THE SYNODO ALABAMA
ARE HOLDING
 MEETING IN BESSEMER.
Not Believed That the Question of
 Location of the Proposed Col lege Will Be Settled at This Session.

Birmingham, Nov. 14.-0Special. .)-The Synod of Alabama, Southern Presbyte- rian Church, in session at Bessemer, is working hard on the business before 1t. The attendance is large.
 Rev. William Waller, of Selma, opened today's services. Dr. H. c. DuBose, member of the South Carolina Synod, an eminent missionary to China. was re- ceived as a corresponding member. A proposition was received for the sale of the Isabelle College at Talladega to be used for the Synodical College. It seems unlikely at this time that the committee on location for the college will arrive at a decision at this meeting of the Synod. Several propositions from different places have yet to be considered and the de- cision will probably be left to the com mittee for settlement.
 The officers of the Theological Semi nary of Columbia, S. C., made a favor able report of the seminary's work. It is in a prosperous condition.
 An overture was received to divide the Tuscaloosa Presbytery into two presby- teries. but it is now with a committee. Various committees were appointed today. Rev. F. r. McElroy, of Richmond, Va, is present in the interest of the Ministerial Relief Association. Rev. J. s. Shaw pre- sented a resolution looking to an overture to the General Assembly for chansesln that part of the confession of faith which relates to the death of infants. He con tends that as it now is there may be some little one to be lost. He wants to so word it that no one can think this. The matter was referred to the Commit fee on Bills and Overtures.
