A pair OF scissors closely clings
Beside the silver bow,

Yet she IS vexed and quite perplexed

Though hard she tries, TO her surprise

A lady who lives IN a northern suburb
Of Chicago was passing a church one
Sunday evening recently. and as the win
dows were open she paused for a moment
10 listen to the singing.
Just then the singing ceased and she
heard the minister say: "As the evening
is a very warm one, as soon as we have
finished the next stanza the ladies may
remove their hats and the gentlemen their
coats in order TO be comfortable"
The outsider waited until the stanza
was finished, and, as she then heard a
great rustlng. she believes that the con-
gregati0n complied with the advice of the
minister.-Times-He

INFANT BAPTISM AND THE USE OF GERMAN IN

INFANT BAPTISM AND THE USE OF GERMAN IN
PUBLIC WORSHIP LIKELY TO CAUSE DEBATE.
York Penn. May 10 (speciaD.-The General
Synod OF the Evangelical Lutheran Church In the
United States Of America will meet in st. Paul's
Lutheran Church, in this city. next Wednesday.
This body was organized IN 1920 and meets every
two wears At the meeting in 1921 there were four
district synods now there are twenty-four.
Interest in the Synod centres In the report OF the
committee appointed to draw up new form OF
ministerial acts, which is unable, because OF DIFF
fering views on this subject TO present unani-
nous report This will doubtlessly give occasion
TO some discussion the subject Of infant bap
tism.
There is also likely to be sharp debate upon the
question whether the English language shall be
used in place OF German In the public worship OF
the Church.
The last meeting of the General Synod, in this
city was in 1854, when schism was caused by the
admission into the General Synod Of the Franckean
Synod Of New-York. which, II was alleged, had
not definitely committed Itself 10 the Augsburg
Confession OF Faith. The delegates Of the Penn
sylvania Synod withdrew. and their CHURCHES
Council OF the Lutheran Church was formed in
1861 This latter body has developed into a strong
rival of the General Synod.
