All the world was 'marvelling at this

the world was watching with pride
and confidence Its maiden voyage. 1t
had been years since great modern

with large loss of life. Wireless tel

make n repetition of that disaster far
less probable. Inventive genius all
the while has been improving other
means OF protection. Never had there
come to exist so great a sense OF Sc
curity OIL the ocean as prevailed when
the Titanic started forth, and If the
dangers of collision still remained to
be overcome, must they not be less

TWENTY-FIVE MINISTER'S AND
DELEGATES ORGANIZE WEST
VIRGINIA SYNOD.


A distinguished body Of minister
and laymen representing the Luthera
denomination of the State are in Fail
mont today for the purpose of form
ing the Synod of West Virginia, tn
sessions being held In the Lutheral
church at the corner OF Third stree
and CASTOR avenue.
These gentlemen arrived here las
evening and the first session OF thu
conference was held last night, whel
Rev. A. w. Dyslnger of the frs
church of Wheeling, preached an ablt
sermon from the text John LA.
The morning session was called tt
order at 3 O'Clock and a temporary or
ganlation was perfected by the clec
ton of Rev. a. F. Richardson, of Graf
ton, temporary president and Rev. W
s. Dyslnger, of Wheeling, temporary
secretary.
The most important matters con
sidered and acted upon at the morning
session was the adoption of two con
stituuons. The first constitution adopt
ed was that of the General Synod
which consists of 25 district Synods
extending from Maine to California
not including the southern States, The
adoption of this constitution admits
the newly formed Synod into the Gen
eral Snyod.
The provisional constitution OF the
new organization was also adopted
at this session.
Twenty-Five ministers and Iaymon,
representing some Is or 90 churches.
are present,
Another important matter which was
discussed at length was newspaper
to be edited by the West Virginia
Synod.
Grafton was selected as the first
place of meeting of the newly formed
conference, which will be known as
either the West Virginia Synod or the
Synod of West Virginia,
The sessions reconvened this after
noon about 1870 o'clock and the or
jganization proceeded to elect officers
for the Synod.
At the time Of going to press the
officers had not been named. Tonight
at the Lutheran church. sermon will
be preached by Rev. o. c. Dean, Of
the Accident charge.
The conference will probably ad.
journ with the meeting tonight though
some matters may be decided upon
tomorrow.
The formation OF the churches Of
West Virginia into a State Synod,
which have heretofore been affiliated
with the Synods Of Maryland and Allie
gheny is expected TO result in much
good in the State and be the means Of
extending the work OF the denOmina-
ton throughout the State and in the
growth of the denomination along all
lines.
The Lutheran denomination has
come to be quite a power in the State
and this banding together into a West
Virginia Synod will result in continued
growth. and usefulness.
A bOuntitul and carefully prepared
dinner was served TO the visiting gen
tlemen by the ladies of the church,
who are noted for their splendid din
ners aud the excellent manner in
which they are served,
