CHESTER-The Lantern, Novem-
Der IL: The synod of the A. R. P.

yesterday at 11.30. A fairly good

had been announced that he would
not be here and that the sermon would
be preached by his alternate but
he found at last that he could come
His text was taken from John xiv, H.
1t Was an able aud thoughtful sermon
and peculiarly appropriate to the oc-
casion. After eurolliug delegates, the
moderator introduced his successor,
Rev. J. c. Galloway, D. D., of Gas
tonia, N. c., and retired. Visiting

solved 10 meet hereafter at 9.15 and
adjourn at 2.l5; meet again AT 7 p. m.
and adjourn ut pleasure. The evening
session was largely taken up with d
conference on Erskine college, DR..
w. M. Grier presided and spoke of
the fathers of the church who founded
this institution, the pioneer of church
colleges in the state. He presented in
a very forcible way the grand exam
pie of these noble men, who despite
poverty, hardships, Indifference, and
actual opposition, persevered in faith,
and triumphed over what many would
have considered insurmountable OBJ
stacles. Rev. w. w. Orr made live
ly address on what Erskine college
ought to be. He took the seven let
ters OF which Erskine is composed and
made each stand for some quality
which the institution should possess,
as enterprise, religion, kindness, indi-
viduality, numbers, economy, each of
which was dwelt upon briefly. Rev.
E. P. McClinLock spoke very briefly
but very forcibly on what the college
stands for. After the close of the con-
ference, the body proceeded to busi-
ness. The first item being the selec-
tion of place for next meeting. Char
lotte, N. c., and Rlchland, Tenn, were
