THE TRIENNIAL SYNOD.
THE MORAVIANS OF THE SOUTE>
ERN PROVINCE IN SESSION.
Report ofthe Opening Session-Bishop
RondIhaIer's Address-Provin
cial Board of Elders.

The Triennial Synod of the Southern
District of American Province of the
Moravian church convened Wednes-
day, November 18th.
This Province is composed of the
Moravian churches of Forsyth, Davie,
Davidson and Stokes counties. of
North Carolina, and Carroll county,
Virginia. The active ministry of this
Province, all of whom were present, is
composed of Bishop Rondthaler and
Revs. A. d. Thaeler, j. II. Clewell, Jas.
E. Hall, J. NJ. Inclusion, E. S. Cros-
land and Saml Woosley.
There was quite a large attendance
of lay members and much enthusiasm
was manifested.
The service was opened with a dox-
ology invoking the grace OF God and
presence of His Holy Spirit in the de-
liberaticuS.
Rev. Mr.. Clewell read a scripture
lesson from st. Paul's Epistle to the
Ephesians.
Rev. Mr.. Hall offered prayer, ask
ing the guidance of God in the con-
duct of the Synod and its work.
Bishop Rondthaler addressed the
Synod. VERY quickly" said he, ''has
varied occurrences and we have come
again to the beginning of another TIL
ennial gathering, and the ProvincSal
Elders again lay at your feet the au-
thority vested in US with an account
of its varied results"
The Bishop charged the Synod to
thoroughly understand the great re-
sponSibility resting upon 1t as the
great executive of the church on
Es ia 10 i-a v1Tr
thing that the Lord will hold us re-
sponsible for it is our actions for the
welfare of his church.
The Bishop urged them to dispatch
work with diligence, TeYerance and
Weakness.
This being the smallest of all the
districts of the Moravian World your
duties are the more weighty and re-
Sponsible," said the Bishop.
Bishop Rondthaler declared the
Synod open for business, after which
he was elected chairman of the body.
Mr. Howard Rondthaler was elected
secretary with MIR. Q. E. Crist as as
sistant. The credentials of delegates
and roll of officers were called for.

Province represented are as follows:
Salem, Centerville, East Salem,
Bethabara, Bethania, Eriedberg, Fried

Chapel, and Wachovia Arbor.
Tie reading OF the report of the
Board of Provincial Elders, composed
of Bishop Rondthaler, Rev. James E.
Hall and DR.. n. >. SEWERS, was be-
gun by Bishop Rondthaler. The re-
port as far as read was an interesting
one and, reviewed the work of the
Province for the past three years. The
reading was interrupted by the tellers
who reported that out Of the nine
who were to be elected as a commit
tee on the constitution only two had
received the required twO-thiTds ma
iOrity Another ballot was taken for
the remaining seven members of the
committee. Pending the counting of
the ballot the Synod adjourned until
two o'clock.
