, PIrsBUR0H STNoD-The Laymen's
Convention Of the Pittsburgh Synod met
at 0 O'Clock Saturday morning. The fol.
lowing resolutions were offered and after
considerable discussion were adopted;
Feeling that the great aim Of our church
should be OF the present time TO educate
and fit young men for the ministry, be it
therefore
ReSolced 1st, That each lay delegate on

clusively for educating ministers Of the

er church pspsss, as soon as practicable.
The Convention then adjourned.
Synod was called to order by the Pres.
ident. Much work was done during the
forenoon but nothing 10 interest the pub.
lie. In the afternoon no session Of the
Synod was held but in its place prepar.
atory service Tor yesterdays communion
services which was conducted by Rev.
Finkbiner.
In the evening the services were devot-
ed to the cause OF Home Missions and were
conducted BY Rev. Goodlin. Both after.
noon and evening services were well at.
tended.
Yesterday members Of the Synod filled
nearly all the pulpits in this city and
Bridgeport Snd as q general thing the
churches were well filled.
Yesterday afternoon the Sunday school
services at the Lutheran church were
very interesting and impressive. The
black board exercises were conducted by
Mr.. John II. Zerely in his usually able
manner. Addresses were delivered by
Revs. GOodlln, Rsby and Delo, Mr.. Yea.
ger Of Pittsburgh, and others. During
the services an effort was made to raise a
library for the school, and about 1925 was
soon subscribed. The school sang several
hymns during the service, and it was gen.
erallv remarked by the audience that the
singing was lar above the average; in fact
many said they never before attended a
school that sang so well. The church
was crowded, and although the services
were protracted fur beyond the usual time
ofclosipg, none seemed wearied but we
believe most OF those present regretted
that the closing service came SO soon.
In the evening the services were con-
Quoted by Rev. Goodlin. After the SER
mon, which was an able and eloquent dis.
course, Rev. IL Il. Hall was ordained a
minister Of the gospel. The ordination
service was very impressive, We neg.
lected to mention that at the communion
services in the morning, several members
were received into the church. In the
afternoon Revs. Mclaughlin and Gheen
were taken 10 the Jail by Mr.. VIM. Exley
where they conducted religious services
before the prisoners.

sHoULDBE SToPPED.-1i we are rightly
informed, when the city gave the B. & o.
r. Il. permission to run trains through
John Street, it was agreed that each train
should be preceded by flagman. II is
done about half OF the time. Saturday
we saw train, which had no llsgman,
come very near running over horse and
cart; and only a day or two previous a
train was stopped just in time to save it
from running over a horse and wagon.
If the railroad company is bound to have
tiagman prccede every train, We think
they should be made to do so, as it is dan.
gerous enough on John Street even then.

The London Saturday Revie,0 lays
aside its lancet when it speaks thus of
American poets:
. It is noteworthy fact that while in
most other branches of literature the
United States can boast Of compara-
lively few writers either of the first or
second rank, aud are mainly dependent
on England for all but the lower and
more ephemeral class Of books, In
poetry serious on humorous, they are
hardly less fertile, either in quality OF
quantity, than the mother country.
England has scarcely more than one or
two living poets whom the common
consent Of cultivated men would rank
decidedly above Longfellow, Bryant,
Lowell, and Whittier no living satarist
superior to the author Of the "Big-
low Papers, 20 master Of the special
humor which depends on the adroit
use of dialect peculiarities who can
pretend to surpsss Leland, or Bret
Harte, or Hay. Of minor poets, who
will hardly make their mark in SO
busy a generation, in field SO crowded,
but who nevertheless can write what is
worth reading, the name is Legion.
