POSSIBLE BASIS OF UNION IN THE
LUTHERAN OHUROH.
The basis of tho Missouri Synod embraces
the unqualified subscription of all the Sym
bolical Books of the Lutheran Gburch, so
interpreted as to brand as heretics all who
belong to ether denominations, and who do
not so receivo them, and from whose mem
bers, therefore, fellowship in the Lord's Sup
per is to be withheld, and to, whose minis
ters an interchange of pulpits is to hedenied.
That this is a'fair representation of the basis
of Missouri, their own words, as -printed in
our columns, abundantlyprove. And that
they really aipi at unif,iDg the Lutheran
Church in America on such a basis, and hope
to secure it, their .origin, their declarations,
and their efforts attest, ~ The means through
which they baye propagated their senti
ments, and carried? forward their; work, are
their religious,,ja,ufpals,,u.udi public conferenr
ces. Thus individual OOP:

derstood and received in one and the same
sense, and that Y sehte theiron'ly^t^ub,'ifative,
and original one. *»Tt!e General Council, in
the preamble of its' constitution, declares
that the vocation of the Lutheran {Mtuph
“ demands such an brgunizatiog as shall en-'
able our whole Church ip this land, in its
various tongues,, to iy‘o,i;k together, first and
supremely, for the maintenance...of unity
in the true faith of the and. that
the delegates,presentjwere
the purpose of forming a union of‘Lutherpd j
Synods.’ 1 the confessional was SO;
strongly worded, that the hop 4 wasjeherish-i
ed, that the Missouri Synod, an,d Ull.Others
who sympathized With them, Would npc ohly
approve of It,'but formally unite with- ’the
Council. Hut this hope has notbeenre
alized, and the Missourians, den'oun&site^e-;
tion on the Four'Points as'twii-sidfed,
istio, un-Ltttheran jiud un-the.blogic'ft. ( The 1
Council has,“however, secured lhe,y.ni.ondf
twelve or thirteen Lutheran Synods,, at
least, in an outwprd and forihpl inantohr;'
The doctrinal basis of the General Synod
requires the reception of the Augsburg COn
fession, the Symbol of the Ldjtheran GnUfOn
in her catholicity alone, and Imphsejs.'tpO
obligation that the fundamental doctrines of
the word of God are therein correctly
hibitod. The General Synod was organized
“for the promotion of brotherly lurid, to tph
furtherance of Christian cohoord, opd to the
firm establishment a : nd continuance of the
unity of the Spirit, in the bond of, peace
And, in accordance with thU aesigri, its con
stitution forbids the adoption of ;any,6ucn ;
confessional test, as would be calculated “to
burden the consciences ofthe brethren” by
human jir'escripiicJhs,'liUd, at the same time,
enjoins the duty of observing the signs- Of
