will be discussed at this meeting the
dividing of the Synod into two Synods,
making one for Mississippi and an

the boundaries of the respective States,
they having heretofore been one. The
reason for division is increasing size of

To the Churches of Fair River Associa-
THE LEADER is requested to give no
tice to the churches constituting the
Fair River Association that the sew
eral churches composing that body
should increase the size of the usual
contributions sent up to the Associa-
ton for associational purposes Out
of this fund the salaries of the clerk
and treasurer have to be paid and the
cost of printing the minutes. For the
past two or three years, after the min
utes were paid for, there has not been
enough left of the fund for associa-
tional purposes to pay the clerk and
treasurer the salaries allowed them by
the Association. 1t is estimated that
if each church would send to the Asso-
citation 10 cents per copy for the full
number of minutes needed, this would
be sufficient to pay the officers and
for the printing also.
The next meeting of the Association
will be held with the Pleasant Grove
Church, Il miles southwest of Brook
haven, beginning Friday before the
third Sunday in October, and this i'm
portant matter should be given prompt
attention.
