The General Synod of North America
(the Southern Synod is not essentially
unlike the General Synod of the United
States IN doctrine and practice. 1t num-
bers 100 ministers, I73 churches. and
Ii, 152 communicates.
The General Council is the High
Church party. 1t holds literally to the
Augsburg Confession; employs an elab-
crate liturgy; its ministers wear the
gown in preaching; and it tends more
and more to exclusiveness in regard to
the pulpit and the Lords Supper-to a
reservation of the former for lutheran
and of the latter for strict
Lutherans. The General Council num-
bers 500 ministers, ,13l churches, and
ISL ,S29 communicates.
The Synodical Conference is the largest
of the bodies, numbering ,14O ministers,
L $50 churches, and 29O,84O communi-
ccants. AS has been intimated, its mem
bers stand by the oldest traditions with
devotion, and are Lutherans
or nothing. In their view, there is no
genuine Lutheranism outside of their
walls.
Besides these four confederate bodies,
there are twelve independent Synods,
composed largely of foreigners, and rep
resenting various shades of belief, some
of them being infected with the neologi-
cal and restorationist views current in
Germany.-Evangehst.

A Man Wanted!

A letter from the mission rooms dated
June II, says: 81 have been busily en-
gagged in looking around for some one to
reinforce the Soochow mission, but as yet
have found no one that would seem to meet
the demands of the case. met
at the Assembly and he told me he could
get $500 or $500 more to send out a
missionary to Soochow" There has
been $500 in the treasury for months,
waiting for some one to offer.
1t does not seem that our Church has
been impoverished by missions, as there
are only Is out of 1000 ministers and
licentiates in heather lands. There are
many brethren recently from the semi
nary who turned their thoughts to pagan
lands. The experience gained in home
pastorate might be of great value in
the foreign field. The friends of the
Soochow mission are requested to pray to
the Lord of the harvest that He who has
provided the gold and the silver would
send forth laborer for this great city
which lieth in wickedness, the centre of
mighty plain whose inhabitants are as
the sands of the sea for multitude.
At no time have the financial pros
poets of Foreign Missions been brighter,
with an income of $4,000 and the debt
merely nominal. Especially have the
Ladies Societies with their $4,000 come
up to the help of the Lord. This only
represents one-half or one-third of what
gentle hands placed in the Church con-
tHbutions. 1t goes to prove that it is
not necessary to have Ladies treasury,
and Board of ladies', inexperienced
perhaps in finance, to draw forth liberal
gifts from loving hearts. H G. D.

Be Cheerful

does not mend matters for us and it
ma kes us very disagreeable to others. If
we have had misfortune, we are not alone.
The world is not all sunshine to anybody.
We love the fresh, light-hearted laugh of
a child. Why not keep it ourselves in
after years? Does groaning ease any
burdens? We love the hope and faith of
children. Are we any better off if we
have allowed them to slip from us? We
love the ardor and natural enthusiasm of
children.
Are we any wiser if we have covered
up all the impulse and warm feeling of
our natures, so that the world knows
only cool, calm exterior? We know
a woman who has lost all her property,
though once very rich nearly all her
friends by death; has her hands so cramr-
ed by rheumatism that she has been un-
able to use them for years: and vet she is
full of sunshine, and thanks God every
day for the great enjoyment she finds in
life. We know another who. in the
midst of luxury, wishes she had not been
born, and some others almost wish she
had not. Not least of all shall we have
to give account in the judgment as to
what manner of spirit we have been pos
sessed.

The matter seems to me to lie in a nut

got from these old versions, and get up
union work. This seems reasonable

strong reason for union in work on a new

Of the Word, will tend powerfully to

PEOPLE cannot become perfect by dint
OF O, hearing or reading about perfection.
The chief thing is not to listen to yourself,
but silently listen to God; to renounce
all vanity, and apply yourself to real vir-
tues; to talk little, and to do much with
out earring to be seen. God will teach
you much more than all the most ex-
perienced persons and all the most spirit
ual books. Do you need to be SO learned
IN order to know how to love God and
deny yourself for His love? You know
much more of good than you practice.
You have much less need of gaining fresh
knowledge than of putting in practice
that which you have already acquired

The Republican papers lay great
stress on the opinion Of the supreme court
OF Maine. A wonderful change has come
oyer these fellows since 1876; it was q
different story then. When the supreme
court of Florida decided that Governor
Stearns had committed great blunder'
and awarded the certificates to the Tilden
electors these Republican editors sneered
at the court, defed the decision, and went
on with the count in the interest of the
Republican party. The same is true of
South Carolina. In Maine the court is on
the other side-its decision is in favor
Of Blaine's methods. and of course the
Republican press commsnds. Had the
decision been the reverse of what it was I,
every Republican paper in the country
would have charged the judges with being
in collision with Garcelon. It makes a
heap of difference whose OK is gored,
