaction*. Iu the providence
of God he had been permitted to
pass through good and evil report,
and to meet with the Councils of the

to a fine looking and attentive au
