disposed of. An interesting report was introduced

the Anniversary Celebration of the Juvenile Mis
sionary Society, connected with St, Malthew'a
Church. The object of thia society is to raise funds
for the purpose of sustaining a Sabbath school, at
Gontour, in India. The exerci.-et of this occasion
were of the mnst interesting character. Where all
did so well, it might be deemed invidious to spe
cify ; but we cannot refrain from eipressing par
ticular gratification with poem, written by
Charles West Thompson, and declaimed by Chris
topher KnauflT; another poem written by a Udy of
the congregation, and spoken by Susan Loos; a
hymn surgby Emeline E-her, Mary Himicle and
H. Hiehle, an 1 a Bible Ieson by fus children of the
school. The whole audience seemed highly de
lighted and gratified. The manner in which all
the pupila acquitted themselves, certainly reflects
great credit upon their efficient Superintendent,
Mr. Martin Buehler, aa well as all the teachers
connected with the school. The Rev, Mr. Coined,
agent for the Parent Education Society, aftcrwarda
aJdtesied the audience in a "warm and eloquent

nd adopted.
Home discussion waa had upon the propriety of
a purely ministerial tension. Tba Rev. Mr. Milhr
wt opposed to all secret meetings, and did not
think them consistent with the spirit of Christi
anity. The Re. Mr. Sternberg thought the
ministry alone authoring to perpetuate its own or
der, and that aa thia la on of tha principal object
of ministerial iissions, they were proper and per
feclly scriptural. Piof. Williams waa of a differ
nt opinion. II thought thai the BlI and the
Church recognised the right of Lyrnsn to partici
pate in the ordination of minister ; but at present
L. did not think it expedient for ibis body to (bol
ls!) a custom which hsd Wen so long obsermd in
tha ahurcb- The subjeu was deferred for further
eensiJtia'ion.
Several Committees presented their ropntta nn
various su'jivts, which were received and adopted.
A communication from a numb' r of persona resi
ding in Pine Omv.', Schuykill c 'Unty, waa presen

as being in a very destitute condition as regards
thoir sp'nitunl privilege-, and earnestly entreat tho
Sno,l to send them a fsithful Minister of the Gos
pel. The Rev Mr. C.mrsd made sine further ob
servations as to tho destitution of this people, and
the importance of providing, them with the faithful
presetting of the gospel. The matter was disposed
of, by retailing it to the Committee nn Vacmt Con.
grcgatione, vith instructions to try all they can to

The Rev. Mr. Stork, delegate to the Evangelicil
Luther.in Synod of Pennsylvania, reported that, he
hod appeared before that body, and for reasona al
together unsatisfactory and unreasonable, waa re
jected. The report was adapted, and (he Rev. Mr.

The follow ing resolution was pissed in reference
to our rel itions with this Synod.
Reso'ved, That we have heard with deep regret
our dtlecatr's statement of the failure ofhis mission
to the Pennsylvania Synod, and that we are t-ti.l
dosiroua of rs'aMUhing fien.lly and ffalein.il tela
tion with thnt body. In reply to the resolution
parsed by them rtlitive to our body, we can mertlv j
say that they suggest no means of removing the dif
ficulties exii-ling between us, as we sre not Bware
thnt we in any of our proceedings, said or sanction
ed anything that can be conaidered unchristian or
unjust to the Pennsylvania Synod. Aa soon, how
ever, as aught tint might be so construed is pointed
out K us, we shall be teady to recall the offensive
word or act, whichever it msy be, aofar as in our
power, or to give such explanation as comport
with truth and propriety. Meanwhile any further
overturea for friendly correspondence will naturally
come from the Pennsylvania Synod, though in the
menn time we shall endeavor to "keep the unity of
the apirit in the bonda of peace."
A committee was appointed to divide the Synod
into ('(inference districts, with instructions to report
