II would entail no hardship or inflict any
Injustice on the one Sound in the faith"
and it would most certainly serve to pro-
feet our Church from possible future
trouble in the admission of those whose
doctrinal integrity is questioned Over
lures to the next General Assembly with
this object in view, may be sent up from
some of the spring Presbyteries.
The two overtures from Ell Paso and
Paris Presbyteries touching the ortho-
doxy of DR.. Caldwell, were referred to
Fl Worth Presbytery, with instructions
to make the investigation. The Presby-
terry has been ordered to meet at Itaska,
on the 18th Of November for that purpose.
It is impossible, at this stage of the mat
ter, to forecast the result
A casual onlooker at the Synod would
easily see that there is decided liberal"
wing in that body; as the Central edito-

cent General Assembly, without affect
ing whatever the pretence of playing the
prophetic role, tyro could almost I'M

on to bunch" at critical junctures. And
the serious thing in the whole matter is,
that this leaven of liberalism is steadily
growing throughout the Southern Church.

to the cause of education in reference to

|
the Assembly's inception of a regular
executive committee, the following re-
concentrations were adopted: l. That
the Synod heartily approve this attempt
of the Assembly. 2. That all ministers
and sessions be urged to arrange for
taking up annual collections, viz, on the
last Sabbath of December and March,
or as near this time as practicable. 8.
| That Presbyteries be asked to change
the name of their respective Committees
on Church and Christian Education to
that Of the Synods Committee on
| Schools and Colleges. a. That Synod
instruct each Presbytery to organize as
soon as practicable permanent commit
tee on Schools and Colleges, whose duty
and power shall be to keep alive a deep
interest in this great cause.
The report from the Southwestern
Presbyterian University showed that in
st1tution to be in q very prosperous con-
dition. Synod expressed it's appreciation
of the efficiency and diligence of the
chancellor and the new professors. Rev.
w. M. Anderson, and Hon. H. c. Merritt
were elected to succeed themselves as
members of the board of directors. Rep
resentatives of Rogersville Synodical
College made favorable and encourag-
ing report.
Rev. H. H. Newman, and his associ-
ates, in charge of the Monroe Harding
orphanage, were commended for their
fidelity. Synod expressed regret at the
limited number of inmates, there being
twenty-eight only, when there is ample
capacity for one hundred. The overture
sent up by the Nashville Presbytery,
asking that the Presbyterian Church, U.
S. A, be allowed to cooperate in this
work, was answered as follows: Synod
deems it unwise at this time to take the
action proposed especially so in the alb
sence of any definite plan or suggested
basis of sucn cooperation.
The state of religion within the
bounds of Synod is encouraging. There
are indications of improvement, es-
pecially in keeping the Sabbath, in the
interest and efficiency of the Sabbath
school training, in the instance of ad-
ditions to the membership of the
Church, and in contributions to the var
iouS benevolent causes of the Church.
The question of Ministerial Endow-
ment was considered in very earnest
way, which anticipates a wider interest
in the promotion of this fund. Popular
meetings were held in the interest of
Home and Foreign Missions. The gifts
during the past year have been larger
than formerly.
On the whole this was among the best
meetings of the Synod of Tennessee.
There were more than one hundred and
fifty in attendance. A sweet, harmon
ious spirit prevailed. At the close of
the Synodical communion, it being an
nounced that Bishop Galloway of the
M. E. Church, South, was stricken with
critical illness, special prayer was Of
fered for his recovery. Rev. and Mrs.
Mcdonald proved themselves most de-
lightful host and hostess, while the hos
pitality of the people was just a repeti-
ton of that trait which is so charact-
eristic of Southern people. Synod adj
journed to meet in the First Presbyter-
ian church, Chattanooga, Tenn.

CHURCH NEWS
VIRGINIA.

From the meeting of Synod, in Staun-
ton, the brethren went everywhere
preaching the word, in all the villages
and high places of the hill country
For Sunday, October 28th:
Rev. D. M. Douglas of Baltimore
went to Lexington and preached morn
ing and evening.
DR.. Harris E. Kirk of Baltimore went
to Augusta church to preach for Mr.
Vandevanter.
Rev. H. Tucker Graham of Farmville
was in the Waynesboro pulpit.
Rev. A. G. Hopkin, Jr., was at Hebron
church.
Rev. w. S. Campbell preached at
Craigsville, Ertalines and Augusta
Springs.
At Thinking Spring, DR.. Chas. Ghiselin

