by Rev. Il. B. Blakely of Troy.
5. Q. The ret ring moderator. Rev
Boyce FL. Grier of Ora, s. c..
is also the present presiding
moderator.
He is keeping the work well
in hand and the Synod is making
fine progress so far. The call of
the roll showed about 125 dele.
gates and visitors are here from
nine different States. The reports
from the various presbyteries
composing the synod are full and
show the work of the church in
a very prosperous condition.
The Camden church is a very
beautiful one and is as comfort
able as it is handsome. Rev
Richard Lee Robinson of Lancas.
ter, 5. c., is popular and very
efficient pastor. He has a very
fine people and has their entire
confidence. a.
Besides the regular work of
the synod there has been held
three very delightful conferences.
The speakers were Hon. John
ii. Miller of Birmingham, Ala,
who spoke on Erskine college as
factor in Christian education;
Rev. James Boyce, president of
of the Due West Female college,
who spoke on what the Christian
education of our girls mean to
the church. and Rev. G. Z. Nc
Donald of Winnsboro, S. c., of
the relation of Christian educa-
ton to the progress Of the church.
These were all of a very high
order and gave inspiration to the
large crowd present.
Friday morning, Nov. 16, Rev.
w. A. M. Plaxico of Barlow.
Fla, delivered magnificent
sermon to an interested audience.
Rev. w. III. MILAN, d. d.. LII.
d., of Allegheny, Pa, fraternal
delegate for the United Presby-
terian church, next gave splen-
did address to the synod, being
the kindly Christian greetings of
OF the United Presbyterian gem
erai assembly. He made a most
favorable impression on the en-
tire synod and all visitors. The
moderator replied in a happy
and appropriate speech.
In the evening there was a
popular meeting on young peO-
ple's work, when DR.. Charles r.
Watson of Philadelphia, the
corresponding secretary of the
United Presbyterian board of
foreign missions, addressed the
spnod in reference to missions
study in classes. Much good will
accrue from that meeting in rous
ing young people to the study of
missions.
AT 10 o'clock this morning the
Rev. DR.. Moffatt was elected
president of Erskine college. The
impression prevails that he will
accept the place. A splendid
conference is being held on evan.
gelistic work. The speakers are
