Lutherans May Unite. The Lutherans of this city, as in tho country at large, look with much inter- st upon the result of the labors of the general council of the American Lutheran bodies. As is known, there are many Lutheran bodies, known as Thus the German churches and Norwegian churches and the Swedish churches and other bodies as well have their synods. Since. 1867 there has been a loose association mostly for the purpose of conducting foreign missionary work, known as the general council.

It is composed of representatives of all the leading synods. The meeting in question was held in Easton, and was the most harmonious ever held. It definitely laid down the articles of faith on which there was a possibility of Lutheran union and it is the opinion of close observers that this union is not so 'ar away as has been imagined. In brief those bodies which accept without reserve the doctrines of the church as voiced in the Augsburg confession are deemed true Lutherans. The Icelandic synod made overtures to como under the general council also and the Norwegian synod will be more intimately connected with it in the future.

As a bond of union it was decided to establish a publishing house, and editors and assistants were elected. HARMON. Oct. 29-J. M.
