tended the meeting of the Michigan
synod, that gathering being on the
seventy firth anniversary of the organ
ization of the Presbyterian church i'm

of a redistricting of the Prcsbyteries in
the state. At present there are nine
Presbyteries i'm Michigan. and il is
proposed to increase that number to at
least IL and possibly u. The districts
at present are the same as those ar
ranged forty-five years ago, and in
many sections the territory has grown
so large that more satisfactory work
can be carried on If districts are di-
vidcd. 1t is possible that a second
Presbytcry will be set aside in Upper
Michigan. This matter has been placed
in the hands of committee which will
consider it thoroughly and report at
