10 large congregation.
On Sunday afternoon the diTeren. Sab
bath Schools OF The town assembled in the
Lutheran Church TO which addresses
were delivered by Rev. DR.. Bl,Ile Of Ro-
anoke, and Revs. Campbell aud DoSh.
During the meeting OF this body We
noticed uniform good feeling, and amid
earnes, discussion it's harmony was no.
interrupted. The usual business per-
tanning 10 such bodies was transacted,
among which We noticed the licensute Of
Rev. Tressler formerly Of Pennsylvania.
Apart from The regular business we no.
,iced one matter which seems 10 US Of
Rrea, importance. The Synod formed
Translation and Publication Society.
The features ere novel, but We think
quite practicable. The object is to trans
late and publish the rich and valuable
German literature OF the Church so as 10
make it accessible Ia English readers
The means are TO be procured by solicit
ling from all persons interested in The en-
ierprize, sums Of money not less than one
dollar from each, TO the amount OF $1,000.
The Society TO begin operations so soon
as this shall have been pledged. This
money is in The form Of a loan to be paid
back TO each subscriber in book. al fair
publishers prices. The plan deserves
trial, and we hope i. will meet with gen.
ersl favor,
The preaching. tu'ing the session OF
Synod, was Of high order. and solicited
the commentator of all denominations.
We dare mol discriminate as all the SER
mons were good.
The next session OF Synod was sp-
pointed at Woodstock. Va. in the charge
OF The Rev. Levi Keller, in August, 1871.
