stands alone and unapproachable IN It's
speciality; all that could be desired, III
the way of history, statement, comment,
criticism and illustration, relating to the
vital subject of which it treats. The
great learning and power, and beauty OF
style, do not constitute its highest
praise. This is found in its moral and
religious spirit, in its prominent Chris-
tian candor and impartiality in its SOL
emu sarnestness for historic truth, its
manly and unvascillating faith in the
doctrines proclaimed by the fearless sub
ject of its biography, all combining to
make it one OF the graildest monuments
Of sanctified intellect and learning ever
reared to the honor of Sacred Truth.
Never have We seen such an array Of
great names giving their unqualified
Communications Of y book, ~ we find in
the publishers circular; names OF men
whose self-respect and personal charac-
ter and position, make them exceeding
ly chary how they endorse anything
that does not come up to high stand
ard Of excellence, or that does not meet
with their hearty approval.

ingly valuable dissertation by DIR. Leon

A Good Live Local Paper


A cotemporary asks, what can .
good live local paper do for a city or .
villsge:'
In the frat place the general bust
ness character of the town is formed by
the number OF the papers issued and sup
ported in it.
Strangers are attracted to a place by
taking look At the advertisements OF
the business men, as they are conspicu-
ously inserted ia the village papers.
They are attracted not only to trade
with you by means of the paper, but to
take look ut your place, and if it suits
them, to buy property and locate among
you. Thus the village prepers aud is
built up.
Having attained reputation for BUSH
ness by means of its papers, and they
being literally supported by your mer-
chants and others, the town becomes at
once point Of attraction, and men
come to visit you for the purpose OF
buying property, and to prosecute some
valuable village enterprise.
Real estate, as the village expands in
growth, becomes more and more valua-
BILE, and thus every property holder is
benefited, and business of every hind re
ceivc- anew impetus. Trade thus be-
comes lively. The papers fly on the
wings of the wind, and tho village
grows as its papers prosper, and mer-
chants and business men drive on q
lucrative and thrifty business continual
ly. through the influence of live and
local papers, which they would not and
could not do were it not for THESE pow
erful engines that keep all the wheels
of enterprise in motion.

your inquiries l will state that Mr..
Seitzinger and wife reached Lisbon
Friday evening. Mr.. Seitzinger on
was examined on Saturday morning.
His testimony amounted 10 nothing
more than what we had from previous
statements; only that he believed that
Mr.. IL. tried to make disturbance. This
Of course could not be taken in evidence.
At the close Of the examination Brother
Geiger offered = resolution As near rs l
can recollect rs follows:
Resolved, That these brethren bs
recommended to forgive each Others
past ottenses, and that hereafter each re-
main in his own field If lato..
Ito this Mr. Altman did not object
and we supposed it was all settled-but
on Monday mornin. just IS we were
about to adjourn he called ths matter
up again aud requested Synod to pass
some resolutions with which hs might
defend himself before his people. This
request, however, was not granted
Among the charges against Mr.. Maur-
or before the church council was one,
that he had accused his pastor Of false.
hood-to that charge he plead guilty,
and the church council passed the reso-
luton copied into the article Of "\in-
dex" When, however, the pastor arose
to read to the congregation the charges
and findings against Mr. Maurer, against
the law and custom Of the church, Mr..
Maurer simply arose and told him that
he had learned from the church council
that the reading Of those charges should
be before the church members and not
the congregation; and after Mr.. Altman
persisted in reading item to the public,
when he came to the charge accusing
him of calling his pastor liar, he said
he did 50 accuse him; that he had told
u falsehood and that lie could prove it
he being then further fortified in his
belief by the printed proceedings of
Synod in addition to the letter hereto
fore set out.
Aud once again when a vote was put
to the congregation as to whether Mr..
Altman should remain their pastor for
another year, Mr.. Malrer arose aud civ
lily asked il the vote for the affirmative
had been counted when the "Rev.
Gentleman, the 7yrcnt rs one Of the
legal gentlemen ~ called him, showed
his clovcn foot-".N dO,ca, SIR, you hare
no business to talk hcre,' says the Rev.
Gentleman in thunder tones on Sab
bath afternoon. Several witnesses swore
upon the trial that the negative to that
vote was never put. Unanimously
chosen," says Altman and disuisses
church, while one Of the brethren is en-
gagged in putting, or threatening to put
Mr.. Maurer out Of doors, because he
don't want any more Altman on his
plate, and don't propose to have him
plaster himself to Cuss tow uship Luth-
eran church for another year, nolens
roie,ls.
1t was for these ofenses that Mr..
Msurer was tried, and which constitute
the "Church Case"
As to tho personal filings at Mr.. Maur-
er, occurring along through the philip
pic Of "Nindex, we Lave nothing 10
say, but point to them q the very best
evidence OF the ignorance, unchristian
spirit, and bigotry which have marked
this transaction from Tho beginning.
They are perpetual monument to that
spirit which will surely destroy every
church in which it has an existence.
