departure being imperative the gentleman
was given the floor to make a statement
in relation to the affairs of the Longmont
Synodical college. He spoke on the sub
iect at length. The institution Is not in
a fourishing condition but the president
hoped that the dawn was close at hand.
In a non-committal manner he reviewed
the project to remove the college to Den

ing the citizens of Longmont who had
contributed to its establishment.
Rev. Thompson and Elders Holt and
Davidson were excused. The name of
Rev. John Mclean was substituted for
that of the last named elder on the
committee on the records of the Denver
P~resbytery.
By resolution the standing committees
on publication and Sabbath schools were
consolidated. This was in conformance
with the recommendation Of the assembly
in the premises.

geographical boundaries reported some
changes in Southern Colorado which were
adopted.
Rev. Frank w. Vinson, D. D., of the
Iowa conference was invited to sitas a cor
responding member of the synod.
There was a lengthy discussion on the
report of the Denver presbytery. There
were Irregularities in the document and
here the stated clerk and the organization
FLASHED. Ali disputes were finally AMIGA
bly, settled. The report was recommitted
to the presbytery for revision. Revs.
Mclean and Lee were prominent in the
discussion Of the erroneous report.
The special order of the day, the report
of the committee on the petition of the
Longmont college, was now taken up. A
lengthy speech on the subject was made
by Rev. Hopkins of Denver. OF course
he would greet with pleasure the removal
of the institution to his city, but was firm
in the stand that Longmont should not be
wronged. The petition was in the form
of a contract between the synod and the
college trustees, f%orbidding the estab-
lishment of a college elsewhere in the
synod.
Pending the consideration of the peti-
ton an adjournment was taken until
Monday morning at 10 o'clock.

paper entitled: Foreign Missions-Their

original thoughts were presented quite
ably by the lady. The subject could
scarcely have been handled better.

and ready public speakers. One Of the
questions, Should n~on-professing chris
tians be allowed to sing in church choirs?"
