Seventy Lay Delegates.

posing the synod, but their names will .1ot
| be known until the roll is made up by the
|
| Probably the most interesting portion of
| the proceedings, so far as the membership
| is concerned, outside of the election of
president, secretary, treasurer and men,
| bers of the examining committee, will be
| the choice of members of the various
| standing committees whose terms expire
| this year. These are: Trustees of Tressler
! Orphans Home, the incumbents being Rev.
| Drs. Studebaker and w. H. Dunbar: the
education committee. Revs. J. G. Butler 1.

A. Homrighous; the advisory board of
home missions. Revs. S. A. Diehl, S. Do
n.er, P. H. Miller S. A. Hedges and NJ. L.

| p. H. Miller, NJ. L. Beard, o. c. Roth, G.
S. Bowers and Mr.. F. w. Kaffel. and the
committee resolutions, Revs George
| Beiswanger, r. l.. Patteson and E. FELTON,.
| The term of Rev. C. S. Albert, DID. as a
director in the Theological Seminary at
! Gettysburg, will also expire, and it is prob
! able that, while DR.. Albert will be chosen
his own successor, an additional director
| will also be elected, the synod will be
| entitled to one more member of the board
| than 1t has heretofore had, provided the
roll of its membership exceeds more than
che hundred ministers. This, it is believed,
will be the case, as several young men, now
candidates for the ministry. expected
| to be admitted in this connection during the
sitting of the convention.
President Trump Will Preside.
The meeting of the synod will be called
| to order promptly at pm. tomorrow by

| tional committee. 1t is expected that these
n alters will occupy the attention of the
synod during the whole of the afternoon
| session AT 1880 o'clock the synodical COM
| munion will be celebrated. In this service
only the ministerial and lay delegates will
| B2rticiDate. The communion address will
| be delivered by Rev. D. F. Garland
1t is probable that at the close of this
| meeting the president will announce the
appointment of a number of committees
| and declare the synod ready for business.
Wednesday day sessions will be devoted
| to general business, but in the evening ad-
dresses will be delivered by Rev. DIR. Zim-
norman, Rev. r. l.. Patterson and Rev. G.
