The Lutheran Conference Deter
mines on n Course OF Il elton.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 2O,-The
Evangelical Lutheran conference has
taken important action looking to the
locking out of the preachers OF the Sc
ceding party. The action is embraced
in the following resolution, which was
adopted:
Whereas The pulpits of number of our
churches are At present occupied by certain
ministers appointed by irregular assemblies
calling themselves annual conferences of our
church. which assemblies have acted in op-
position to the discipline and lawful
authorities of the Evangelical association, as
has already been determined by this annual
conference; therefore be it
Resolved, That the presiding elders of the
church are hereby directed TO see to it that in
their respective districts 10 persons repre-
sentlng either directly or indirectly tho afore-
said Irregular and unlawful assemblies shall
be allowed to perform any official action in
any OF the churches, and that these direc-
tons shall be communicated by the presid-
ing elder to the preacher in charge, who
shall see to their enforcement.
Schuyikill seminary. located at Fred
ericksburg, Pa, and Central Fennsvl-
vania college, located at New Berlin,
Pa, are among the church properties of
the Evangelical association In the hands
of the seceders' conference, and it is
recommended that such measures be
adopted by the proper authorities as
may be necessary to save these institu-
tions to the church and secure their
prosperity. In reference to those mem
berS who are still in rebellion, the con-
ference took decisive action by making
it the duty of the preacher in charge to
erase the names Of such persons from
membership

MOMENTS CONGRESSES

The women of St Paul ought to be
very much gratitied, as no doubt they
are. that this city should have been
selected as site for an adjourned SEES
sion of the womens congress, and that
so many leaders of their sex in intel
lectual work should have given them
the benefit and the Inspiration of yes
terday'S visit. There are two opinions
as to whether women are in general
capable of the highest work in the
things of the mind. So far as acquiStive-
ness and sense of beauty go, no one
doubts their capacity. But the ability
to see the general in the particular, and
to distinguish between the important
and tie subordinate, some people
think is characteristic OF the repre-
sentative masculine mind rather than
of the feminine. Young girls learn facts
as readily as boys, and retain them as
well; but. in after years, very ordinary
men can, according to this view, carry
a chain o. logical thought coherently
with much greater success than even
an exceptionally bright woman. For
this reason women's intellectual per
formanceS, i'll spite of their many
charms, often seem disjointed to critics
OF the Sterner sex, who in vain seek in
them for central or predominant line
of thought. But however all this NAV
be, there is no doubt that real pleas
ure attaches to mental eXertion. and
the women who read and write and
think arc happier on this account than
those who have no such resources.
This is the peculiar merit of women's
clubs and congresses. They may never
result i'll any permanent constructive
productions of great value, but the COM
petitions they excite and the Interest
they stimulate add a new zest to the
lives of those who participate in them.
The inventor of a new pleasure is the
highest of human benefactors, and this
will give prominent position to the
projectors of movements like this of
which we had a specimen in our city
