The Evangelical Lutheran Synod of
Virginia.
We were so happy os to be able to
reach this Synod daring its session
in Mt Jackson, Va., on Monday,
August 31st, at 2 P. M. We there
clasped bands again with many broth
ren beloved, with whom we hod
“many a time” held sweet counsel,
and labored harmoniously, in joy
and sorrow, iu the Master’s vine
yard. It was to us a joyful occa
sion ; aud though our re-uuiou was
of short duration, it greatly refresh
ed as, aud gave renewed energy to
hope.
The meeting of Synod was a very
full one, aud the utmost harmony
and brotherly kiuduess prevailed.
All seemed under the influence of
the divine maxim; “la honor pre
ferring one another,” We saw many
now* faces among the ministers—
these having been received into its
connection since our lost attendance
upon its sessions. The Synod is
evidently growing iu the number and
vigor of its ministry, and is doing its
work with a commendable degree of
energy. It transacted a large amount
of important business. A synopsis
of it* proceedings will sooo appear
in the Visitor, we trust
Mt. Jackson is a most charming
place for such a convention. Such
cheer, hospitality, and unwearying
kindness as were extended to the
Synod there, can nowhere be ex-
celled. We left the dear friends
lug there.