At Harrisonburg, the Rev. M Meg.
Shields of Norfolk supplied the pulpit.
The Rev. A. S. Venable, of Northamp-
ton, was thepreacher at New Providence.
The Rev. Geo. H. Gilmer was at Basic
City.
The Rev. James R. Graham, Jr., of
the China Mission, preached on Missions
in China at Bethesda church.
The Miller School of Albermarle county
has recently been the scene of a very
remarkable religious awakening On
last Sunday DR.. Eggleston of the Third
church, Richmond, came to preach to
the school in accordance with the usual
custom of supplying the pulpit by visit
ing ministers. After the sermon at the
night service DR.. Eggleston asked If
there was anyone who desired to be
specially remembered in the prayer that
was then to be offered. number of
such requests were made. The minister
then asked that, If there were any who
were willing to accept Christ as their
Saviour, they would make a public ac-
knowledgement of their desire during
the singing of the last hymn. Before the
service was concluded sixty-nine pupils
had made public confession Of their
Saviour. This remarkable evidence of
religious interest and evident manifest
alton of the Spirits presence led to the
determination to hold services for the
two ensuing days. DR.. Eggleston was
requested to remain and conduct these
services.
On Monday night there were again
marked evidences of deep interest and
spiritual awakening. On Tuesday morn
ing the work of the school was suspend
ed Tor an hour, and a service held at
1880. At this service as we'll as at
the closing one on Tuesday night. the
spirits presence was again shown with

Out of All Danger of Disease
Spreading.

No additional cases OF smallpox de-
veloped at the Columbia Hospital for
Women up to a late hour yesterday, and
the situation there, which. for a time,
because Of the discovery by the Health
Department of three casa& of the dis
ease among the colored patients, assum-
ed the proportions Of a mild epidemic.
has quieted considerably.
For a time some anxiety prevailed as
ito the probability OF the infection
spreading through the entire colored
ward, but this has subsided. and conf
Idence is now felt in the ability of the
Hospital authorities and the Health De-
ipartment to stamp out the disease be-
fore II gains any further headway.
AS was printed in Fridays Times. the
.three infected colored women. Elizabeth
Bell. Alberta Thompson. and Susie Frye,
were removed to the smallpox hospital

Democrats See Chance in
Lowndes-Pearre Fight.
SHANNON LIKELY CANDIDATE
Eonceded That Senator Would Make
Strong Run for Seat in
Congress.

CUMBERLAND. Nd. May 5.-Apropos
of the Lowndes-Pearre fight In the Sixth
district OF this State in which the pres
ent CONGRESSMAN was worsted, looms
up the possibility Of a Democrat going
to the House Of Representatives at
Washington from this Republican
stronghold next fall. The likely candi-
date is the present State Senator, John
B. Shannon.
The reasons for taking an optimistic
view of Snannon's chances, although he
has not as yet announced his candidacy.
are several. 1t was Shannon who upset
all Republican calculations some years
ego by being elected register Of wills for
rAlIegany county, defeating one Of the
istrongest men the opponent party could
discover Shannon's popularity, partic-
uiarly in Frostburg and Homecoming, TO
say nothing of Cumberland carried the
day for him. His next political achieve
ment was his defeat of former State
Senator David Dick for reelection last
fall
Success in Reducing Coal Rates.
At Annapolis shannon bent all his
energies 10 the passage Of a bill TO Sc
cure better coal rates for the independ-
ont operators in the Georges Creek reg
ion.
The bill was aimed at the Cumberland
and Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and
Ohio railroads, and he had the satisfac-
tion of seeing IL passed after a stin
fight.
Merry Lowndes-Pearre Fight Goes On.
The fight being waged by Lloyd
Lovndes, jr., of Cumberland, against
Congressman George A. Pearre for the
Republican nomination goes merrily on.
The reappointment of DR.. Ravenscroft
as Surveyor of the Port by the Presi-
dent last week will probably block the
plan to have Reno s. Harp appointed
naval officer. Congressman Mudd has
formed an alliance with former Con-
gressman Jackson to work against ,ac
efforts of Colonel Pearre to have Harp
appointed. AS Congressman Wachter
also has a candidate for the office. and
is many Republicans are anxious that
ex-Mayor Malster. the present incum-
bent. be reappointed. Mr.. Pearre will
have his hands full.
Mr.. Harp Is being talked of as a Con-
Eressfonal candidate. and the fight be-
tween Lovndes and Pearre might re-
suit in a situation that would allow
Frederick to name the candidate instead
of Allegany.
