Interest in Synod Session.
Much interest is being manifested here
in the forthcoming session of the synod
of the Presbyterian church of Alabama
in Selma on next Tuesday, due to the
fact that at this meeting DR.. j. w.
Stage president, will make an address in
the interest of the Alabama Presbyterian
college in this city, and at an adjourned
session of the north Alabama presbytery
there the resignation of DR.. J. G., Ander-
son as pastor of the first church here,
to become field secretary for home mis-
sions, will be considered.
Additional interest attaches to the meet
ing on account of the statement by the
Rev. W. /. Sinnott clerk OF the pres
bytery, that he would preSsr charges
against the presbytery for it's action
here in indorsing the proposed constitu-
tional amendment and the act of the leg
islature calling al election at this time.
II will be remembered that he differed
with the majority of the members in his
belief that the amendment fight is
frought with politics. and when the reso-
lutions were adopted over his protest he
stated that he would appeal on constitu-
tional grounds to the synod and the gem
eral assembly of the church. While the
fight in the synod may be a lively one,
those who adopted the resolutions think
they have precedent by the action of
the presbytery at Springville calling for
the election in 1907.
