 l when the Synod reconvened In the
 afternoon the special order for the hour
 was the report of the Southwestern Presbyterian University. This report showed an improved financial standing and good work being done by the Ciarksviiie (Tenn.) institution.
 Dr. Neander M- Woods, Chancellor or the University. was introduced and he presented the cause of the school. He gave a full account of the workings Of the institution and expressed the belief that the University was entering into a period of great prosperity. With an endowment of $500.000 and with excel lent buildings and equipment and good faculty. he did not see how this could fail to be accomplished. There are at present only eighty students at the University but. he was glad to say. that practically every one of these students is a student in more than name and more than that, men of Christian habits and beliefs. Only four men in the college, he said. are not affiliated with some church and those four men. he believed to be Christians at heart and men who soon intended protesting their faith.
 He enlarged on the idea of Christian education and said that it was cry ing shame that Harvard University. with all its money. students. and equip ment. everything from worldly point of view, should be headed by an atheist, however brilliant a man that atheist might be. He made an urgent appeal for Christian education and for the support of the Clarksville Univer- sity by the Synod of Alabama.
 On motion the remarks of Dr. Woods were referred to the Committee on the Southwestern Presbyterian University. Rev. E. L. Hill, of Eufaula, introduc. ed an overture calling on the Synod to appropriate $700 for the maintenance of the church at Auburn. an important charge owing to the presence of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute in that village. The overture was referred to the Committee on Bills and Overtures. Eulogies on the Dead. The Synod then went into it's an- nual memorial service in honor of the memory of departed ministers of the Presbyterian denomination within the bounds of the synod of Alabama Eulo- gistic memoirs were read on the late Rev. M. M. McGillivray by Rev. B. L.. Hill, the late Rev. J. D. Dean by Rev. J. P. Anderson, the late Rev. J. A. Berry by Rev. A. S. Latimer and the late Rev. J. L. Reed by Captain J. L. Dean. Nominations were then called for the next meeting place of the Synod. Tal- ladega, Decatur and Anniston were put in nomination. but 1t was soon apparent that TaIladega was the predominating choice and Talladega was selected In that town Is the Alabama Synodical College for Women. and the Orphans Home of the synod. It Is contem- plated that the representatives after the TaIladega meeting shall go to An- niston to dedicate the Alabama Synodi- | cal College for Men.
 The Synod then on motion took recess until 7:30 o'clock.
