POLYCAMY WAS
MUCH DISCUSSED.
Synod Of Virginia Was Unable TO
Come to An Agreement On
Question.
WAS A BUSINESS sEssI
NO Time Spent il, Elaborate
spcccl,es--Report On
Bills Received.

rho third day of the session of the
r,rnsbv,erlan Synod of Virginia opened
Yesterday morning with the discussion OF
.ome very important matters, chiefly tho
o,cstion of the practice of polygamy In
tho foreign field and how 1t should be
d..,, with by the Church, and with the
question of home missions. Reports on
foth were read and received from the
two committees representing them. No
unanlmity could be gained on the sub
1cct or polygamy.t and no action could
be taken. The matter Will probably come
,ip again in some future meeting, when
II may be That some plan for the prevcn-
ton Of this custom shall be suggested
end adopted AT present the subject Is
reiegatcd to an npathetic sentiment.
The report on home missions was en-
couragIng and showed the noble work
that Is being accomplished IN this cause.
The morning was devoted strictly to
business, and there We're no impassioned
appeals or flights Of Oratory In the be-
half OF some crying need, as OH the day
before. The Synod got through with what
was of the dull routine An interesting
feature, however, was the report on
cvangelistic work, and the one on the
Orphans Home. The synod takes great
pride In Its proved ability to care for the
children Of destitute Presbyterian minis
tiers and missionaries, and the subject
occasioned much interest and enthusiasm.
In the afternoon the synod attended In
body the laying Of the cornerstone of
the Church OF the Covenant.
To-day the assembled pastors of the
Synod Will conduct tho services in al
most all OF the churches OF the city.
There arc many prominent Presbyterians
here. many :yho have achieved pulpit
fame. and all devotional IN their sin
certify and faith. The city Will be given
over 10 Presbytcrianism, for the word Of
Christ Will be preached by Presbyterian
lips from every pulpit in the city.
Detailed Report.
The third day of the session OF the
Presbyterian Synod OF Virginia, which
was opened with devotional exercises.
conducted by Rev. Ben. Hnrrop, yester-
day morning. presented some important
features and discussions.
The report OF Dr. i. J. Brooke, OF the
Committee on Conference, with the Synod
of West Virginia. urges that the two
synods shall carry out the agreement
made by tho two asscmblys in 1883. The
sense OF this agreement is tina, the two
churches shall not come into competition
with each other where friction would
be caused, but shall make 1t their en-
deavor not 10 waste their energies where
one church can do the work.

The coming school election will
bea hard fought one. Leaving the
remuneration out of the question
we hope the voters will elect
men fitted for the position and
men who will take a pride in up
building the handsome school sys-
tenn already established. A few
paltry dollars should not be consid.
cred when it comes to getting good
service. A good off :ial is deserv.
ing good wages and this fact should
be considered. The position on the
school board is no since ure and on
ly few men and women in a com
munity are capable of handling the
same. So don't bite off more than
you can chew. There is something
to do besides drawing salaries.
