SYNOD OF VIRGINIA.

The discussion in the Synod which
awakened most interest, was one IN rela.
tor to a memorial from various reigi US
DENOMINATIONS, petitoning the Legislature
10 pass law Incorporating literary be-
nrvolent and religious societies. This
memorial was referred to an able commit.
tee OF which the Rev. DR.. Atkinson was
chairman. The report Of the committee
however, was not discussed nor was a
paper on the subject introduced by DR..
P9mer the Rev. p. HARRISON having
offered substitute for both, more accep-
able to the minds of the members. This
substitute called 10Th very spirited dis
cussion, in which Messrs Harris Smith
" hte, and 9th RS, together with DIS.
Mcfarland, Atkinson and Plumer took
p RS. DR.. Plumer's speech, which was
an hour and hall long, was very abe,
sometimes witty, and uniformly interes,
ing. The substitute was passed with
great unanimlty. The Rev. J. Arms.
tead, however, introducing two additional
resolutions. another discussion Of consid-
erablc warmth arose upon the latter
which recommended the appointment Of a
committee, under gwen circumstances, TO
present TO The Legislature The views of
the Synod upon the Eolnt in d. BATE
This resolution was lost by vote Of
about IS to 81. The subject Of Agen-
cies, the Central Board of ssions-the
report of the Directors of the Uni Sem
mary, and several ct er subjects also ell
cited many pung nj and interesting re-.
marks. But the vision has now passed.
and we proceed TO notice the Two las,
days of The Synod.
SABBATH.--Arfangements had been
made to. Furnish with preaching eight pull
pits besides that Of the Presbyterian
Church. In The Presbyterian Church
the Rev. Jesse AJmstead, from Cumber-
land, preached at IL, from Phil. Ill. To-
ID. The sermon was one Of universal
excellence and power. Drs. Graham, At
ktnson and Hrndron, then procreted to
administer the Sacrament Of the Lords
Supp'r. About five hundred commun-
csats were present, and tn scene was
one, which, II is likely, none ofthem will
ever forget. The remarks of the aged
and venersblr DR.. HendIon, as well as
the prayer Of DR.. Reid, were peculiarly
melting. The Rev. BENZ. Smith pr ach.
ed IN the afternoon to Very lnrge and
crowded house. And considering the
fact that he changed his Disc urse IN the
pulpit TO SUIT the very large auditory 10
him so un' xpeeledly pres nj, and also
that the afternoon was so short, his SER
mon was one Of much ,nter. st. His man
ner IS SOMEWHAT peculiar, and well adapt
ed to produce botn clear conviction and
dep solemnity of mind.
The Missionary meeting at night was
one of peculiar interest. The instructions
of Hon. Walter Lowrie we're first deliver
ed to Mr.. Brown. The Missionary then
made his farewell address and appeal 10
christians. The Rev. Mr.. Lyburn, at
the direction Of Synod, then gave part
ing adeu to our young Brother. The as.
semoly wac unusually large, many stand
Jog for the want OF seats. The whole |
scene was impressive, and may no doubt
lbtaIned view the Missionary enter.

THE METHoDIsT CHURCH.

The question Of a division between the
Northern aud Southern portion Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, en- accoun,
Of the difficulties growing ou, OF The
slavery question, continues to be sgitated
in some portions of the country. The n.
Y. Tribune says:
The plan of division finds general favor
al the South, while in some of the Nor
thern and Middle States, it meets with
firm opposition, and seems likely to fail,
Iif for no other reason, for want Of The
constitutional majority of three fourths of
the travelling preachers. The Illinois
Conference, at It's late session, passed
resolution strongly deprecatlng the mea.

Monday in May, 1916, to take into con-
sheraton The present state oil the Church,

Conference, and, il possible, provide for
the continued unity and tranquility of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.
Rev. Or. Durbin, President Of Dickin-
son College, Carlisle, Pa.-one Of the
ablest men in the denominaton--has pub.
lished communication in the last Chris
tan Advocate and Journal, recommend
ing compromise OF existing difficulties,
on the following basis:
l. No minister who is a STAKEHOLDER,
or who by gift, conveyance, or sale, has
continued men, women or children, 10
slavery, shall exercise the Office Of blsa-
op in the Church, so long as his connec-
lion with slavery exists, except so far as
the allowance of reasonable time to ena.
BILE hun 70 release himself thereirom. -
The Judgment OF the General Conference,
by a vote of two thirds Of the members
present, shall be final, both as to the fact
Of the connection with slavery within the
meaning Of the compromise, and OF the
reasonable time 10 be allowed for accom-.
plishng the contemplated release there
from.
9. No minister having avowed or &C.
ted upon the distinctive principles Of abo.
luonlsm, of which fact the General Con.
ference shall judge, shall exercise the oil.
fee OF bishop in the Church until he
shall have reesnted and gwen assursn.
ces for the future to the satisfaction OF the
General Conference.
3. There shall be no appeal to the
General Conference Of any case or ques.
ton connected with slavery arising in
any Annual Conferences but each An
nual Conference shall have full and final
Jurisdiction over all such casts, judging
and determining them according 10 the
provisions now existing IN he Discipline,
excep: the right OF appeal, which is hereby
tax n away.
DR.. Dnrbin expresses the lief that
this plan Of compromise would be acct p
table to vast majority Of ministers and
members, North and South, il they could
be brought I" the test aud that if the
late General Conference could now be
r assembled, large majority OF that
body also would be found IN its favor
The Object OF the compromise is at once
to protect the South from Abolition and
ths North from Slavery; and this cannot
be done without excluding the whole
question from the General Conference.
