Tho Committee on Ministerial Education
and Relief In the Southern Presbyterian
Church will hold its first meeting on
Friday next In Louisville.
The very greatest interest is felt here
in the developments that will probably
lend importance to the session. AT the
recent meeting OF the General Assembly
this new committee was formed by con-
solidation Of the Committee on Minis
Jterial Relief, located In this city. and the
Committee on Ministerial Educa tion. To-
Gated in Nashville. The headquarters Of
the new committee are TO be In neither OF
these cities, but In Louisville. KY, where
the meeting Ii 10 be held. The chairman
is the Rev DR.. N. w. Wood. once q pas
tor in Portsmouth, Va.
An interesting situation growing out
OF the consolidation hinges upon the sec
retaryship.: Dr.aJ. II. Iumpkin, of Nash
Vile. is secretary OF Education. and DR..
T.. H. Nc Elroy. Of this city secretary Of
Ministerial Relief. The term Of each ex-
plres on September LIST. There can be
but one secretary for the new committee.
and the question Is now which of these
two prominent ministers will be chosen.
It is Within the bounds of possibility
that neither will be, and that a lew man.
will be selected. g
