Ogden, Oct. 15.-The Presbyterian
synod continued its session today ac-
cording to the published programme.
| There was a lengthy working session,
during which numerous reports were
received pertaining to the work OF the
benevolent and charitable branches of
| the church work, as well as the reports
on snatters connected with the working
! of the church institutions.
! The ever-present Mormon question"
! cropped out occasionally and was dis
| cussed in its various phases. In par
/ ticular this question came to the fore
! in resolution relating to the work or
! the Sheldon-Jackson college, introduced
/ by Rev. r. G. McNiece of Salt Lake.
! The resolution bespoke support for the
/ institution and expressed gratitude to
/ its benefactors, who had, within the
past year or two, given laVlshly OF their
/ thousands to place the institution upon
a secure financial footing. A continual
/ ton of this support was invoked, and
, the work of the college was reviewed,
1 together with the necessity for the
work and the obstacles met with.
RESOLUTION FOR THE EAST.
This led up to the subject of the
! Mormon church. and a resolution in
general way covered the same ground
l as IUaI OIL the report OedllIlS Will lIlC
mission schools, which was reported in
yesterdays Herald. Perhaps the most
radical statement in the resolution was
that the system of the Mormon church
was SubVersiVe of tFe home. An eff
fort was made to secure the resolution
for publication, but this was denied.
It was explained by one member of
the synod that the resolution was for
the guidance of eastern people inter-
ested in the work, and for such of the
home people as attended the synod, but
that il would not be made public at
this time, though it might be published
at some future date.
The next meeting place Of the synod
was selected, Boise, Ida, being the
place.
The usual resolutions of thanks were
adopted and the minutes Of the synod
approved up to the hour of tonight'S
adjournment.
