Excerpt from P. C, Henkel Vindicates Himself Against the Foul Calumnies and Misrepresentations of the So-Called Evangelical Lutheran Tennessee Synod Re-Organized Furthermore, as there is a distorted relation of matter given in the minutes of the so called Re-organized Synod, and certain notes draughted and underplotted by some unknown pen for, I am credibly informed, that those notes were not drawn up, read, and sanctioned in the session of the so called Re-organized Synod, and in addition, I apprehend that they must be the production of some one individual, as will appear from page 14, where it is said; '6 If this is not sin ning againet'the Holy Ghost, I am mistaken. I from hence conclude that the secretary was quite bigoted, or the above idea is correct. Otherwise, he would have said, we are mistaken, instead of I am &c. And whereas the whole scope of the notes, together with the dis torted source from whence they are drawn, is nothing more than a piece of diabolical perversion and misrepresentation 3 and that the reader may not only'have my ipse dixit to rely upon, I shall here let my worthy brethren from Miller's'and St. John's churches, testify. The public can rest assured, that those who gave and undersigned the following, are men of undoubted veracity, and think it beneath their dignity to bear testimony concerning things which never transpired within their own observation.
