He was formerly pastor Of the III, Il.
church in Uniontown and is now
pastor of the James NJ. f. church of
Creighton, Pa Rev. Lynch was
bora in Brownsville March so, IsiI.
Although he is 81 years old he still
has marvellous physique and can
bear the strain of active pastoral
life remarkably we'll. He has been
sick scarcely day during his long
life time and his mental powers are
fully preserved. Since he was or
dained to the ministry IN 1910. 81
years ago, he has never. taken va
cation and during this time has nev
er missed more than couple of
months from pastoral labor all told.
He has delivered over 1900 ser
mons, including two for every Sun

81 years. he has held charges in
"a different places In Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Ohio ard has

| There were few churches then and
it was customary to hold services at
the houses. For years Rev. Lynch
went from house to house mile or
so apart and delivered sermons.
The circuit embraced several charges
and the pastor had to do a great
deal of travelling on horseback. For
several years he delivered a sermon

row.
The second day Of naturalization
for the Fall quarter of the Universe
ty was ushered in under more favor
able auspices, at least metereolooi-
cally, than the first. Owing to diff
ficulties which are obvious, it was
impossible as yet this morning to
form any estimate as TO attendance.
Prof. Barbe, assistant to the Presi-
dent, stated that the number Of stu
dents registered thus far was, he
thought, somewhat greater than the
number registered at the same time
last Fall
OF the students already in, the
number of new students is quite no
ticeable. The old students have
been arriving rather slowly thus far,
but the greater part of the absentees
are expected in to-day and to-mor-
row.
One important change in admins
tration has already been made. Lee
lures, which formerly began at s
will not begin this year until $50
and classes will change on the half
hour. Chapel services will begin at
s. This change meets with the
hearty approval of the students
generally, especially those who have
early morning classes, as yet, nc
other changes in details have been
announced
Several of the professors met theil
classes informally to day, but nc
serious work has been undertaken
All the classes will meet tomorrow
morning, as President Purinton il
DESTROYS of getting affairs into &
semblance of regularity as soon as
possible. Everything will be sus
pended to morrow afternoon.
Col. W.J.WICowden. of Wheeling,
president of the Board of Regents, is
hereiand will deliver short address
at the Convocation exercises. Col
Cowden, after discussing with Pres
ident Purinton and Prof. Barbe The
outlook for the attendance this year
expressed himself as delighted witt
the prospects for most successful
session. He also expressed salts
faction at the rapidity with which
the new buildings are being com
pleted.
The attention OF Col. Cowden was
called to the difficulty which young
lady students are finding in secur
ing desirable rooms. He stated tina
he thought the only way to solve tn,
difficulty was in the erection of
com modious dormitories.
Col Cowden will return to Wheel

the employees will pay fare of from

There are a great many employed at
Benwood Junction who live here
and at Belaire and all make the
