THE SYNOD WILL
MEET NEXT WEEK
Old Question Of Division VIII

The Presbyterian Synod OF Virginia will

OF the Richmond ministers will be in at
tendance,
Apart from the routine work of the
Synod, always of interest and Importance
to tho denomination, there are one or
two special matters that ARE likely to
come UP. Tho old question of the division
Of the Synod will be one OF the leading
issues. Last year this matter was laid on
the table. but 1t will DO on the floor
again. Every preparation Is being made
for desperate struggle by the dtri-
sionlsts and for an equally hard fight by
those opposed to tho movement. 1t APP
pears that those who favor division are
in the majority. and that II the
vote were taken on the question
OF division In its simple fol m
they would win. But they are split
among themselves, one faction favorlnE
division into two parts and another adj
vocating division into three. The two fac
lions cannot reach an agreement, and the
side who favor the continuation of the
present bounds Of tho body Is larger than
either faction, though not 80 large as
both. Hence, so long as the split con-
tinues the Synod will probably remain as
It Is.
Another important matter will be the
orphange report. There are rumors OF
some decidedly interesting developments
that are possible in this direction. The
orphanage work itself will probably COM
mand considerable attention. 1t Is Just
opening up under the Rcv. c. W. Max
