THE PRESIDENCY.
just before the meeting of the convention
little knots OF delegates began discussing the
probable success of DR.. Hennighausen as
president. The rules of the synod forbid
two terms for the president, so Mr. Hennig-
hausen could not be considered for reelection
Many delegates thought that the presidency
properly belonged to Washington, but
probably the most prominent candidate men,
was Rev. A. ii. Studebaker OF Baltimore.

]. W. Dunn with DR.. Parson, Mr..

THE OPENING EXERCISES
Promptly at 2 o'clock Rev. DR.. Hennighau-
sen, the president, opened short devotional
exercise. Many ladies were present
and tho body of the church was fairly well
hled. Prayer WAS offered by Rev. Dr.
Morris, the patriarch of the synod.
DIR. Morris is eighty-tive years old, but his
voice is strong and full and his appearance
active and energetic.
After the devotional exercises the roll was
called after which the credentials of the lay
delegates were received and recorded.
DR.. Morris at this stage wanted the rolls of
the synod revised. Applications for member
ship in other synods were received and also
applications for membership.
President Hennighausen then commenced
the reading OF his annual report
Ex-POstmaster Wheat's Case.
Although District Attorney Hoge has not had
his attention officially drawn to the case of ex-
Postmaster Wheat he anticipates that he will
soon be called on to take action. and then he
will take measures for his arrest and indict-
ment.
