THE SOUTH CAROLINA. SYNOD. Mcetng Held at Sumter was Well At? ' tended and Harmonious. The representatives from Walhalla Presbyterian church to the Synod at Sumter returned last week full of praise for Sumter for the manner In which the body was cared for, and pleased with the meeting, which was largely attended and full of interest ing and instructive work for the church. The final sessiou of the Synod was held Thursday night, the meeting having begun on .Tuesday. Tho next meeting of tho Byuod will be held in Charleston. Among che most important actions taken by the Synod was the adoption of a resolution looking to the consol idation of home mission work within th.3 bounds of the Synod instead of by J Presbytery as heretofore. The reso lution ask.) -fv?i->*io-operation on the part of the Presbyteries in a general scheme to be conducted by the Syn odical C nmittee, and under the su pervision ?la general superintendent. The purpose of the resolution is to make the strong Presbyteries aid the weak and to avoid the confusion which necessarily arises from so many home mission agencies bearing practically the same name. This ac tion will go into effect whe:i lt has been approved by four Presbyteries of the Synod. Under the reports on theological t seminaries an overture to the Synods of Georgia, Florida and Alabama to exercise Joint control together with the South Carolina Synod of the Co lumbia Seminary at Columbia, was adopted, requesting these bodies to join the South Carolina Synod in an earnest effort to raise $100,000 for the above named institution. The Synod declined to sustain the complaint of Rev. William H. Mills, of Clemson College, against the Pres bytery of South Carolina for refusing to take up the charges and institute a case of process against Rev. Mark B. Greer, of China, for heritical prac tices in his held of labor In China. Mr. Mills complained against the ac tion of the Synod in thus not sustain ing his complaint to the General As sembly. The Presbytery of South Carolina, in nn adjourned meeting during the sessions of the Synod, received Rev. Bunyan McLeod, Ph. D., of Bennetts vllle, and took orders for his instal lation as pastor of the Central Pres byterian church of Anderson. Rev. I. E. Wallace was also receiv ed and ordered installed as pastor of the church at Pelzer. The following overture, introduced by Rev. W. H. Frazier, was unani mously adopted and ordered sent to the General Assembly: "To the Venerable, the General As. sembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States: The Presbytery of South Carolina would respectfully overture your venerable body, in ses sion at Savannah, Ga., In May, 1909, to take such steps as may seem best looking towards organic union with the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church. We urge this because of the facts that our field is to a great ex tent the same, and further, because in doctrine, polity and worship we are ID almost complete harmony." Had a Close Call. Mrs. Ada L. Croom, the widely known proprietor of the Croom Hotel, Vaughn, Miss., says: "For several months I suffered with a se vere cough, and consumption seemed to have Its grip on me, when a friend recommended Dr. King's New Discov ery. I began taking it, and three bot tles affected a complete cure." The fame of this life-saving cough and cold remedy, and lung and throat healer is world wide. Sold by all druggists. 50c. and $1.
