-LUTHERAN CONFERENCE.
A correspondent of the Hickory Tavern Eagle gives tho
following account of a late session of the Lutheran Coufrnmco
held in Catawba county :
"Conference met, at time and place, according to previous ar
rangement. Preaching by Hev. Mr.' Peterson, in which ho
ably discussed the subject of the Christain armor. After preach
ings an election was held, which resulted as follows: Rev. J.
M. Smith, President ; Rev. J, R. Peterson, Secretary, and A.
J. Fox. Treasurer.
Tho next business in order before the meeting was an
essay, prepared by the liev. J. R. Peterson, on the subject of
good works, which was called for and read; this placed tho
subject before the meeting for discussion.
After some able and intelligent discussion a resolution was
offered : . . . v
''Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that good work.,
are
newaixrwthr or do not nec
essarily contribute anything towards making biihn christian no more
- Uiamhe, good. work., aud Uarky ldd" to ls fellow-xhHdren"
contributes to making himself a child; l-thTnk "IhrBTs fclcarly "cons"
ceivable and admisblo to every mind that a child cannot be capablo
of any of those things until ho is a child and inasmuch as he is inca
pable of pei forming a good work in the sight of God, until ho is a
child of God j so then, as the child acts because he is a child, so also
the christian acts because be is a christian, and not in order to become
one. Dut ir conclusion I will say that where pure faith is-cherished
iu vnu ueiirt oi i(io ueiierer mere is true ennsunnuy noni wnenco
good works AW as free as water from its fountain bead. s "-
After the adoption of this subjec'. ni' before mentioned, the meet
ing was then adjourned till Satuiday morning nine o'clock, with
..naaulJEixurcues. - j - . .. j
Conference met accorcliiig1 to a(ljovrimient, with tho usual exercis
es, preaching by the Jtt v. . . I. A, Fox, after an able and eloquent
shower of Divine intelligence in which consisted in not only the
drops but the spoutings of the sonl-strctigthcningaiid soul-rt freshing
powers of Devine intelligence, tho Unfinished business of Friday
.was then resumed. . -, . - - ----'
The essay pi ejar(d by Rev, J. M. Smitlijipon the subject of tho
Union of the North (mitiiivi .'rid Tennessee Synods, was presented
and read. This placed the' subject hi fore the meeting for discussion,
whereapon a considerable ('iscuesicu ensued resulting in tho opia
ion pfjhe mceiing that a union was expedient, bm not practicable at
preseiit. . . ....... ,
The meeluig then adjourned to meet on Friday before the. last
Sunday in March, 1SC2, in Ciirist's Churchy Gaston county, N. C.
Sunday morning arrived which brought anxiety and gratitude anx
ious to receive the imperishable bread distributed grat filed to see so
many apparently ready and waiting to receive. W hen the hour ar
rived for preaching, the andienct was entertained by Brother F6x,
who delivered an t-lilcient discourse 'iiponMAcsubject of theJUKeya
"of the KingJoiu." For refietliiijenMO ininntes were lwd.
After which tho congregation reassembled aud were entertained by
Brother Peterson, with an appropriate sermon to the occasion ; after
which confesit)ti and absolution ncre Attended to, whereupon tho
Lord's supper was admiuiecrcd, in which a goodly number were
partakers. .
