UTAH IN SESSION .
Tenth Annual Meeting OF the Synod in this
State-Claim OF Superior Staying"
Qualities Over Other SeCts.

This mornings session OF the Pres
byterian synod was taken up principal
ly by the report OF various committees.
REV. David Clemens was elected mod
orator and assumed his duties without
making any remarks. Much time was
consumed in discussing recommenda-
ton made by the committee on foreign
missions, TO the effect that two contri-
buttons be taken up by each church
during the year, for the maintenance Of
the foreign missions The discussion
was quite earnest, some Of the minis
tiers c0ntending that two collections
were too much for that purpose. The
matter was settled by adopting sub
sutute resolution that was drawn up
hy d. MCNicCe urging that the
churches make q special effort 70 raise
more funds for the foreign missions the
coming year than was done In the year
Just past

recommended I'm it, report that an in
Nesugati0n be made 20 ascertain TO
what extent Sabbath breaking ab0unds
in Utah. and what form Of sabbath
dissertation is most prevalent. The re-
port was adopted.

uuaI report as synodical missionary.
