vision of the syrcd. At present the d'
main of the synod includes the state Oh
Mississippi and Louisiana. and 1t is pro-
posed to effect a division in accordahcS
with the state lines. Nearly all the pron--
inent Presbyterian church leaders of the
two states are advocating the division on
the ground that the present organization
IS too unwieldy for perfect government;
1t Is the general opinion that the synod
will adopt resolutions asking the assem-
bly, to rescind it's former action In regard
to the amendments to the confession or
