EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.
DR.. Butler then read the report from the
committee or education. Sixteen young men
were under the care of the synod at the open
ing OF the synodical year; $2,2S5 70 had been
disburscd during the year.
The treasurer had advanced for the commit
tee SGS6.S5. Last year the deficit was S2i4. Is.
Owing to these two deficits the committee had
not felt warranted i'll giving encouragement TO
additional students.
The question Of what shoul Id be done under
the circumstances as tC additional benc fciarv
education was discussed Il. some length. 1t
was question of extending the fund or max
ing it the voice OF the synod that no further
students be aided Tor tie present. A motion was
made providing that nc more applicants for
aid be received Dr.. Valentine opposed tho
motion Rev p. II. Miller also spoke in oppo-
sltlon. 1t was Oily matter OF raising money.
he thought, and the synod should not refuse
aid to any young mar striving to tit himself for
tie ministry. 1t was brought out that several
men had been supported whose fathers were
able to educate them.
NOT IN FAVOR OF CUTTING THEM OFF.
DIR. Parson thought the apport;onment for
this purpose should be raised and moro money
obtained. He also thought young men who
desired to study for the church and whose
fathers were able to educate them should not
be refused aid on that ground. If the father
Is able but will not aid his son and the synod
also refuses the candidate is lost to the church.
The discussion was continued, and finally the
portion of the committees report announcing
the intention of receiving no more applicants
unless the synod SO directed was rejected
Finally MIR. Bike moved that the committee be
instructed to accept any proper and DESTROYS
applicant for aid
MIGHT EMBARRAss THE COMMITTEE.
DIR. Butler thought the resolution would put
the committee in rather bad way unless
further money be given them. The judgment
of the committee was that no further appli-
cants be received this year. Mr. Bike with
drew his resolution for the present. DR.. AL
bert expressed his intention of offering reso-
luton providing TINT the appOrtionment for
the coming year for education be the same as
formerly, but that the churches be asked for
contributions to pay Off the deficit Of this COM
mittee. lie pledged st. Marks (Baltimore)
for S100 Of the 800 needed.
The vote by which the portion of the report
was rejected was then reconsidered and the
paragraph adopted. This leaves it the sense
Of the synod that no furthe: applicants be re-
a whole was then adopted
RAISING MONEY.
DR.. Albert then offered his resolution provid-
ing that as formerly, $1,000 be apportioned
for the beneficiary education committee, but
that especial contributions be asked for the
payment of the deficit. Mr. Albert pledged
elO0 from st. Marks Church. Baltimore.
