Proposed School Plan Left Out
Washington Ward-Caustic
Criticism Results.

The proposed redistricting Of the
city so as to give Washington ward
schools a place in one of the districts
was eaustieally discussed by members
of the board of aldermen Tuesday
night.
First came bitter criticism OF the
eareiessness Of the school board in
drafting redistricting plan which
left the Southside out in the cold
entirely. 1t was this plan which was
up for consideration, il having been
approved by the committee on ordi-
nance, charter and reform without its
Joker being noticed. The measure was
finally sent back TO the committee
with instructions that the latter send
in proper ordinance to be voted
on"
Before the matter was disposed OF
there were not a few OF the aldermen
who had things to say about the re-
distrfcting plan MIR Barton Fl.
Grundy declared that the proposition
was a piece bit OF peanut politics
played for the purpose Of getting job
for somebody on the school board

CHARLOTTESNI1L VA, Oct IS.
Following in the full text of the
paper adopted by tho Presbyterian
synod yesterday bearing on the sub
iect Of church unity.
we believe that our saviours
PRAYER for his servants, That they
all may be one does not refer TO
an external unity of organization
among Christians. regardless Of con
vtction, but rather spiritual unity
Of love and sympathy. and Of effort
to win the world to Christ. 1t Is the
unity OF the spirit In the bond or
peace The Apostle Paul distinctly
sets forth this principle in First Cor
~, and similar passages by the Illus
tration OF the body and It's members
Just as the eye or the hand does not
constitute the whole body. but each
member has its individuality ana
function and needs the help OF the
other mem bers. and all take together
constitute the body, So no one de-
nomination Of Christians can cons'i-
tate the Christian church. but each
has need Of his brethren, and all to-
gether constitute the great spiritual
body OF which Christ is the living
head. True unity. therefore, is not
to be found in attempting to con
strain all branches of the church to
accept the doctrinai views or polity OF
one branch of the church. and thus
obtain at the expense of honest con-
ytction an external unity, but II is
to be found in mutual love and for
bearance in things wherein We differ,
and in cordial cooperation in things
wherein we agree.
This being true, this synod desires
10 place on record It's sincere afrec-
ton fer all Christian denomination,
We gladly recognize, as the Presby
terrain church has always done. the
administration of the sacraments and
the ministerial ordination of sister
churches as equally valid with our
own. and we desire To unite with all
Christian brethren in every effort
which will draw Christians nearer ia
one another and to our Great Head.
which will enable the church OF
Christ in all its branches To present
a united front To the world and serve
cur common Lord in the salvation OF
men. At the same time we distinctly
provide that no plan of union or CO.
operation shall invoke any compro-
mise of the great principles of the
Protestant Reformation. noT of our
fidelity to the apostolic and historic
presbytery a. held by our beloved
church, and this right of the free ex-
ercise of conscience we fully accord
to others as We claim IL ourselves
ON this basis cur synod Is glad to APP
